Yet another provocative statement by Sweden's Foreign Minister Margot Wallstrom brought angry responses from Jerusalem this week.
On Tuesday, she said that there was a need for an investigation into "extrajudicial" killings of Palestinians by Israelis during the recent terror wave.
This was just one in a series of similar statements that have been described by the Israeli Foreign Ministry as "irresponsible and delirious".
Last month, in a parliamentary debate in Stockholm, she condemned the terror attacks but added that the Israeli response - around half of the attackers have been shot dead at the scene - was "disproportionate" and could be "extrajudicial executions". On Tuesday, she returned to the same theme, saying: "It is vital that there is a thorough, credible investigation into these deaths in order to clarify and bring about possible accountability."
