The establishment ignores not only Document.no’s Hans Rustad, but the issues that he deals with. This is hugely unfortunate. An excerpt from The Jews are again the canary-birds:
It is true: Jews are leaving Malmö and many are leaving Sweden. They dare not live there, first and foremost out of consideration to their children. The image of two Jews sitting in a Jewish community-centre raises memories: they are cloaked in the same despondency we remember from pre-war Germany. They feel abandoned and betrayed. That is why they are leaving.
This betrayal 75 years after the war beggars belief. It gives the word “unfathomable” a new meaning. Walter Laqueur wrote the book “The unfathomable proved true”. Then it was the Endlösnung which was unfathomable. In truth. All the way up to the gates of Auschwitz this was unfathomable. Today the Jews are again at risk, in the midst of our liberal democracies, and they feel so threatened that they must leave Nordic social-democracies. Is it because there is something special about the Jews, is it the circumstances, of which no man is fully master? He who chooses to can find many explanations.
Norway is where the Israeli embassy is “assisted” in relocating to a venue where attacks on it are less of an eyesore, a country whose Foreign Minster is tough on Israel but kow-tows for the authoritarian slave-owning sheikhs of UAE, a country whose Finance Minister marches under a placard saying “USA and Israel greatest axis of evil”, a country where the police glosses over the ugly nature of the riots on January 8th, where the newspapers have the audacity to ignore nearby Malmö while telling their readers of how the Israeli army is purchasing socks. Norway has become a country which is unable even of getting rid of Mulla Krekar who preaches jihad in our midst. It is not Israel which has anything to fear from such a nation’s government.
It is her population.

Only about 1,300 Jews live in Norway, but because of the tensions and the current events in the Middle East, they are at risk of being attacked.
Sadly I am not surprised that there have been repurcussions in Norway. Anyone who has read Bruce Bawer’s book, “While Europe Slept” will be familiar with his experiences of Norwegian attitudes to Jews.

Curiously, Spanish journalist, pro-Israeli and philo-Semite activist and former politician Pilar Rahola, has commented on the issue of Malmö’s Jews in an article titled “The agony of the canary-bird” (in Spanish, if you want I’ll provide a translation):

The situation of Malmö’s Jews has been mostly ignored by the Spanish media.
Great stuff Midskogen.
