The Tablet – “A new read on Jewish Life” – runs an interesting piece by Asgeir Ueland titled Oslo Discord. Ueland observes that Norway has shifted from being staunch supporters of Israel to a pro-Palestinian stance, and attempts to identify how this change has come about. In an interview with the well-known Israel-critic Lars Gule, [...]
For better and for worse, Norway is accustomed to being so far away from the rest of the world that most of the time they do not even know we are there. When a post from this blog is translated into French in just a few hours, this may be indicative of a situation where [...]
It appears that Midtstuen is not the only Spanish-speaking blog showing an interest in Eirik Eiglad’s book “The anti-Jewish riots in Oslo”.

Eirik Eiglad’s book “The anti-Jewish riots in Oslo” is arousing interest in France. Although we have yet to see this interest translate into sales, this is a promising start.
As mentioned earlier the sites Philosemitism and JUIF.org have published on Eiglad’s book. Now Union des Patrones et des Professionnels Juifs des France and Debriefing.org, both with [...]
Eirik Eiglad’s “The anti-Jewish riots in Oslo” was reviewed by Aftenposten’s Knut Olav Åmås on February 17th. Although Aftenposten was the first Norwegian newspaper to cover the book, it had at the time already been commented upon by Dutch, Finnish, Belgian, Spanish and US blogs. And now we find that on 17th – the very [...]

Mohammad says that “we had not stood here today unless Islamic Council had failed us” .
It was an uncomfortable reminder: [...]

It draws attention when a small Norwegian party official discovers that 40 percent of the party’s problems lies in not being critical enough of Israel. Ms.Inger Lise Hansen, the official in question, has since stated that she is a friend of Israel. This is probably true, and perhaps the conservatives of the Christian Democrats could [...]
Posted on Philosemitism and Juif.org:
Le quotidien Aftenposten a publié un article (consultable sur lesite du journal) sur les raisons pour lesquelles l’ambassade d’Israël à Oslo est obligée de quitter l’immeuble qu’elle occupe au Parkveien (Avenue du Parc) et de chercher à se loger ailleurs. Ont-ils fait quelque chose de répréhensible ? Mais pas du tout. Le problème est qu’on continue à [...]
Y-net news.com reports on the boycott-debate at Bergen University, which might or might not be about to rear its ugly head. The situation is still unclear.Where has Y-net learned what and are their sources better than ours? After what happened at NTNU, where a boycott proposal somehow slipped onto the board’s agenda and was only [...]
In terms of covering Norway the Belgium-based blog Philosemitisme is now ahead of NIJ. In a recent post Philosemitisme refers to an article in Aftenposten by Knut Olav Åmås:
“Boycott académique d’Israël ? M. Knut Olav Åmås, rédacteur culturel et des débats d’Aftenposten, écrit un commentaire sur l’éventualité d’un boycott académique d’Israël par des institutions d’enseignement [...]

NORWAC doctors Mads Gilbert and Erik Fosse have made quite an impact with their bestselling book “Eyes in Gaza”, in which they claim that Israel’s target in the recent Gaza-war was not Hamas, but the civilian population. Not everyone is convinced they are telling the truth though.
From Philosemitism:
“Les Dr. Mads Gilbert et Erik Fosse ont [...]
