Australia has been dubbed “The Sweden of the South,” and from Peter Wertheim, executive director of the Executive Council of Australian Jewry comes a robust statement deploring the attack on the Jewish community centre in Malmö, Sweden last Friday:

“It is bad enough that the Jewish Community Centre in Malmö was attacked with an explosive device and bricks through its reinforced entrance just after Yom Kippur. What is worse is that in Sweden, a country that prides itself on its progressive human rights record, the authorities lack the courage to confront the pervasive Jew-hatred that produced this attack in the first place and to bring the perpetrators of past attacks to justice. Worse still is the apparent public and media indifference.

European civilisation has failed to cast off its long and disgraceful history of anti-Jewish prejudice and persecution. The mark of Cain remains etched indelibly on its forehead, and for this it will one day again pay a terrible price.”
