@Sweden is being run by Sonja this week and has gotten worldwide attention for controversial tweets about Jews. The account is curated by a different Swede every week. (Image: Twitter)
STOCKHOLM (The Blaze/AP) — Each week a different Swedish citizen runs the @sweden account on Twitter — an experiment deemed the Curators of Sweden by promotional organizations to ”present the country of Sweden through the mix of skills, experiences and opinions it actually consists of.”
Like handing over the virtual keys to the country, it’s a risk to let a different person — chosen through a nomination process — run the public online face of the country. Since being enacted late 2011, the initiative by the Swedish Institute and VisitSweden hasn’t seen much action outside its own country until this week when @sweden, being run by a 27-year-old mother, began to tweet controversial posts about Jews.
Sonja Abrahamsson, describing herself as a “low educated” single mother of two from Goteborg, in Sweden’s west, provocatively asked what makes a Jew a Jew, and used crude language.
“What’s the fuzz with Jews” she asked in one tweet on the @sweden account, suggesting it’s hard to tell them apart from other people and then went on to joke about Jewish circumcision.
In another, she said not even the Nazis could tell the difference: “In Nazi German(y) they even had to sew stars on their sleeves. If they didn’t, they could never (k)now who was a Jew and who was not a Jew.”
She also asked whether the Nazis sought to find the difference in the Jewish religion, or whether it was a “blood-thing” for them.

The reactions were immediate. One tweeter wrote “in one day @sweden went from global Twitter superstar to PR embarrassment.”
Another suggested the Swedish chef from the Muppet show might as well assume control over the account, while others defended Abrahamsson’s courage to raise her voice in such a frank way, politely answering her questions and sending her links to read more. One tweeter, who said she was Jewish, said she hadn’t been offended at all.
Later, Abrahamsson apologized if she had offended anyone, saying that was not her purpose. “I just don’t get why some people hate Jews so much,” she added.

Maria Ziv, marketing director at Visit Sweden – a Public Relations agency that set up the project – said the Twitter account would not be shut down just because some people had been provoked.
If Abrahamsson’s comments had been racist “we would have taken them down,” she added.
The Wall Street Journal has more from the social media manager of Visit Sweden on censorship:
“It’s very important for us to let everyone take a unique viewpoint,” said Tommy Sollén, Social Media Manager at VisitSweden, in a phone interview. “Every one of our curators is there with a different perspective.”
Mr. Sollén noted that Sonja is the initiative’s 24th curator and past participants have had a range of occupations, including journalists, truck drivers and school teachers.
“Some of them have been talking about music, some of them have been talking about food,” he said. “Sonja is more focused on her own brand of humor and asking probing questions.”
Swedes frown on censorship, Mr. Sollén said, and to selectively delete posts or ban a particular participant could be seen as blatant censorship. “You cannot look at any specific tweet, you can only judge a curator on the whole week…How else are you going to show the multi-faceted people that Sweden is composed of?”
Tweeters have so far included both a female priest and a lesbian truck-driver.
The tweets are not pre-read or censored, but personal political opinions are to be followed with the hash-tag #myownopinion.
Here are some of Sonja’s other tweets thus far:
Earlier this month, the New York Times reported Patrick Kampmann, the creative director for the advertising company hired to help run the campaign, said the curators are told to “engage in normal twitter activity”:
“I tell them, ‘Please, do this with some dignity — remember that this is an official channel and there are a lot of people reading this, so don’t make a fool of yourself,’ ” he said. “It’s only a soft suggestion.”
As of Wednesday, the @sweden account had more than 43,300 followers and almost 20,000 tweets.

Posted on June 13, 2012 at 2:01pm“Sonja Abrahamsson” is her name. I wonder if she has been asked if she is Jewish? It is a possible question: “Abraham” is not a rare name for Jewish men. She just sounds curious (in both senses of the word, for sure).

Was Abraham a Jew?
I offer you to read this answer, the best, I believe:
By showing the origin of the Jewish people, it is clearly seen that Abraham was not a Jew. The word Jew refers to those of the tribe of Judah, one of the twelve tribes of ancient Israel. II Kings 16:6 contains the first biblical usage of the term. This was many centuries after Abraham’s lifetime.
Report Post »As the name indicates, the tribe of judah descended from the man named judah. He was one of Jacob’s twelve sons (Gen. 35:23). Jacob was one of Isaac’s two sons (Gen. 25:26). Isaac was one of Abraham’s two sons (Gen. 21:3). Abraham was, therefore, Judah’s great-grandfather. He was not a Jew, but was rather one of their ancestors, and should appropriately be called a Hebrew (a descendant of Eber—Gen. 11:17-26).

