Minnesmanifestation för gisslan två år efter attacken

On the second anniversary of the Hamas-led terrorist attack on October 7th 2023 Norrmalmstorg was filled with people who wanted to remember and honor the Israeli hostages still held captive in Gaza Demonstrations were organized by the organization Bring Them Home Stockholm to remind people of the detained and demand their release The Gisslan issue is not a political matter but a human issue and that it must be stated that the hostage must be released It was wrong to take the hostages and it is wrong to keep them and they need to be released now Boboth says he has become cautious about hoping after two years without results and says that he is waiting to believe in any promises until the hostages are actually released I mean Trump is as credible as a lottery ticket When people are out I know they are out Before they are out it's not over for another year They also point out that important organizations could have done more in this matter I am extremely disappointed that the Red Cross has done nothing for two years I am extremely disappointed that Amnesty International They have the right to wallpaper the subway with lots of advertisements but not a single word about hostages In general it's the case that people have stopped talking about hostages as if that were no longer an issue This is a war that Israel did not start and it is a war that can end tomorrow by releasing the hostages Lars Adaktusson chairman of the Sweden-Israel Friendship Associatio She gave a speech at the memory demonstration on Norrmalmstorget He called October 7th one of the darkest days in the modern history of the Middle East We all know what happened and we know the significance of the bestial massacre that was carried out then Regarding the development in the Middle East It is important to remember what happened to remember those who were murdered And also look forward and see the opportunities now to try to achieve some form of solution in the Middle East So this is a manifestation to remember but it is also a manifestation where there is a small hope for a solution Adaktusson says the public debate has become increasingly polarized And that media coverage has often been biased and hostile towards Israel It is Hamas that is primarily responsible Hamas seeks to maximize civilian casualties using human shields and so on It has not been portrayed sufficiently This does not mean that Israel is without responsibility absolutely not Has committed crimes against the laws of war crimes against humanity Of course those responsible on the Israeli side must also be held accountable for this He also expresses concern about the rising antisemitism in Sweden There are no words to describe how disgusting this is and how important it is for us To combat and counter all these antisemitic movements that exist It is fundamentally a threat to human dignity but also a threat to democracy and to Sweden
