• March: Approximately 100-150 cars equipped with Palestinian flags and anti-Israeli and anti-Jewish placards and posters circulated in the city center of Malmö during the afternoon. Some of the cars had also Hezbollah flags. Most of the cars went by the Synagogue and yelled in Arabic and Swedish: "Israel is destroying our homes in Palestine", "Israel = Hitler".
• April: The Jewish Community of Malmö received a written threat by the mail. The mail was opened at the post office. The threat was aimed to “the fucking Jews and the Israeli murderers”.
• June: A small canister with a label "Zyklon B" was found outside the Malmö Synagogue. The canister was attached to a parking sign next to the building. The police was called to the scene, which made a report and took the canister for technical investigation. Zyklon B was the type of gas used by the Nazis during World War II to gas Jews to death in the gas chambers of Auschwitz, Treblinka, Bergen Belsen and elsewhere.
