Norway, Israel and the Jews
Creating a closed eco-system is the holy grail of space exploration. Nothing goes out, nothing goes in, everything remains in a perpetual loop. Astronaut urine recycled into drinking water is, by virtue of the mere mention of a bodily fluid, perhaps the most famous. The BDS movement works in a similar way. March 30th...

NRK seldom, if ever, raises questions over the red-green coalition government’s Middle-East policies. It appears that if Labor wants it, that’s just fine for NRK. While an array of Norwegian media channels are reporting on the Lieberman/citizenship story, not a single one is reporting on how US and Israeli newspapers are commenting on Norway’s...
We had given up hope! Yet here it is, an article in Dagbladet letting Alan Dershowitz present his side of the story of how his offers of free lectures were rejected at Norwegian universities.

Wenche Foss is dead. Wenche Foss (1917-2011) was the unparalleled star of the Norwegian theatre stage for decades. Aftenposten’s front page says: “The end of an era”. Will Norway enjoy as much peace and prosperity in the era to come, as we have in the era that was? One can always hope. linkscolor =...
If Oslo cannot fix Oslo, how can we have the audacity to claim to be able to fix Jerusalem? Today politico Abid Q.Raja (Liberals) claims that the Grorud valley is a ticking ethnic time-bomb. True, the good Raja has an election to win and he is playing the immigrant-politico-knows-the-score card for all its worth....
Professor of Semiotics Ugo Volli, at the University of Turin, has written a piece on Norway, Quisling and Mathisen in the Informazione Corretta.

Alan Dershowitz has an article in the Wall Street Journal about his recent visit to Norway. The article is titled “Norway to Jews: You are not welcome here“. Excerpt: I recently completed a tour of Norwegian universities, where I spoke about international law as applied to the Israeli-Palestinian conflict. But the tour nearly never...
The sun never sets on Norwegian anti-Israel activism. There is always something in the pipeline. Now, on the heels of a holocaust-denying Labor politico and the scandalous reception of Harvard professor Alan Dershowitz, we learn that a movie has been made about pro-Palestinian activist Mads Gilbert. The VG article “Mads Gilbert (63) let’s himself...

We Norwegians are often told of how dialogue is a good thing. This is what our masters tell us. Yet when it comes to Israel, dialogue is no good at all. When it comes to Israel, only bashing will do. Colllive.com is yet another site to pick up how Harvard professor Alan Dershowitz was...
The Norwegian establishment appears to believe that “dialogue” means Israel-bashing. Italian Informazione Corretta seems to disagree.

Again and again and again. The article in...

Harvard professor Alan Dershowitz recently visited Norway and was less than impressed with the manner in which he was received and the level of debate he was met with. The Norwegian establishment, of course, just scoffs it off. “Norway is righteous” they will claim. “We will not be intimidated by Israeli propaganda!” they will...
The Jerusalem Post, which Aftenposten editor Harald Stanghelle claims is a right-wing rag way past its prime, has an article on the Holocaust-denying Labor politico Anders Mathisen.
