The Jewish International Film Festival in Malmö cannot proceed as planned.One reason is that cinemas do not want to lend out their premises due to safety concerns."We made that decision for the safety of our employees," says Irene Hernberg, PR manager for Filmstaden Norden...."We made the decision in the spring because the geopolitical situation was unstable. Our employees were worried. It was the employees themselves who said there could be demonstrations outside," she tells DN.In the end, [festival organizer] Ola Tedin received positive signals. The Jewish film festival was to be held at Moomsteatern. But then new information came:"Fourteen days ago, I got the message that they had needed to check the booking with Folkets Hus, which owns the premises. Then the board came back with the message that it wasn't possible to hold the film festival there," Ola Tedin explains.DN has sought out Roger Olsson, chairman of the board. He informed Ola Tedin via email: "The board has assessed that we cannot ensure the safety of existing tenants, participants, staff, and the surroundings."
The police said they didn't see any problem with security. This was purely a decision made by the venues.
"Safety" has been the excuse to exclude, or attempt to exclude, Israeli and Jewish participation in other events recently, such as various cycling events and Eurovision. But in the end it is always the Jews who have to suffer - and the boycotters and violent protesters are the winners.
Its funny how there is always a reasonable sounding excuse to discriminate against Jews.
