What's most amazing is that Finland isn't even one of the European nations in danger of being taken over by the Muslim settlers. So it's not an anti-Muslim attitude that motivates these demonstrations. They seem to simply recognize that there's a single democracy in the Middle East that's on the front line of defense against the global jihad.This is very interesting! Finland is a country to be proud of. When the Nazis came to Finland and told them that they came to help them solve “the Jewish problem”, their answer was:
“We don't have a Jewish problem!”
FINLAND SAVED THEIR JEWS!! Now they stand up for ISRAEL
Finland: Thousands hold pro-Israel rally
Thousands gather in Helsinki to protest media's 'biased' coverage of flotilla raid. Israeli ambassador: Demonstrators came here to say Israel has right to defend itself
The Finnish capital's streets were filled with Israeli and Finnish flags as participants marched towards the port while chanting slogans in support of the Israel Defense Forces and waving banners protesting what they claimed was the biased media coverage of the flotilla raid.
The protestors also sang “Hevenu Shalom Aleichem (We Brought Peace Upon You)".
"Seeing this support brought a lot of joy, particularly in light of the local media's blitz on Israel in the days that followed the incident at sea. The picture is beginning to balance out due to the photos of the weapons that were found on the (Gaza-bound) ship," said Moyal.
"To see all the Israeli flags being waved and the thousands of people marching was very heart-warming," he said.

While Israeli flags are being burned in many European capitals in the aftermath of the deadly flotilla raid, thousands of people took part in a pro-Israel rally in Helsinki on Thursday.

Itzik Moyal, an Israeli who lives in Helsinki, estimated that more than 2,000 people took part in the rally. "Most of them are not even Jewish, they came here following a call by a pro-Israeli Christian organization, which coordinated the event with the Jewish community," he told Ynet.
The Jewish community in Finland numbers some 1,500, among them 200 Israelis.
Israeli Ambassador to Finland Avi Granot, who also took part in the rally, said the protestors "came here to say they believe in Israel and in its right to exist and protect itself from its enemies."
