RSS Norway, Israel and the Jews

  • Document.no: Pogroms in Oslo
    Document.no is more than a blog, it is a community. Whatsmore it is intelligent, well-mannered and subsequently growing, which makes a lot of people somewhat worried. Document.no now offers a lengthy post on Norwegian author Eirik Eiglad’s book “The anti-jewish riots in Oslo”. Unauthorized translation from Pogroms in Oslo: Researchers and the police can say: […]
  • 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. Unauthorized translation: We believe that the Bishops ought to bury the though of a boycott of trade as soon as possible. They receive the [...] […]
  • 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 […]

Book: The Anti-Jewish Riots in Oslo

A new book on the riots of January 2009 is out. “The anti-jewish riots in Oslo” is written by Eirik Eiglad. Mr.Eiglad runs the journal Communalism, which defines its purpose as providing “a forum for the exposition of Communalism as a viable political alternative”.

I have just started dipping into the book and it looks promising. Mr.Eiglad was present at all the major demonstrations occurring within the selected timespan, and has both a shrewd eye and a reasonably clear head. Interesting to see that he is a “leftie” who admits to having participated in street fights with the AFA. In Norway, AFA used to operate out of Blitz. This is yet another nail in the coffin of FM Støre’s theory of all accusations of anti-Semitism in Norway being the product of a smear campaign run by right-wingers in Israel.

The book is available on Amazon as well as in the Oslo-bookstore Tronsmo. You can also order the book directly from Communalism.
