What Israel does against civilians is to be regarded as a Holocaust. Jews do not have any kind of exclusive right to that word. It is not at all mathematically about how many people are destroyed. An indiscriminate murder in order to kill as many people as possible of a people, or a religion, is to equate in annihilation. Israel closes a nasty circle. The world should be ashamed.
Peter Hansson, Stockholm
That Israel’s right -wing government led by Benjamin Netanyahu is evil cannot be apologized by Hamas being evil. The fact that so many innocents are allowed to suffer because of this is unreasonable. Empty words, threats and accusations are no way of solution.
Tomas Edström
Many are upset that neither Sweden’s foreign nor prime minister is able to speak clear language about Israel’s ongoing war crime in Gaza. They have not understood that the Swedish Democrats have tightened the strangle so hard that they seem to be tapping as soon as the question is mentioned. Feel free to compare with the noises when the Social Democrats’ lottery sales come up. Then there are breast tones so it grumbles!
Lars Wengrud
It is a great relief that the Swedish government through Maria Malmer Stenegaard has now finally protested against what is happening in Gaza. But why so late? Was the one of the Israeli government caused and supported the famine disaster the only thing that could cause the outside world to react seriously? Are starving children worse than killed children, injured children, traumatized children, abandoned children, homeless children? And not just children, a population that is being laid as livestock back and forth in their own land without food and water and roof over their heads? A crushed settlement? Shouldn’t the limit for silence long ago have been exceeded? Now Europe has begun to react. But EU mills are slowly grinding and in the meantime the disaster worsens. The fact that Hama’s terrorist act on October 7 against innocent civilians created a hatred is fully understandable. But what followed is inconceivable.
Anita Lilburn and Set Bornstein
It is horrific what is happening in Gaza. It is strange that no countries in the world do anything other than talk. It needs to be put proper pressure on Israel. A proposal that would be felt without costing human life would be to block all air traffic to and from their international airport.

Donald Trump is not the first president to use the decree that rounds the decision of a people parliament. The Weimar Republic (1925–1934) and its president, Paul von Hindenburg, made this a frequent and successful governance for the Nazis’ takeover of power in 1933 when Hitler became Germany’s Chancellor. About this can be read, among other things, in the recently published book « Hitler’s path to power. The Weimar Republic from Democracy to Dictatorship » by Erik Åsard. We can probably learn from the story.

Is Ukraine an exercise field where you test Russian robots, rockets and drones? An exercise field as a foreplay for a major war?
Claes Thulin, Ljungsbro
The fact that a country attacks a neighbor with bombs and grenades and has evil intentions even with our own country, it does not seem to mean anything at all in the warm Swedish soul. We continue to whine about the smallest small thing, while the Ukrainians are allowed to sit and freeze in their basements. Practically every employee and pensioner would, without further ado, donate one thousand a month to Ukraine’s struggle for our freedom. It will be SEK 6 billion a month. But now we sound like toddlers who don’t get their lollipop. It is sad and difficult to understand. Hakon Malmborg, Bromma
I do not load the UK for the suspicion of Helmi Franklin (Noted on May 20) believe. I just point out that until Hitler took Prague, Neville Chamberlain’s attitude was largely the same as Per Albin Hanssons. For this, no fact is needed. Winston Churchill had no fact when he thundered against his government.

After reading DN Debate article Written by seven -read and credible researchers regarding nuclear power or not in the future, I wonder what the current government is doing. The issue has become a heart failure for Ebba Busch, who refuses to speed slowly in such a serious decision for future generations. A vote with in advance given results must now be made to justify the investment. Isn’t it time to ask those who will pay the expensive party in a new referendum instead? If you have to believe those who have calculated the costs, it will be an expensive story for the taxpayers in the end. The electricity producers do not want to risk their profitability and take any risks. The risks should be placed on the grass roots. Ebba Busch has decided to get through her idea of the future of nuclear power before the next election to justify its place as Minister of Energy. She completely ignores what the investment will cost and who will pay. The main thing is that she can keep her election promise. Is it really the kind of policy we want to move Sweden forward?
Solveig Rosenlind
Several L-districts Want to see Romina Pourmokhtari as a new party leader. In recent years, she has implemented and painted a climate policy that increases emissions. If the time parties win the election next year, SD wants ministerial posts. I hope she will not use her discretionary talents to portray it as liberal politics to give power over much of the state apparatus to a right -wing party, which among other things cleans out government officials with « wrong » political view and wants to remove undesirable activities from the universities and the culture, a party that sees the likes of them » Opinions therefore outweigh the facts.
Dag Henning, Linköping
Wondering how representatives of the time parties and the Center Party sleep about nights when they now raises high -cost protection on drug? Everyone in Sweden is entitled to care and medicines, regardless of wallet. We have all paid taxes for a long time to have safe healthcare. Now the government chooses to knock the legs on those who are already lying, while those who have a large wallet receive less tax and are becoming richer. Where is the solidarity and how can this happen and continue in Sweden? The look is now directed until the election 2026 – with hope of change!

I identify with the social security number and bank ID to talk to Telia’s customer service, with the intention of knowing their paper letter mail address. I wait ten minutes in the handset. The address was difficult to find, they said. I will send my letter to Luleå. The response letter I received was signed by the first name Karin. Are all employees named at customer service, Telia in surname?
Roland Ingemarsson, Hellvi
Merci For the nice, new pharmacy advertising in French! Why should there be so much English influence in time and time, when there are so many languages? A small patch on the wounds for the creepy the commercials with the girl and the plastered legs. Urr.

Opinions about DN
Johan Cronemans Criticism of SVT’s investment in Eurovision Song Contest Be brilliant. Lucky that Sweden did not win so we escaped all the resurrection and costs at a profit. I call the final for the European Championship in race singing, which is supplemented with bangs, flashes and masked. It is a pleasure for ear and soul, however, to rarely listen to SVT at the New Year concert from Vienna and/or Count Basie as an alternative.
