Muslim offer Intifada against anti-Semitism
The Palestine-lobby is facing a problem. Anti-Semitism in Norwegian schools has become too obvious a problem to ignore. But it is difficult to handle since the perpetrators are mainly muslim students and people are recognizing that the boundaries between anti-Zionism and anti-Semitism are blurred. So the anti-Israel, pro-Palestinian crowd is facing a problem […]
Anti-Semitism is Norwegian problem, not ‘muslim-problem’
There is a lot of focus on muslim anti-Semitism right now, and rightly so. As NRK’s Tormod Strand has disclosed, muslim children have brought anti-Semitism back into the Norwegian schools. Yet Kristin Halvorsen of the Socialist Left has a point when she says anti-Semitism is not a “muslim-problem” but a “Norwegian problem”. Anti-Semitism in Norway goes [...] […]

Klassekampen – the anatomy of deceit
Klassekampen article claiming NRK's broadacst exaggerates the problem of anti-Semitism in the schools Often you will not read an entire article. Often you will merely glance at the heading and first paragraphs. Journalists know this, and structure their articles so you read the most important parts first. Except for when the journalist does not have [.. […]
Aftenposten journalist is Palestine-activist
Aftenposten: "Beat Palestinian children during interrogations" On March 15th Norway’s second largest newspaper Aftenposten published an editorial on the importance of combatting anti-Semitism.

Anniken Huitfelt in Dagbladet, April 17th 2009 Following NRK journalist Tormod Strand’s program on anti-Semitism in Norwegian schools, the media is all over the issue. But this is not new. Anti-Semitism in the schools was a big issue almost exactly one year ago as well. The news is that even the problem was known, it [...] […]

The Holocaust and the Baltics

The Baltic countries (Estonia, Lithuania and Latvia) were once part of Sweden and until quite recently had Swedish-speaking minorities. Culturally and historically they are far more attached to the west than their geographic location entails.

Sadly it appears that the Baltic countries now are experiencing Holocaust obfuscation and revision. Keep track of events on the website [...]

ECI asked to take the lead in securing separate portfolio for anti-Semitism in the new European Commission

Norway is not part of the European Union. Exactly why this is the case there is little consensus, but we can observe that proponents of EU membership live in the densely populated areas of the south-east. Resistence to joining is fierce in the socalled districts, sparsely populated regions distributed throughout the realm. But if Norway [...]
