Början på ett mediakrig om mångkulturen?

Många israeler ansåg att Folke Bernadottes medlarförsök var till nackdel för Israel. Man menade att Bernadotte stod i vägen för ett Storisrael, eftersom han tänkte sig att det vid sidan om den judiska staten också skulle finnas en palestinsk stat, och att de palestinska flyktingarna skulle få återvända. Sternligans ledning beslöt i augusti 1948 att Folke Bernadotte skulle mördas

Israels förre ambassadör Zvi Mazel, går till våldsam attack mot regeringen och Svenska kyrkan.

»Det var dagar när det kändes som hela det svenska samhället var emot oss. Svenskar struntar i allmänhet i utrikespolitik och i Europa, men de bryr sig om Israels beteende i Mellanöstern. Ibland undrar jag om de inte helst skulle vilja att vi begick kollektivt självmord och försvann från kartan.«

»Anna Lindh var värst. Hon brukade fördöma oss, säga att vi skapade extremism eftersom det finns en risk att palestinierna förlorar allt hopp. Att Israel var en demokrati som balanserade på en väldigt tunn linje. Hon var väldigt arrogant. Vad fick henne att tro att hennes eget land var så fantastiskt? Jag protesterade så klart, men fick kalla handen.«

av Yvonne Ruwaida (mp) till utrikesminister Anna Lindh om israeliska säkerhetspolisen Mossad

Enligt internationella medier, citerade i DN den 20 januari 2003, så har israeliska säkerhetspolisen Mossad fått lov att döda dem som man betraktar som "fiender" var som helst i världen.

Mossad har fått kraftigt ökade anslag, ny chef @ och möjlighet till "preventiva operationer", det vill säga mord, även i vänskapligt sinnade länder som USA, Storbritannien och Australien, förklarar före detta agenter.

Diversity and trust within communities[edit]
In recent years, Putnam has been engaged in a comprehensive study of the relationship between trust within communities and their ethnic diversity. His conclusion based on over 40 cases and 30,000 people within the United States is that, other things being equal, more diversity in a community is associated with less trust both between and within ethnic groups. Although limited to American data, it puts into question both the contact hypothesis and conflict theory in inter-ethnic relations. According to conflict theory, distrust between the ethnic groups will rise with diversity, but not within a group. In contrast, contact theory proposes that distrust will decline as members of different ethnic groups get to know and interact with each other. Putnam describes people of all races, sex, socioeconomic statuses, and ages as "hunkering down," avoiding engagement with their local community—both among different ethnic groups and within their own ethnic group. Even when controlling for income inequality and crime rates, two factors which conflict theory states should be the prime causal factors in declining inter-ethnic group trust, more diversity is still associated with less communal trust.
Lowered trust in areas with high diversity is also associated with:

Lower confidence in local government, local leaders and the local news media.

Lower political efficacy – that is, confidence in one's own influence.

Lower frequency of registering to vote, but more interest and knowledge about politics and more participation in protest marches and social reform groups.

Higher political advocacy, but lower expectations that it will bring about a desirable result.

Less expectation that others will cooperate to solve dilemmas of collective action (e.g., voluntary conservation to ease a water or energy shortage).

Less likelihood of working on a community project.

Less likelihood of giving to charity or volunteering.

Fewer close friends and confidants.

Less happiness and lower perceived quality of life.

More time spent watching television and more agreement that "television is my most important form of entertainment".

Putnam published his data set from this study in 2001[12][13] and subsequently published the full paper in 2007.[14]

Putnam has been criticized for the lag between his initial study and his publication of his article. In 2006, Putnam was quoted in the Financial Times as saying he had delayed publishing the article until he could "develop proposals to compensate for the negative effects of diversity" (quote from John Lloyd of Financial Times).[15] In 2007, writing in City Journal, John Leo questioned whether this suppression of publication was ethical behavior for a scholar, noting that "Academics aren’t supposed to withhold negative data until they can suggest antidotes to their findings."[16] On the other hand, Putnam did release the data in 2001 and publicized this fact.[17] The proposals that the paper contains are located in a section called "Becoming Comfortable with Diversity" at the end of his article. This section has been criticized[by whom?]for lacking the rigor of the preceding sections. According to Ilana Mercer "Putnam concludes the gloomy facts with a stern pep talk".[18]
In 2007 he briefly met Libyan leader Muammar Gaddafi to discuss the role of civil society in the Libyan political context.[19]

I samband med det andra världskriget flydde många människor, bland anna ttill Sverige och efter kriget öppnade landet sina gränser då man behövde arbetskraft. Rasbiologin och idéerna om de olika folkens olikhet var stendöd som vetenskap och politiskt omöjlig.

De svenska Socialdemokraterna hade inga problem att lämna den tanken bakom sig, för att istället pendla över i en universalism. Man ville assimilera människorna som kom till Sverige, men också minoriteter som redan levde i landet; tornedalsfinnar, romer och samer, de fick gärna bli goda folkhemssossar och följa med på resan mot framtiden, berättar Wickström.
