Antonio leads us to the thext "Case Sweden. Let me just rebunk some of the things this organisation states:
"Sweden's crucial role in supplying Nazi Germany iron ore and military facilities."
Well, does the association remember Finland was a Nazi ally?
"The Swedish Vikings were the terrorists of their time, who killed thousands of innocent people."
Vikings were not "Swedish", because the country did not exist yet. If anything, they started in nowadays Denmark. Anyway, Human Rights were not discussed until a thousand years later!
And does the association remember how Finns like to associate themselves with the vikings?
"In 1918 Swedish officers and soldiers were involved in the Civil War of Finland. During the fights and after them some 20 000 Finns were starved to death or executed."
Well, well, well... the organisation forgets to say that these people were killed because they were part of the "Red Army", with full support from the *Finnish* "White" government!
How about that for twisting History?
Yet another example of "not noticing the elephant on one's garden, yet shouting about the ant on the neighbour's"!!!
