Focus Syria

Lately, there has been fairly little coverage on Israel, mainly due to the horrific events unfolding in Syria. For somebody with several years worth of experience following Norwegian media’s ME coverage, it is almost bizarre to watch the media show at home as it unfolds. For several days in a row, media has shown us gory pictures of maimed persons, of endles […]

Chicken come home to roost

In the wake of the PM’s apology to Norwegian Jews for the persecution, state terrorism and injustice suffered during WWII, many other ministers feel they have to step up to the pressure to fight anti-Semitism in Norway.

Rockets over Israel go untold

While the Norwegian media rightly now focuses on the ongoing atrocities in Syria, and even our FM has felt compelled to politely tell the naughty Assad regime off for the continuing blood bath, one may perhaps be sympathetic to editors’s decision to not cover news from Israel.
