Norway, Israel and the Jews
Document.no is a news-site which covers stories and perspectives Akersgata – Norway’s Fleet Street – and state broadcasting prefers to ignore. While the Norwegian establishment pretends that Document.no does not exist, it is becoming increasingly evident that the little website is a valid expression of popular discontent which – in a democracy – ought...
The photo above, from Frontlinjer (Front-lines) show us a young Mads Gilbert with Pål Steigan. At the time Mr.Steigan was a leading figure in the communist party AKP-ml, an organization which had a tremendous impact on Norwegian society until it crumbled in the 1980-ies. Mads Gilbert was a young acolyte in those days, but...
“Eyes in Gaza” by NORWAC doctors Mads Gilbert and Erik Fosse has as its purpose to make the reader disgusted with Israel and supportive of the “Palestinian cause” – and by extension Hamas. You will soon find the book, highly illustrated with colorful photographs of maimed and dying children, in a bookstore near you....
While we are witnessing what appears to be a return to solid reporting in both Aftenposten and Verdens Gang, moribund Dagsavisen is still sniping away. Today, an interview with NORWAC doctor Mads Gilbert by journalist Espen Løkeland-Stai. Mads Gilbert’s piece is titled “One year since the bombing” and is a repetition of the accusations...
The article above, by Jørgen Eliassen on October 19th in 1985, summarizes a debate in communist daily Klasskampen. The title runs “KK-debate on Iran: From Marxism to Islam“. The white text in the black block says: “The main debaters have unquestionably been Trond Lindstad and Erik Fosse – they are the ones who have started...
NORWAC doctor Erik Fosse was stabbed yesterday while partaking in a rally in Gaza. He appears to have sustained a minor wound. Unauthorized translation from Aftenposten: – I take it as a sign of how desperate people are. They have cause to be dissatisfied with the west, he says. – Why do you think...
When prominent Norwegians such as Mads Gilbert compare Cast Lead to the Warsaw ghetto of WWII this contaminates the entire debate. Consequentially other people jump on the bandwagon, assuming that if popular heroes like Mr.Gilbert does it, “so can I”. Desperate Measures has picked up on one example of how this attitude comes into...
NRK tells us that Israel started the war on December 27th in 2008 and that this was a war on the ‘population’ of Gaza. NRK’s Sidsel Wold tells us that the problem consists of the Fatah-Hamas split and that the solution depends applying pressure to Israel, after which she interviews veteran pro-Palestinian activists Mads...
Russian Desperate Measures is keeping tabs on anti-Israel propaganda in contemporary Norway. They Russians know all too well what political extremists can do to a nation: В государстве Норвегия мирно проживает скромный (и явно недооценённый мировой общественностью) герой наших дней д-р Мадс Гильберт. Между тем, опубликованная им (совместно с Эриком Фоссе) книга “Øyne i Gaza”...
NORWAC doctors Mads Gilbert and Erik Fosse have written an entire book, “Eyes in Gaza”, richly illustrated with photographs, on how the IDF allegedly “deliberately targeted children” throughout the recent war in Gaza. The book is a best-seller and many Norwegians will have received it as a Christmas gift this year. Today the internet...
p.219, by Erik Fosse While talking to some other surgeons at the hosptial, all of which have worked and lived in Europe. “- Hamas controls Gaza now, and it is safe, said dr.Sobhi. – Erik, you have noe idea of how it was here in 2004 and 2005. It was complete anarchy. People were...
Eyes in Gaza page 168 “Most of the men we receive, are civilians. How I can know? On the few occasions when we do receive a fighter, Hamas’ intelligence of course comes and identifies (him). Yesterday there were one hundred percent civilians. We have still not seen a single western journalist here, but many very skilled...
Ask a Norwegian journalist about the Arab Media Lobby and you will be waiting a long time for an answer. Regardless, the AML has good words for the Stoltenberg government. Excerpt below, read more here: Norway’s fellow Europeans fall short of its moral clarity and political self-confidence, but nevertheless they are making small but...
Editor Jan Helin of Swedish Aftonbladet was only too happy to publish Donald Boström’s science fiction story about Israeli soldiers killing Palestinians in order to steal their organs. The same editor completely disregards real-life stories about organ trade involving destitute Palestinians selling their organs at flesh-markets in Jordan and Egypt. Why is this, one...
Doctors Mads Gilbert and Erik Fosse worked in Shifa hospital during the Gaza war, and also doubled as news reporters. After the war they proceeded to publish the best-selling book “Eyes of Gaza”, now in its fourth edition, in what with certainty must be deemed the most spectacular public relations endeavour to be carried...
Swedish Aftonbladet has been ignoring criticism of Boström’s article for a long time now. Jan Helin, editor of Sweden’s largest newspaper even refuses to reply – see letters from Andrea Levin on CAMERA or below. It is characteristic of the state of affairs in Norway, neighboring upon Sweden, that reactons are more visible in the Wall Street Journal See than...
The Norwegian trade journal “Ledelse og teknikk” (Leadership and technicalities) in supposed to cover just that, but often manages to slip in something on Palestine. In this years’ Christmas special there is a short article on the Israeli security fence (see above). The article covers a cooperation project involving a Norwegian union (Sosiale institusjoners...
The story of organ harvesting is boomeranging back, though not in anything resembling Boström’s infamous article in Swedish Aftonbladet, an article which he himself has distanced himself from. More here. An excerpt: The Channel 2 report said that in the 1990s, forensic specialists at Abu Kabir harvested skin, corneas, heart valves and bones from the...
What is going on over here? It appears it is a rather cutting commentary on Jakken Bjørn Lian, Norway’s ambassador to Israel, and his rather feeble duel with JCPA’s Manfred Gerstenfeld in the Jerusalem Post. Notice the picture of Kristin Halvorsen from the hate-fest of January 8th. Содержательный диспут состоялся на страницах газеты Jerusalem...
When Mads Gilbert wins hearts and minds in the Norwegian labor movement by talking about “horrible Israeli devil-machines”, it is just bound to make even foreigners curious. From Philosemitism: “Ainsi le son des machines diaboliques israéliennes – les drones – ne s’est jamais tu. C’était un violation claire de la loi internationale. Une force...
