Sports and Politics

Sweden has become the centre of attention for a lot of people around the world the last weekend, because of a Davis Cup tennis game. It is not that the game involves world players or is the final game, the thing is that the game was played against Israel in the city of Malmö, where the ruling socialists decided that it had to be played without spectators. The official reason was security concerns, and there were some small anti-Israel demonstrations, but the real reason has to be anti-Israel opinions among the ruling politicians. I believe this is unworthy of the relationship with a democracy like Israel.
