From Pamela at Atlas Shrugs:
A friendly football match between Israel and Finland took place a couple of days ago in the Finnish city of Tampere, at least on the field it was all sports, but not in the stands.
Israel's ambassador to Finland, Avi Granot, (whose parents were saved by ending up on Oscar Schindler's list) was witness to the spectacle, as Arab supporters of Hezbollah watching the football match, took to waving flags of the Lebanese terrorist organization, as well as unrolling banners in Arabic that can be pretty much guaranteed to be as volatile and acerbic as the anti-Israel slogans being shouted.
According to the wood version of the Finnish tabloid paper, Ilta-Sanomat, the sponsors of the event confiscated all the anti-Israel material being waved around by the supporters of terrorism, and removed the pro-Hez squad from the stands.
According to the article, Kimmo Lipponen, the Finnish Football secretary, said that all political demonstrations at matches are expressly forbidden.BUT THAT'S NOT ALL! Far Leftist Finnish MP, Paavo Arhinmäki (Vasemmisto= The Left) was also in the stands watching the match and didn't find anything out of place with the banners, Hez flags and anti-Israel slogans being bantered about by the supporters of terrorist group. NO, quite the contrary, he found them to be appropriate:
Paavo Arhinmäki: "A gang (edit: good term) was shouting something about Palestine but I didn't see anything in it that that was inappropriate. Arhinmäki stated. [...] I didn't shout anything myself during the match,´that nothing could be said of it. I'm very careful about that."

There's more - go.
Europe has already lost the war and cannot even see it before them as they view the world through their rose colored glasses. Damn fools!
