I guess I had no idea that the Swedes hated Israel this much. It's just a freaking tennis game.

Five thousand demonstrated in Malmö
National News | 2009-03-07
Around five thousand people demonstrated against the tennis game between Sweden and Israel today. A couple of hundred of them tried to attack the police outside the Baltic Hall and force the police´s barrages.

According to SvD some of the militant demonstrators tried to climb up on police vehicles and trash the blue lights. Some of them also climbed up in lamp posts to remove the bulbs. The organizers of the demonstration urged repeatedly the violent groups and individuals to leave the area.

Some individuals, masked and dressed in black, also shot fire works and threw paint. DN writes that a couple of masked demonstrators even attacked one of the peaceful anti-Israel demonstrators because he called those who threw stones at the police for “idiots”.

Before the possession marched towards the Baltic Hall there were speeches by the chairman of the Left party Lars Ohly and one of the founders of the Green party, Per Gahrton.

It is now calm outside the Baltic Arena.
