I have noticed that SVT began to describe Gaza as a « enclave ». If it is conscious lie or ignorance I do not intend to speculate. Anyone who can read a map can see that Gaza, a little rough, borders the Mediterranean in the west, Israel in the north and east and Egypt in the south. The definition of an enclave is that its boundaries are surrounded by a country, such as the Vatican (Italy), Llivia (France) and Lesotho (South Africa). Based on these simple facts, we can easily see that Gaza is not an enclave. Do if doing right!

Regardless of what or who has created the temperature rise on earth, it would be a blessing for the planet’s habitat if the grotesque number of family was planned to a lower level, where human ravages would do considerably less harm. At the same time, this measure is likely to be able to give a residence for billions of climate refugees. Example: It is man who cuts down forests, fish out lake and sea, poisoning parts of the environment, and more and more. We were one billion in 1800. Now: 8 billion.

What kind of mobilization plans do we have to meet the widespread hybrid war? We don’t know who or who Cuts off electricity and communication cables. Or who is behind the growing cyber attacks. The hybrid war also applies burglary on different waterworks in Sweden and several other European countries. The hybrid war does not take summer holidays.

What the Swedish Democrats Jimmie Åkesson and Mattias Bäckström do not understand (DN Debate 12/6) is that all the companies and organizations they criticize for supporting the Social Democrats are national and member-owned cooperatives, where members, through voices and elected representatives, in democratic order, decide what their possible surplus should go to. It is not corruption, it is democracy according to the principle a vote.
Christer Åberg, Jutholmen
It is misleading and false to call a political party the Sweden Democrats, when they criticizes the popular movements who have been involved in the construction of modern Swedish society. The popular movements were started in small contexts and close consultation between people with common needs and will to get a better society at a time of poverty and oppression of society’s governing top tier. They came together as religious on issues of sobriety, education and working conditions and production. The foundation of the popular movements can be found in ancient traditions with community around the pet’s pasture, cultivable land, water source and common wells, road facilities, bridge construction, church construction and common assembly rooms such as Folkets Hus, sports associations, theater associations, hometown associations and all types of associations, harbor associations, harbor associations, harbor associations. Within the joint, modern democracy is managed. There you learn to handle different opinions and find justice in common agreements. Everyone is involved and gives the group their special experiences and knowledge. If you do not like popular movements, collaboration and agreements, you are definitely Swedish and undemocratic. Democracy is obviously not a typical Swedish. Democracy unites people around the world.

Glossary for those who want to eye through SD’s fantasies about « The Social Democrats’ business empire »:
● « Operated companies » are member -owned activities that were created to meet needs, where profit interests often excluded people with great needs but small, financial resources. Today, these organizations such as Coop, HSB, Riksbyggen and Folksam are struggling to find people who want to get involved in the businesses. For example, DN has written about Coop’s shrinking market shares after another. Business empire?
● « Loyqualities are deeply imprinted. » Yes, it should worry that SD that humanity, concern for those who have a hard time, so difficult that they have left their hometown for another country, that such consideration must be called « imprinted loyalty ».
● « Party Political Business Complex. » The cooperative movement over a hundred years ago included the whole of Sweden, including the peasant cooperation. For example, Arla is part of it, Granngården as well. Cooperation – collaboration – is as Swedish as it can be.

Sharpen yourself, you journalists at SVT and TV4! More and more, you hear in your news broadcasts how you say « among other things » when listing which (living) persons participated here or there. When it comes to people, or as sometimes, when only one title is mentioned, it is called « among others ». « Attended the meeting, among other things, the Minister of Defense also made. » Not something the cat dragged in.
