Israel criticizes Sweden for allowing burning of Torah, Bible

Israel criticizes Sweden for allowing burning of Torah, Bible

Israel’s President Isaac Herzog criticized Swedish authorities’ determination to approve the burning of the Torah and Hebrew Bible in entrance of the Israeli Embassy in Stockholm.

“As the president of the State of Israel, I condemned the burning of the Quran, sacred to Muslims world over, and I am now heartbroken that the same fate awaits a Jewish Bible, the eternal book of the Jewish people,” Israel’s President Isaac Herzog stated on Friday.

Stockholm police granted a allow to an applicant to carry a public rally to burn a Jewish and a Christian Bible, in response to Swedish media experiences.

The motion is to happen on Saturday in entrance of the Israeli Embassy within the Swedish capital.

The applicant is alleged to treat the rally as a response to a Quran burning in entrance of the Stockholm mosque on the finish of June.

The burning of Islam’s holy scripture induced outrage and protests amongst Muslims each internationally and in Sweden.

“Permitting the defacement of sacred texts is not an exercise in freedom of expression, it is blatant incitement and an act of pure hate. The whole world must join together in clearly condemning this repulsive act,” Herzog stated.

He added that the entire world should unite and condemn this “heinous act.”

Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu wrote on Twitter, “The State of Israel takes this shameful decision, which harms the Holy of Holies of the Jewish people, very seriously.”

Israel’s Foreign Minister Eli Cohen urged the Swedish authorities to forestall the burning.
