Hundreds of anti-Semites march in Sweden on Yom Kippur ; 50 arrested
600 members of openly anti-Semitic Nordic Resistance Movement parade in all-black outfits, tussle with riot police; group barred from passing near synagogue
NMR, which promotes an openly anti-Semitic doctrine, originally sought to pass near a downtown synagogue during the march, which coincided with Yom Kippur, Judaism’s holiest day of the year. But Swedish courts intervened and shortened the route to less than one kilometer (0.6 mile.) The rally’s ending time also was shortened to avoid clashing with a nearby soccer game.
Swedish Jews face anti-Semitism both from the nationalist far right as well as the far left, whose strong criticism of Israel sometimes veers into anti-Semitism.
“Almost all of our members have some sort of connection to the Holocaust
,” he said. “It is obvious that it is upsetting
for them to see, and maybe hear, Nazis protest close to the synagogue, when everyone is there at the Yom Kippur service,” he added, speaking before the route of the march was moved away from the synagogue.
The
Swedish Resistance Movement (
Svenska motståndsrörelsen or "SMR") was founded by Klas Lund. In 2020 its leader was Simon Lindberg, and its political wing was managed by
Pär Öberg [
sv]. It is known for its opposition to
non-white immigration to Sweden.
