Footage from the demonstration on Sunday, which is circulating on social media in Sweden, includes chants in Arabic which are understood to translate to "slaughter the Jews" and "stab soldiers".
Isaac Bachman, who has been Israel's Ambassador to Sweden since 2012, posted on
Facebook on Monday that the messages coming from the southern Swedish city of Malmö were "very disturbing".
"These are extremely troubling instances of a grotesque but nevertheless very real – and murderous – incitement which must be dealt with by the full force of the law!" he wrote.
Meanwhile others were split on whether or not Swedish politicians Hillevi Larsson (from Prime Minister Stefan Löfven's Social Democrat party) and Daniel Sestrajcic (from the Left Party), should have spoken at the rally.
