Riot Against Jewish Tennis Player at Israel's Davis Cup Match in Malmo,Sweden
Sweden forced the Israeli Davis Cup tennis team to play in an empty stadium due to threats of violence by local radicals.
But that didn't stop them from attacking the stadium.
Thousands of protesters attacked police at the Davis Cup Match yesterday between Israel and Sweden.
Thousands of people demonstrated Saturday during Israel-Sweden Davis Cup play in Malmo, Sweden, to protest the invasion of Gaza.
Police estimated the crowd of protesters at 6,000, The Local reported. About 1,000 officers were on duty on the ground and in helicopters.
Most of those at the Stop the Match march were peaceful but police said some young people rushed the barricades and threw rocks with about five arrested, the BBC reported.
Sweden won doubles play Saturday, giving it a 2-1 lead over Israel.
Empty Arena for Israel's Davis Cup Tie in Sweden
Following a vocal campaign against the Davis Cup tennis Match between Israel and Sweden, in protest at the situation in Gaza, Malmo City Council's sports and recreation committee decided on Wednesday that the match will be held behind closed doors.
The International Tennis Federation said in a statement that the decision by Malmo’s recreational committee was “very unfortunate” and “not in the long-term interests of the Davis Cup.” But it deferred to the local authority.
Wild Thing's comment.......
What a complete disgrace.
The Swedish politicians helped the anti-Israel protesters by keeping the tennis match behind closed doors.
NEVER give in to these people it will only make it worse the next time.

If the muzzies create another Munich incident all hell is going to break out in the middle east, and even with Hillary's E-Stop button won't be enough to stop it.

Mark, thanks for pointing that out, your so right. And with Obama it would make it ever worse with his favoring the muslims.
That button she had was really something wasn't it. And not even saying what she thought it said. They really messed up on that.
