• Malmö: Ever since I came here people have been shouting ‘fucking Jew’ at me
    Anyone concerned for the re-emergence of anti-Semitism in Scandinavia who is not reading Sweden, Israel and the Jews is robbing themselves blind. If you follow Sweden, this is the place to go. Ilya Meyer has a larger archive. On the other hand Norwegian newspapers, with exception being made for Aftenposten, are not particularly interested in [...] […]
  • ‘Jews themselves wrote lists of whom were to die in concentration camps’
    The University of Oslo wants to fire a history professor – appearently for having violated its health, environment and safety (HES) code. Protesters say this has nothing to do with HES and everything to do with the Univeristy curtailing the freedom of expression of its staff. One of the protestors is Professor of Law Jan [...] […]
  • Norwegian funnymen fearful of insulting Muhammed
    Norwegian comedian Thomas Seltzer. Picture from NRK P3. In 2006 funnyman Otto Jespersen demonstrated his courageous wit by torching the Bible. When asked why he did not burn the Koran, he replied: “We considered that too, but could not get hold of a copy. What is more I am 52 years old now and reckon [...] […]
  • Støre and Syria, Bishops’ Boycott
    FM Jonas Gahr Støre met with Syria’s FM Muallem on Monday8th. Nothing much in the media about that, not at all. Syria hardly registers at all. In the clip above you see a program from Syrian television. Does not this look like the kind of society Norwegians ought to be worried over? Remember [...] […]
  • VG on Bishops’ Boycott
    Verdens Gang (VG) - Norway's largest daily Verdens Gang (VG) is Norway’s largest daily. In today’s editorial the newspaper claims that the Bishops Boycott is, pretty much, a walk down nonsense street.

  • No Press Accreditation for PR-woman Yngvild Mortensen
    Qassam rockets: from Ynet news Dagbladet reports on how freelancing journalist Yngvild Mortensen has her knickers in a twist as Israel refuses to grant her press accreditation. The reason Ms.Mortensen is not getting one is because she is a freelancer, and not in steady employ. When one looks back upon the long series of biased [...] […]
  • Is Dagbladet confusing Gaza with the Westbank?
    Dagbladet attributes this picture to Gaza, by Reuters, Elilana Aponte and Scanpix. The picture above is from an article in Dabladet titled “New peace talks between Israelis and Palestinians“. The first half hour the picture did not have any explaining subtext, which easily might have lead readers to believe the picture shows an Israeli kicking [...] […]
  • FM Støre, Dr Mads, Syversen on the Bishops’ Boycott
    Norwegian Bishops have come up with the idea that boycotting Israel just might be a fine idea. Foreign Minister Jonas Ghar Støre is opposed to a boycott and says so in today’s Verdens Gang – Norway’s largest daily. Unauthorized translation: – It is good that the Church speaks out for the opprssed, but the Church’s main [...] […]
  • Editor slams Bishops’ Boycott
    DagenMagazinet For Vebjørn Selbekk “freedom of expression” is more than just words, as is “courage”. After publishing an article on the cartoon-war in 2006, he became embroiled in it himself, receiving only luke-warm support from the Norwegian intelligensia and political establishment as he stood up for his editorial right to publish news-stories on relevant […]
  • Johan Galtung finds Gaza ‘a replay of the Warsaw ghetto’
    The Russel Tribunal for Palestine is supported by among other Ilan Pappe, Ken Loach and John Pilger. There is also a Norwegian onboard, Mr. Johan Galtung – above behind the rostrum at what appears to be a Turkish university. Below you see a section from a transcript from his lecture, where Mr.Galtung identifies Israel’s policies [...] […]

Sri Lanka slams Norwegian Minister

Erik Solheim is Norway’s Minister of Development Aid and Minister of the Environment. His extensive negotiations on Sri Lanka has made him, at least among some, an extremely unliked man.

Video: Willoch’s analysis is misleading and simplistic

Former premier Kåre Willoch (Conservatives) has for years (recent example in Aftenposten) claimed to find support for his allegations of Israeli atrocities in the findings of Israeli historian Benny Morris.

VG: Nazi mayor helped jewish boy survive

Unauthorized translation from Norway’s largest daily Verdens Gang (VG) on August 25th. If a Nazi-sympathizer could risk his life to save a jewish child, then there is always hope. Maybe gradually more people will open their eyes to how there would not be any talk of boycott of Israel if it was an arab muslim [...]

Editorial on Boström: “The disgusting brew”

Unauthorized translation from DagenMagazinet:

Aftonbladet is Sweden’s largest newspaper. On August 17th the newspaper, in its culture section, printed a long “article” by freelance journalist Donald Boström. The article was a disgusting anti-Semitic brew. Aftonbladet’s editors should have discovered that at first glance. But when this obviously did not happen, it begs the question of what [...]

Norwegian dog lovers hoping to hear more about Aftenposten’s ME correspondent Jørgen Lohne’s family dog – a five year old golden retriever by the name of Maja – were disappointed this morning when Mr. Lohne failed to mention Maja with as much as a word. Instead Mr.Lohne writes about the infamous NORWAC doctor Mads Gilbert, [...]

WWII: Norway received 37 jewish children

From the paper edition of Norway’s largest daily Verdens Gang (VG). Notice how the section chief feared that taking in more children would encourage anti-Semitism. Oddly reminiscent of Dagsavisen’s Mr.Iversen, who the other day warned that Israeli reaction to Boström’s blood-libel story was rabid and might encourage anti-Semitism. Mr. Iversen even had the audacity to [...]

Sweden: Where extremism is entrenched

Unauthorized translation from Document.no:

Jon Hustad has interviewed the former editor of culture in Svenska Dagbladet, Peter Luthersson, on Aftonbladet’s organ-article. The newspaper turned hostile towards Israel already after the six-days war. Now this intellectual Israel-criticism is meeting with new muslem immigrants, who are even more hostile towards Israel. Luthersson is afraid that extremism has entrenched [...]

Jew-horror movie possible source of information for Donald Boström

While this site has no way of knowing, the movie below might have been one of Mr. Boström’s sources for his infamous Aftonbladet body-snatcher article. Yet we do not have any evidence that this is so, so we refrain from making the claim. Yet we would like to remind our readers of how Dagsavisen’s Mr.Iversen [...]

Klassekampen: Why Sweden should not apologize

Many a poor soul is baffled over how to explain his take on the Boström-scandal these days. Those who were in favor of publishing the Muhammed cartoons are now less certain whether the freedom of the press extends to the racist smear of Boström, while those who were adamant that Sweden did right in closing [...]

Palestine Committee: “Possible organ-trade creates knot Israel-Sweden”

Palestine Committee webpage on Boström's article in Aftonbladet

In 2008 the Norwegian Palestine Committee received NOK 3 700 000 from the state. This site is not familiar with how much it makes by peddling t-shirts emblazoned with the text “Boycott Israel” and a graphic of a bleeding orange (Top right). What we do know is [...]
