Sweden

A woman given the chance to briefly take over Sweden's official Twitter account sparked controversy after posting comments about Jews. Sonja Abrahamsson, a single mother of two from Goteborg asked what makes a Jew a Jew and went on to joke about Jewish circumcision.Later, Abrahamsson apologised, saying that was not her purpose. "I just don't get why some people hate Jews so much," she added. The project allows different citizens from various walks of life to curate the account each week, so far including both a female priest and a lesbian truck-driver.
