Golda Zandman, an 89-year-old Holocaust survivor, who arrived in Israel largely thanks to the Swedish government, was amazed by this statement. "It's simply not true – the Swedes are not anti-Semites," she told Ynet on Sunday. "There is no such thing in Sweden. But what would Lieberman know about it? He emigrated from Russia."

"One down, 999,999 to go" - Racism in practice

I have previously posted a note on how Gazans returning to their homes have found them vandalized by occupation forces. Ynet has an article published today, on the racist slurs left behind by IOF soldiers. Amongst the houses affected by IOF graffiti were the ruins of the Samouni family residence, a family which was targetted in the massacre and lost several of its members. According to Ynet, slurs found in Zeitoun include "Die you all," Make war not peace," "Death to Arabs", "Arabs must die" and "One down, 999,999 to go."

IOF officials have now initiated a probe into the matter.
