See examples of how prominent Norwegians make themselves guilty of Holocaust distortion.

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.

‘Churchill not significantly different from Hitler’

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 [...]

NRK’s Gro Holm: ‘Palestinians paying price for Holocaust’

admin — Sat, 20 Mar 2010 20:15:34 +0000

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 [...]

‘Jews themselves wrote lists of whom were to die in concentration camps’

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 [...]

Christian Democrats: “Horrible of Hamas to deny the Holocaust”

admin — Wed, 02 Sep 2009 22:08:12 +0000

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 [...]

Norway, UNRWA and Holocaust denial

admin — Tue, 01 Sep 2009 16:57:47 +0000

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?

Unfortunately this is true. [...]
