That many SD voters have had enough of the SD leadership's at least intimate relationship with Israel was noticed in September.

Then Fria Tider reported that the Sweden Democrats' cultural policy spokesperson Alexander Christiansson appeared on a video from Israel – in which he wept knelt down in front of an Israeli settler.

The same SD leader had just announced that in a collaboration between the SD and the government he would donate nine million tax kroner to Barbara Specter's left-wing radical Jewish think tank Paideia. Barbara Specter became internationally famous after she claimed in an Israeli television interview that Jews have a “leading role” in transforming Europe into a multicultural one.

“Long live Israel, long live the West, long live democracy!” writes Jimmie Åkesson now in a new post on X on the anniversary of the 7 October attack.

“The terrorist act, which was shamefully celebrated in several places in Sweden, was not only an attack directed against Israel, but also against all those values ​​we in the West stand for – freedom, democracy and human rights,” continues the SD leader.

He also claims that Israel's struggle is also Sweden's.

“Iran, both by its own power and through its henchmen Hamas, Hezbollah and the Huthi rebels, is responsible for this terror and destruction. Their goal is clear: to create instability, make peace impossible and to wipe out Israel and all the Jews of the world. Sweden and the entire free The world must stand united in our condemnation of these terrorist organizations and support Israel in its right to defend its people and its sovereignty. By extension, Israel's struggle is also Sweden's and the entire West's struggle,” writes Åkesson.The post is illustrated by a photograph of Jimmie Åkesson when he visited Israel in January this year together with party colleagues to show his support for the country and establish contacts.

In the comments, there are many who are critical of Åkesson's actions.< /p>

“Stop embarrassing yourself Jimmie,” reads one reply.

Another user asks: “Why did you give 9 million to Paideia? What was your idea?” – but have not received an answer.

Others write that Åkesson is a “traitor” who serves a foreign people and their interests rather than his own.

“If you get a minute over while you're bullshitting Israel, maybe you can close the borders? Think about your own people?” states a nationalist female user.

Another comment to Åkesson in the same vein reads: “Shut up about Israel and focus on Sweden you cursed idiots. 100k new residence permits in Sweden under you, what the hell are you doing? “
