October 26th 1941. In certain circles of Norwegians, Holocaust inversion is seen as quite acceptable. Such inversion is only possible when one is unfamiliar with the facts of the Holocaust. See examples of how prominent Norwegians make themselves guilty of Holocaust distortion. The picture above is of Masha Bruskina, a 17-year old [...]
Screenshot from Nettavisen The illiterate and ill-read find it acceptable to compare the terms of Muslims in contemporary Norway with anti-Semitism in thirties Europe, which led to the Holocaust. It is to this crowd that Norwegian Lars Gule, academic and former terrorist, now appeals. Nettavisen today reports in the article “Researcher creates [...] Was Theresienstadt what Gudmund Hernes has in mind when he says Gaza is a concentration camp? Gudmund Hernes is a researcher at FAFO and a professor at BI, a Norwegian business school. He is furthermore a Labor party icon. In Morgenbladet July 30th Gudmund Hernes writes a scathing review of a commentary by Aftenposten’s Jan E.Hansen. [...] Stian Bromark is a Norwegian author and journalist. In the weekly Ny Tid of July 9th 2010, Bromark comments on Giblert Achcar’s book “The Arabs and the Holocaust” on the competition between narratives. Bromark writes: “Holocaust is not as large a trauma as it is in Europe, and thereby there is less knowledge. The consequence is [...] Screenshot from Morgenbladet, July 2010 The screenshot above is from Trond Berg Eriksen’s review of Nicholson Baker’s “Menneskerøyk” (Norwegian translation) in Morgenbladet. The review is fair enough except at times it is difficult to understand whether Eriksen is endorsing Baker’s stance or merely sketching out the book’s contents. This becomes especially important in a section [...] Screenshot from MIFF The screenshot above is of an op-ed titled “Israel state of evil” written by Jan Christian Häckert and published in Fredrikstad Blad. While it is not available on the internet you can read it about it on MIFF’s website. MIFF comments (unauthorized translation): Jan Christian Häckert claims that “Israel is the state of [...] NRK (State Broadcasting) journalist Gro Holm claims that the Palestinians are paying the price for the Holocaust. This is very silly of her. The entire world knows that the Jews payed the price for the Holocaust. But then again, the entire world does not work at NRK. Sidsel Wold does however, and she probably agrees [...] As a young boy Arfan Q. Bhatti was diagnosed as suffering from an anti-social personality disorder. As a young man he ventured into a life of crime which reached its high mark when he opened fire on the Oslo synagogue in 2006. Mr.Bhatti has previously said that he supports the death penalty against homosexuals and [...] The University of Oslo wants to fire a history professor – appearently for having violated its health, environment and safety (HES) code. Protesters say this has nothing to do with HES and everything to do with the Univeristy curtailing the freedom of expression of its staff. One of the protestors is Professor of Law Jan [...] The Russel Tribunal for Palestine is supported by among other Ilan Pappe, Ken Loach and John Pilger. There is also a Norwegian onboard, Mr. Johan Galtung – above behind the rostrum at what appears to be a Turkish university. Below you see a section from a transcript from his lecture, where Mr.Galtung identifies Israel’s policies [...] Robin Shepherd, formerly of The Royal Institute of International Affairs in London, at present Director of International Affairs at Henry Jackson Society, has won acclaim for his most recent book A state beyond the pale, Europe’s problem with Israel. The book is 300 pages long and poses and in part answers questions such as: Why [...] The red-green government has been a staunch supporter of the PA, Hamas and the UNRWA. Yet when it is revealed that Hamas rejects tuition on the Holocaust in Gaza-schools, the red-green government is silent. Perhaps Norwegians should take the criticism from Sri Lanka to heart – perhaps Solheim the Silent is indeed a fitting nickname [...] This year Norway heads the ITF for Holocaust Remembrance. Norway is also one of UNRWA’s largest sponsors, which do not teach about the Holcaust in their Gaza-schools. Why? Hamas won’t allow it. From UNRWA's website Perhaps Erik Solheim should pop over to Gaza and lay down the law? linkscolor = “000000″; highlightscolor = “888888″; [...] The Norwegian ITF chairmanship commenced on 17 March 2009. Yet on the streets of Oslo we see nothing of it. On the webpages of the Norwegian Embassy in Israel, Foreign Minister Jonas Gahr Støre is quoted as saying “The mentalities and stereotypes that led to the Holocaust have not gone away“. Unfortunately this is true. [...] Here is a journal which NIJ is not familiar with yet, but which just might turn out alright. A journal offering a ”critical discussion of philosopher Ragnar Næss and his authority in Norwegian public and academic circles on the topic of the Armenian Genocide” can’t be all bad.
