Swedish parliamentarian Gustav Fridolin, as you can see from the photo accompanying this article at the Jerusalem Post, likes to mousse his hair into a sort of reverse DA. He also likes to hang out with the ISM tools, Israeli anarchists, and their Palestinian minders when they non-violently attack Israel’s security fence with bolt cutters as “protesters” use peaceful slingshots to non-violently hurl large rocks at Israeli guards: Swedish MP detained, to be deported.

A Swedish member of parliament was among eight demonstrators detained by Judea and Samaria Police on Wednesday following a violent clash in Budrus, a West Bank village some four kilometers from Modi’in. They were protesting the construction of the security fence on the village’s lands. …

While waiting to learn whether he would be sent home, Fridolin told The Jerusalem Post that he felt that as a politician it was his job to go out and meet the people and learn first hand what is happening. His advice to those who claim the security fence is the only way to prevent suicide bombers from entering Israel is to heighten efforts to bring about peace.

“If Israel wants to enjoy better security, then you have to make the people living in Palestinian territories less desperate,” he said. “Forcing them off their land and uprooting their olive trees only causes people to become more desperate and it encourages those horrible people [suicide bombers], whom I deplore, to perpetrate attacks.”

Israeli Foreign Ministry spokesman Yonatan Peled said the ministry was in contact both with the Swedish Foreign Ministry and the Swedish embassy about Fridolin’s detention.

According to Peled, Fridolin – a member of the Green Party – also took part in Friday’s protest against the security fence that led to the shooting of Israeli activist Gil Na’amati.

An interesting point about these peacefully violent protests: the one on Wednesday was staged at a place where the fence exactly follows the Green Line.

Pro-fence activists said Wednesday’s clash proved that protesters opposed the fence even when it hugs the 1967 borders.

“Budrus sits on the Green Line,” said Marc Luria, of the Security Fence for Israel group. “We have been pushing for the fence for about three years. It is the government’s fault for being so slow in building the fence; today’s protest exemplifies that they [the Palestinians] will oppose it wherever it is. It is indicative of their opposition to building the fence in general, that is why the Palestinian leadership is involved in supporting such actions.”
