    This keeps happening. Blogs in foreign languages hook up. The reason is not that people necessarily are all that interested in Norway, or that NIJ is such a fantastic blog people just cannot stay away, but rather that people all across the world are starting to recognize the international obsession with Israel for what it [...] […]

Anti-Semitism in Malmö obvious to entire world - except Norway

Skånskan, a regional Swedish newspaper

The screenshot above is from Skånskan, a Swedish newspaper, and lists the articles that newspaper has published on anti-Semitism in Malmö. There is quite a few of them. Blogger Ilya Meyer lists foreign media which are covering the situation;  The Local, Jerusalem Post, Haaretz, 5T Jewish Times , CFCA, WJC, YNet, Pravda, Islam Online, AOL, EAJC, UJF, CBN, Le Monde.

But not Norway.

That is, the Norwegian media is publishing stories on Norwegian author Karl Over Knausgård who resides in Malmö whilst completing his six-volume work titled “Min Kamp”. One would think that this title alone would make Norwegian editors sharpen their ears. But as for anti-Semitism in Malmö, oh no.There are two main reasons for this:

1) The Progress Party identified Malmö as a hotbed of extremism and an example of failed integration for an entire year ago. For this they were severely lambasted by the Norwegian establishment, to the extent that they were compared to the Nazi-party of Adolf Hitler. Giving attention to Malmö now would prove the Progress Party right, which one rather tries to avoid. Oh yes, one does indeed.

2) Identifying anti-Semitism in imigrant muslims in Sweden might encourage Islamophobia and make the left-of-centre look bad.

And Akersgata doesn’t want that, does it?
