- Gutting Israel over its embassyNorwegian media continue to make a feast out of Israel’s difficulties in finding a suitable venue for its embassy, which both takes security concerns and costs into consideration. Maybe we shall remind the ironic commentators that there is a very good reason why Israel is particularly sensitive with regards to security; its embassy was blown to bits in Bueno […]
- ooopsy,that’s the Nobel price taken off our hands then…Some of you may remember an entry from December last year, at a time when Norway had suffered several set-backs reputation wise. A substantial part of that entry was dedicated to an oped by the great grandson of Alfred Nobel, who charged that the Norwegian Nobel committee does not fulfill its obligations under the Alfred Nobel Testament: He says that the Nor […]
- The Embarrassing Embassy story…As Kafka says, Norway isn’t very keen on being a good host – but then I suppose Norway is very happy with the arrangement for our own embassy in Tel Aviv, situated on top of a fancy shopping center in very upmarket part of town, where security is taken well care of by shopping center and local police. Maybe the Israelis are just that much better in providing […]
- Norwegian hospitality to Israel: Suffer bitch!Almost as certain as death and taxes, NRK will not let any opportunity pass by to portray Jews as victims or Israelis as whiners. NRK Østlandssendingen headlines a piece with “The Israeli embassy feels discriminated,” and goes on to cover the Israeli embassy’s alleged whining over not being able to find a suitable location for its embassy. NRK makes its best […]
- Aftenposten allows anti-Semitic commentsAftenposten today published an oped by Martin Bodd, a descendant of Holocaust survivors, responding to a proposal by Aftenposten’s editor for culture and debate Knut Olav Åmås to name a square after one of the Jewish children we sent off to an early and cruel death in Auschwitz in 1942. The talkbacks to this oped are horrific, demonstrating once more that it […]
- The product of a rotting mindDagsavisens forum for polite debate can from time to time look surprisingly like the inside of the head of a person with very unstable hormones, or perhaps neurons like over-ripe camembert cheese. Or, like a grotty catacomb where no air has circulated for centuries. It is probably a style thing; to be oddly out of touch – passé, where they want to be progres […]
- Frightened Norwegian shooters stay at homeI wonder if the powers that be in Norway have put similar travel warnings in place for anybody going to Sweden, specifically to Malmø? Norway Says Israel Dangerous, Won’t Allow Shooting Team to Visit Norway’s security authorities rule that Israel is dangerous, the country’s national shooting team cancels its trip to Israel next month. Elad Benari Norway’s se […]

- Fjordman hits backTERRORISM AND GENUFLEXION Verdens Gang 2012 02 17 p 27, Peder Nøstvold Jensen, a.k.a “Fjordman”. Not Online Author Øyvind Strømmen has been referred to by the media as an expert post 22/7; though it is rather vague what he is supposed to be an expert in. Strømmen took part in the Labor party’s seminar on extremism in January of 2012 in the company of Harald […]

The Utøya massacre: the terrorist ABB was psychotic, suffering from paranoid schizophrenia, when he slaughtered the youth at Utøya
I have consistently steered clear of discussing the 22/7 tragedy here, not wanting to create an impression – or perhaps, reinforce the imagined impression among some of the anti-Israeli crowd – that there is any kind of relationship between the horrible madness of ABB on the one side, and Israel on the other (you...
Støre calls Israel’s retention of PA tax after breach of Oslo accords “water boarding of economy”, but is mum on Syria torture
Our FM Støre made head lines around the world last week, when he accused Israel of water boarding the PA economy in response to the PA’s unilateral actions at the UN, in contravention of the Oslo agreement. Yesterday, a UN report concluded that The substantial body of evidence gathered by the commission indicates that...

What will Støre say now?

Klassekampen – The only Norwegian newspaper commemorating the horrors of November 26, 1942.
As far as I have been able to verify, ultra leftist and anti-Israeli newspaper Klassekampen, is the only Norwegian newspaper that has commemorated the horrible events of November 26, 1942. Their article is very welcome, as it not only reminds us of past horrors, but questions why Norwegian researchers and academic institutions have failed...
Norway gives Israel a cold shoulder over off shore petroleum industry
The technical journal, Teknisk ukeblad brings us this story on how Norway has rebuffed Israel over its request to send a delegation to Norway to learn more about the Norwegian oil development model After the discovery of large quantities of gas in sea off Israel last year, the country has been eager to exploit its hydrocarbon industry. Earlier this year, the Israeli embassy in Oslo requested...
The fallout from Støre’s water boarding remarks
Many people chocked on their afternoon coffee by Støre’s fierce attack on Israel for withholding PA tax money. In what can only be described as an unprecedented reaction by the Israeli foreign ministry, diplomats who mettle in the ME conflict, politicians and pundits will recognize this as a severe diplomatic scolding and offer Støre...

November 26 1942 – Norwegian Jews deported from Norway; November 26 2011, Norwegian boycott movement to target Israeli products in supermarkets.
As one reader commented yesterday, the “international BDS day” on November 26, does not seem like a randomly selected date. Officially, but perhaps only as some sort of paper exercise, Norway recognizes the enormous betrayal of our Jews: Tale/artikkel, 22.09.2011 Av: Utenriksminister Jonas Gahr Støre Stumbling to Remember Kronikk i Yedioth Ahronoth (Israel), 22. september...

It will be interesting to see whether aspiring political leaders will take part in this event – the FB page...
Finn Graff’s cartoons came home to roost
In relation with the release of Gilad Shalit from unlawful kidnapping in Gaza, more than 1000 Palestinian terrorists, many with lots of blood on their hands, Norwegian cartoonist Finn Graff found no better way to celebrate the fact than to draw an anti-Semitic cartoon. At the time, Mr. Graff and (former) editor in chief...
Were the Jews of an inferior value after all?

Harper, has written an oped published in...
The hypocrite lawyer
Pål Hadler, who filed a war crime’s complaint against Israel after the 2009 bombing of Gaza, is a retired attorney who on his spare time, which we must presume he has plenty of, worries primarily about the fate of Palestinian children. A fully laudable undertaking, were it not for his unambiguous hypocrisy. Hadler has written...
Israelis mistrust Norwegians
As an apropos to the previous entry, Ouch, Norway put on the spot – which DeBacle very correctly has criticized for its factual mistakes, Vårt Land has picked up on the story that Israelis mistrust Norwegians. In an article not online, the significance of the poll that found Norways standing among Israelis at a...

Gunnar Stålsett, the bishop who regretted having awarded Shimon Peres (Shimon Peres! You really cannot find a more docile man than him!) the Nobel peace price, has been proposed as vice representative to the Nobel Price Committee. Let me put it like this, a couple of days ago, guest writer Bell Martin wrote a...
Ouch! Norway put on the spot….
Not exactly news, but nevertheless a punch in the teeth for our national failure to rein in leftists with an anti-Israeli propaganda… When academic institutions allow anti-Semites a free rant, while denying pro-Israeli voices the opportunity to provide a more balanced picture, and ministers participate in anti-Israel rallies that end up trashing our capital,...
Gerstenfeld: Essay on anti-Israelism and anti-Semitism in Western schools
Dr. Manfred Gerstenfeld has published an extensive essay on anti-Israelism and anti-Semitism in Western schools. It is well researched and well documented and gives concrete examples from various countries in Europe. Below I have copied in some selected examples from Norway.
