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 [...] […]

Hero of Shamir's ´Defamation´:

Many people hold no quarrel with Jews as a people, but reserve the right to be extraordinarily upset over Israel politics. People who truly have no issue with the Jews are as angry with Israel’s neighbors as they are with Israel itself.

In terms of psychological economy therefore, you are better of being an [...]

A Palestine-quiz for Jonas Gahr Støre

Mr.Støre – Picture from Norway MFA

During the debate on immigration in 2009 Dagbladet fronted Thomas Hylland Eriksen’s “immigrant quiz”, and some said that if you did not score more than six (out of ten) right, then your knowledge about matters of immigration was too low for you to speak your mind about immigration.

Code cracked - spies listening everywhere

Loose lips sink ships

Until quite recently the more ludicrous aspects of the Norwegian debate on the Middle East were a closely kept national secret, shared only by the select few who mastered Norsk, a code originally developed by the Bavarian Illuminati. Now it appears that the code has been broken and that code-cracking foreigners [...]

The propaganda machine

Hilde Henriksen Waage is not the only Norwegian academic who believes in the power of the pro-Israel propaganda machine. In today’s Adresseavisa, a daily focusing on the Trondheim area, Professor Morten Levin writes:

The attacks against Rita Ottervik and Håkon Gullvåg are not unique. Such attacks are part of the daily amount of propaganda issued by pro-Israel [...]

Drowning rats, the hearts of men and BOLD goals

Greg Kolodziejzyk does it again!

A friend of mine needs is interested in the Middle East and I’m trying to convince him to read Benny Morris, but he won’t. Benny Morris does not make for easy reading unless you are a trained historian and my friend has neither the aptitude nor the time, so instead [...]
