Over 500 people, including Gustaf Skarsgård, Kajsa Ekis Ekman, and Fredrik Söderholm, have signed a debate article published in Aftonbladet where they criticize SVT's decision to remove Stina Wollter's upcoming TV program from the schedule.

They write that the decision implies "a dangerous watering down of the concept of anti-Semitism". Furthermore, the article authors criticize the debate article published earlier in the week, signed by 200 people, including Katerina Janouch and Anna Nachman, who called Wollter "girl-Hitler". They believe that SVT has allowed a campaign from right-wing extremist circles to influence the decision-making.

The debate has been about an Instagram post signed by Stina Wollter from last autumn, where she claimed that Israel "systematically took organs and skin from dead Palestinians". She also claimed that Israel "killed its own at the festival" during the terrorist attack on October 7, 2023. Wollter has apologized for spreading information that was not true.