Report Post »No, you’re right: “Abrahamson” is pretty common last name among Jews.
But I simply wanted some clarification, because out of your remark, one could think that Abraham himself was a Jew.
Before he became Abraham, he was simply Abram, even not a Hebrew, I assume, bit definitely not a Jew.
I love details, sorry.

Posted on June 13, 2012 at 12:21pmFunny, I hear there should be no Israel. Using the ongoing arguments against the state of Israel then that would mean Iraq is wrong for not permitting Assyrians to run the country and Arabs to leave. For that matter, most Arab countries are illegitimate as the area was nothing more than a territory of Turkey for 400 hundred years. Most Arab countries should be greatful to the Western powers for allowing them to reconstruct their previous lands and for creating new countries. The Arabs were given 78% of the Palestinian Mandate to allow local Arabs a country. What more can the Jews do? Gee, what a silly question. Die. Right? And about the 7 nobel prize winners, well, you cannot remove Arabfat as he was nothing more than a terrorist and thug. Giving Arabfat a nobel prize made as much sense as Obama receiving one.

Posted on June 13, 2012 at 9:06pmI’m gonna enlighten the discussion…take it or leave it. The Hebrews descended from Adam. Cain, who killed Abel, was the offspring of of Satan. Cain’s descendents are called Kennites. The Kennites came down through history as Hebrews. the two ‘races’ are virtually indistinguishable from one another.
Report Post »Down through the aeons, The Hebrews, with the personal help of God, brought Adam’s bloodline forward to the advent of Jesus the Christ. The Kennites tried their best to prevent this, and work, to this day, to remove all reference to Jesus, and his victory over death, from the Earth
Jesus called these folk “tares”, and their fate is the same as their father’s.
…..the epistle of Jude; verse four….For there are certain men crept in unawares,who were before of old ordained to this condemnation, ungodly men, turning the grace of our God into lasciviousness, and denying our only Lord God, and our Lord Jesus Christ.
Even the old Hebrews were not aware of this separate race.
An intelligent person can look at these facts, and gain a bit of understanding as to our current spiritual conflicts, and the rise of evil in the modern world.

There is no tribe called Israel. Israel is the collective name for all of Jacob’s/Israel’s descendents, though it is occasionally used refer to the 12 tribes separately from the Levites and the Priests. Ephraim disappeared into exile and Benjamin has no relation to the Davidic line who were from Judah.
@Jerk
Galilean isn’t a race, culture, or country either now or then. If Jesus was a descendent of the kings of Judea or even the descendent of a citizen of Judea then he was a Judean. Since the northern kingdom of Israel was exiled, when the Judeans returned from exile they settled in the north as well. Judean became the German Juden which became the English Jew, from which the term Judaism is derived. Jews aren’t called Jews because they follow Judaism, Judaism is called Judaism because the Jews follow that belief system.
Also, why would I as a Jew believe that Jesus was born immaculate or whatever? Why would I assume that Joseph wasn’t his father. It is your faith that tells you those things as well as how his parents were descended from David. I don‘t know or frankly care if he was David’s descendent or not. For me the argument is interesting only in an academic sense. Practically it makes no difference to me personally.

They achieve high office. You have heard of them. you can literally drive down any road & point to their businesses. No one bothers them.
But here is the clue. While they are of Arab descent, they are not Muslim & no one fears them

Posted on June 13, 2012 at 10:39amCommunism is the brain child of Jews, Moses Hess and Karl Marx. Bolshevism was foisted onto the Russian people in large part by wealthy powerful Jews, Schiff and Warburg. The Menshevik Party was almost entirely Jewish and the prime movers in the Bolshevik Party contained many Jews. A handful of zealots overthrew the monarchy.
The Czar and his family were executed by Jews, as they were replaced with a government that killed ten times as many people that were killed in the Jewish holocaust… but, because they were not Jewish, they do not count.
When you come down off of your high religious fervor horse, and read about reality, you will see a different world.

