Attackers vandalize Palestinian scout tent in Sweden
Ma’an – 06/08/2011
BETHLEHEM — Unknown attackers vandalized a Palestinian scout tent in Sweden on Thursday during the World Scout Jamboree, the head of the Palestinian delegation told Ma’an.
Traditional artifacts were on display inside the tent to show Palestine’s cultural heritage.
Attackers destroyed parts of the tent, took down the Palestinian flag, ripped a map of Palestine and tore up some photos showing the Palestinian cause. They left a note warning that they would not leave the Palestinian scouts alone.
The head of the Palestinian delegation filed an official complaint with the Jamborees’ organizers, who have opened an investigation into the vandalism.
Some 40,000 scouts from 146 countries are participating in the jamboree, and many scouts from different countries helped to rebuild the Palestinian tent.
Each region was represented by one country at the jamboree, and Palestine was chosen to represent the Arab world and the Arabic language.

A somewhat similar situation exists today in the United States, where war hawks demand that Iran–which in no way could effectively attack the United States, or even conquer America’s Middle East so-called allies—be stripped of its ability to protect itself.
Of course, what makes the American situation different from ancient Rome’s is that Rome sought to eliminate Carthage for its own interests whereas the United States is largely acting to advance the military interests of Israel… continue
