Kristersson: Hatred towards Jews is worse than towards Islam

Anti-Semitic propaganda is more serious than anti-Muslim, says Prime Minister Ulf Kristersson (The Moderate Party).

I dislike all forms of insults. But I think anti-Semitism has a special position, for many different reasons. Anti-Semitism has a completely unique history and it constantly finds new ways to spread old conspiracy theories, he says to Dagens Nyheter.

In an interview with the newspaper, Kristersson is held accountable for recurring scandals where Sweden Democrat politicians, among other things, have been accused of spreading harsh criticism of Islam. Most recently, the chairman of the Justice Committee, Richard Jomshof, was investigated for incitement against a group of people for two images shared on X, but the investigation was dropped.

The Prime Minister is responsible for the government and the cooperation in Tidö – but each party must take responsibility for what they themselves do and say, according to Kristersson.

When asked if it is worse to spread derogatory images of Jews than to spread corresponding images about Islam, he responds:

Yes, spreading anti-Semitism that targets Jews as a people, that is really bad.