General Eisenhower warned us it is a matter of history that
when the Supreme Commander of the Allied Forces, General Dwight

He did this because he said in words to this effect:

that this never happened’

“Nobel Prizes are highly political awards. Who’s surprised?” Some of them lately have been. It doesn‘t make the one’s om science political or the ones for the Camp David Accord political. You have not made your point.
You did make the point that Israel is much better than the Palestinian government, PLO or Hamas.
Baruch Kopel Goldstein commits an atrocity and he is condemned by many (praised by a few) & the government takes steps to prevent his glorification by law unlike the PLO & Hamas which glorifies suicide bombers.
“In 1999, after the passing of Israeli legislation outlawing monuments to terrorists, the Israeli army dismantled the shrine that had been built to Goldstein at the site of his interment”

Good job. Now it is made plain in stack contrast. How the state of Israel treats a killer versus how the Palestinians do. Grats! :)

Your lists are really notable. I could add even more outstanding names.
But your intention to present Jews as ‘all so goody-goody’ is too evident to be left unnoticed.
“There is NOT a single Jew who protests by killing people,” you said.
This your statement makes me choke.
I dare remind you that Russian Czar Nicolas The Second was killed together with his wife, kids, and family doctor Botkin by a Jew Yakov Yurovsky under order issued by a Jew Yakov Sverdlov.
I dare remind you that a Jew called Leon Trotsky is responsible for murdering of thousands of Russian citizens; a Jew Lazar Kaganovich organized a famine in Ukraine that killed up to 7 MLN of citizens. The Bolshevik party, where Jews were presented – in both the very top top and all other levels – in a disproportionately huge number, was responsible for killing MILLIONS.
You want me to name modern killers?
Organisations: the Kach, the Irgun, the Lehi, the Haganah and the Palmach…
Individuals: Yaakov Teitel, Eden Natan-Zada, Baruch Goldstein,Yigal Amir…
I think one of the biggest problem that actually stirs up Antisemitism, is that certain Jews are trying to present themselves as a) superior people, b) the only victims of Holocaust, c) who never participated in perpetrating heinous crimes against humanity.

Posted on June 13, 2012 at 10:09amHate for the Hebrews is a spiritual thing little lady – it is an overwhelming sickness brought about centuries ago from the curse of Balaam – a consequence of going against the covenant between God , Abraham, and Abraham’s inheritance – Israel and its Adopted seed. The curse has a cure, unless the curse is followed all the way through by taking the ” Mark of the beast.” – At that point, the curse is incurable. The cure is turning away from sin and walking, instead, towards righteousness – the curse is aggressive – as the end time approaches – the curse will be almost impossible to escape. Your apology shows indifference – good luck if one doesn’t turn to God – God speed if one does.

Posted on June 13, 2012 at 10:29amIf you read the Torah you will find that hate for the Hebrews (and I’m happy that you used the correct term) was well earned. You mentioned Abraham. How did he treat the benevolent Pharaoh of Egypt, who welcomed him and his people with open arms in their time of duress? He pimped his wife Sarah for wealth and power. He lied. He was deceptive. He was cunning. Anything for power and wealth.
These acts are all despicable traits for any other group of people. They are presented as virtuous by the Hebrews… as recoded in their own words. And, as any novice reader of the Torah/Old Testament could tell you, this behavior was not an isolated event.
By the way, the Pharaoh was magnanimous in releasing Abraham and his people. Any other leader would have hung the entire lot.

Posted on June 13, 2012 at 1:51pmI often wondered whether or not Abraham’s deception was brought about by his fear or his capitalizing – Regardless, Sarah was Abraham’s half sister – apparently, by word of mouth, the protection by God ,and God’s Covenant with Abraham ( with his almost countless blessings ) was brought to his attention. Sarah, was very easy on the eye ( like all the ladies on Fox and blaze ) ; also, Abraham loved Sarah more than any other ( wife). Abraham was seventy- five yrs. old at this time, still passed through with his same God, same cattle, and his very same unmolested , easy on the eye, wife. Furthermore, there no perfect characters in the Bible, except for the Lord, God, Jesus. Again, Abraham was awarded “ Righteousness” by God for his obedience to His Word ( Jesus ) .

Posted on June 13, 2012 at 10:08amI’m pretty sensitive about hate-mongering toward the Jewish people and can usually spot hate-based comments right off, no matter how oblique they may be. I fail to see this in any of her Tweets. Maybe she’s genuinely asking what is it about a Jew that triggers such derision toward them from some groups. Always wondered the same thing myself. It seems they’re condemned just for educating themselves, working hard, being blessed, ending up successful, and maybe being a little cliquish. So what’s to condemn in that? What’s that to the non-Jew? other than maybe traits and results to emulate?
