On the recordings from a voter meeting, the prime minister is heard saying that “Israel has the right to people…” and then changes his mind and says “Israel has the right to defense”.
Now incorrect captions from the incident are being spread where Kristersson allegedly says that “Israel has the right to genocide”.
Millions of views
The clip has received millions of views worldwide and gives the image of an anti-Islam prime minister.
Swedish authorities have followed the distribution of the clips over the past week and according to several sources, it is believed that a foreign power is fueling the campaign.
The accounts that have been active so far are in several cases the same ones that ran the so-called LVU campaign, with the clearest example being the Egyptian account Shuoun Islamiya. At the time of writing, the pro-Russian news service RT has also hinted that Kristersson was about to say “genocide” and this has also been noticed by the Turkish media.
The authority for psychological defense has previously come out and warned that the LVU campaign may continue for a long time to come and that the various actors will look for new postings that can be exploited.
Want to paint Sweden black
The goal above all seems to be to paint Sweden black and point out Sweden as a country hostile to Islam.
The motive is to divide, weaken the cohesion of society and tear up strong emotions.
A further consequence of this concerns the NATO process, where the government now expects a ratification in the Turkish parliament at the beginning of December.
But the greater the spread of the false image of Sweden as an Islam-hating country – the more difficult it will be for Turkish parliamentarians to say yes to Sweden in the country’s parliament.
