It is very rarely that you read about the Finnish Jewish community in Finland - they are pretty invisible to the common man. Today, however, they made their way to the headlines of some Finnish newspapers, for standing up for their own values.
The Jewish community of Finland had made a complaint about a anti-Zionism writing in a department store owned "newspaper" that is distributed for free. I'm using quotation marks for the word newspaper here, as a quick visit to the publication's website shows the level of reliability, trustworthiness and quality of the writings there. Read and believe only at your own responsibility, could be said.
The text is written by an Argentinian man, titled how USA is a puppet for the Zionist movement. According to him, Zionism is to blame for the events in Hiroshima, Somalia and well, basically any conflict ever happened on any continent of the world. All the powerful countries of this planet (USA, France, Italy, UK...) as well as NATO and the UN are run by the ideology of Zionism: pick a target, create terrorism, write about it in global media to create a fuss, march in as liberators, force own ideology and finally steal natural resources and exit.
There are comments for and against the text. Some label it as pure racism, some say Zionism is politics and Judaism religion - so therefore criticizing Zionism not anti-Semitism. Some of the comments I don't dare even translate but you can imagine what kind of text can be found in over a 100 comments. Bible, Talmud and basically everything between heaven and earth (literally) is brought in - again.
In addition to the Jewish community, a private person has also made a complaint to the Finnish police regarding the this text. Over the past 10 years, the community has made six similar complaints and all of them lead to fines being issued or other measures. Let's see and find out what happens with this case.
