Swedish protest Israeli tennis competition in Malmo Sweden

Over 10 000 protest against Israeli participation in the Davis cup being hosted in Malmo Sweden

On Saturday (07.03.09) over 10 000 protesters gathered to protest the Israeli Sweden tennis match as part of the Davis cup tournament. Many feel that a boicott of Israel is the only way to get the military state to cease its brutal occupation of the remnants of Palestine.
Over 1000 police were present to prevent protesters entering the stadium. According to local reports the police used heavy handed tactics to try to disperse the largely peaceful protest, which then led to stone throwing from a small amount of protesters. At one point a policeman drew his service revolver but was dissuaded from using it by a fellow officer.
As for the match, not sure who ’won’, but allowing Israel to feel part of a civilised community means really that nobody won here, but at least the boicott movement resulted in a largely deserted stadium during the fixture.
Such boicotts must continue if the Israelis are to get the message loud and clear that ordinary people the world over are sick of their murderous methods in dealing with their brutal occupation of Palestine.

A link from Norways daily paper Dagbladet is included although the report is in Norwegian there are some good pictures and video footage.
