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: “But surely this is not islamism? We find no ideological consciousness”. This is correct, but contemporary demonstrations have become “events”. Gaza becomes an excuse, the media deliver the visuals which are strong enough to legitimize anything. When Stavanger Aftenblad prints the picture of the girl’s hand and the little head lying in the ruins, this nutures the hatred. Gaza grows, with every article and every picture. Gaza becomes a balloon, steadily inlfating. Is this not worse than the Warsaw-ghetto, as Mads Gilbert said, live from Gaza.
Cities in Western Europe have received a large contingent of youth who feels entitled to smash the city whenever “somethings up”, and the left is reduced to indignation, to understand and to pity, to justify almost anything.
Oslo on January 8th 2010 was thus an omen. There will be more and worse. January 8th ought to have made us open our eyes and ask: what the heck is going on? But this did not happen.
Stanghelle’s concerns are therefore not believable. If he had meant anything with his concerns he would have used the newspaper to document that Jewhatred is spreading thoughout Europe. It wins its way and acceptance.
The circle has been joined: muslims arrive in Europe and bring Jewhatred with them. If Europe meant business with her committment, Europeans would strive for being balanced in the Middle East. But this is not happening. To the contrary. Foreign Minister Jonas Gahr Støre has on behalf of Norway taken many steps towards Hamas and is chilly towords Israel.
During his visit to Israel in January he said that certain forces in Insrael were waging a campaign against Noway. With regards to his endorsement of Gilbert and Fosse’s book, he had simply praised them for what they saw and experienced!
“There are references to anti-Israel sentiments in the Israeli press, and I see part of that as a campaign, which is being organized and orchestrated from circles who point out enemies of Israel [in Norway],” Store told Haaretz during a visit to Jerusalem on Monday. He refused to speculate who he thinks is behind the campaign.Rejecting criticism over his contribution to the back cover of the controversial book, Store said he merely applauded the authors for speaking up about what they saw, without judging the validity of their conclusions. In the book, which contains eyewitness testimony by two Norwegian physicians in Gaza during Cast Lead, the physicians, Mads Gilbert and Erik Fosse, accused Israel of perpetrating a “systematically implemented and comprehensive massacre.”
“What I said was that during the Gaza war, all independent press was closed out and that when there is no coverage, the first victim is the truth,” Store said. “I believe that these doctors … reported what they saw. I believe that was important.”To say that Gilbert and Fosse were representatives of the independent press and only reported what they say, is audacious. The man who provides them with this acclaim is the same man who financed their mission.
Gahr Støre insists on his decency, and is provoked if anyone questions it. But he appears to regard it the same way he regards his suit: if it fits well, is ironed, etc. For Gahr Støre it is all about keeping up the pretence, about not being caught red-handed.
Document.no writes in the same article about how Mr.Eiglad has been interviewed on Dagsnytt 18, a radio and television show. That’s good news.
On the other hand Sweden, Israel and the Jews is relaying bad news out of neighbouring Sweden – an Anti-Zionist Party has been formed. As Document.no correctly points out, anti-Israelism has merged with anti-Semitism and we see it from Reykjavik in Iceland to Malmö in Sweden and beyond.
Whoever you are and whatever it is that you are doing, stay beutiful and keep up the good fight.
