The Chief Rabbi of Israel, Rabbi David Lau, addressed the Prime Minister of Sweden this past Friday, Ulf Hjalmar Ed Kristersson, following the decision of the local police to allow a demonstration in front of the Israeli Embassy in Stockholm, in which the demonstrators planned on burn Torah scrolls and Christian Bible books.
