		<description><![CDATA[Norwegian and Swedish newspapers are, based on the mutterings of an anonymous source, claiming that Israel&#8217;s embassy to Sweden is bribing Swedish cops with beer. Simply Jews reacts thus: No matter which way you look at it, it&#8217;s a scandal. We here, in the Elder&#8217;s Hasbarah sweatshop going blind over these ancient terminals, suffer from carpal syndrome, cerebral palsy and tennis elbow (where this one comes from I have no idea), and some cop (or blogger) in Norway or Sweden gets free beer? Fuck it, I quit. Let the Swedish cops blog for the Zionists. Basta. Kaput. linkscolor = "000000"; highlightscolor = "888888"; backgroundcolor = "FFFFFF"; channel = "none";]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[When it comes to subservience to dogma, Norwegian commissars are second to none. They are, in fact, unbeatable. Just the other week Nils Butenschøn, a former Palkom leader who rose to leadership with the vision of winning entire &#8220;organizations and parties for Palestine&#8221; hijacked a meeting on anti-Semitism. He managed to twist it into a presentation of the virtues of the Goldstone rapport, after which he showed the audience Yoav Shamir&#8217;s &#8220;Defamation&#8221;, which questions the existence of anti-Semitism in contemporary Europe. This kind of thing is normal here. AJP Taylor wouldn&#8217;t have stood for it, though. Old Taylor would have seen straight through all of you. You bet. AJP Taylor was a pundit of modern European history who, among other, penned &#8220;English History 1914-1945&#8243; in the Oxfor History of England series (Oxford University Press 1965).  The book is filled with the most delightful quote-worthy passages. Here are two for our Norwegian readers: Page 277: Passfield (the colonial secretary of the British mandate of Palestine) had made an awkward discovery. He had stumbled unwittingly on a question where the underlying philosophy of the British Labour, indeed of nearly all Englishmen, did not work. In Palestine, there was irreconcilable conflict between Arabs [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[The screenshot above is from the Aftenposten article This robot can replace the journalist. This is a highly dubious claim. Sure enough, according to the article this robot can take pictures, minutes and ask questions. But can it systematically indulge in the sort of pro-Palestinian bias which several surveys (Observer 2002, Observer 2004, Retriever 2009) has identified in the Norwegian press corps? Can the robojournalist replace for example Aftenposten journalist Lars Akerhaug,  the former leader of the Palestine-Committee who now covers Israel under headlines such as: &#8220;Right to admit Jew-critics&#8220;, &#8220;Threatens new invasion&#8220;, and &#8220;Beat Palestinian Children during interrogations&#8220;? Can the robojournalist replace NRK&#8217;s Sidsel Wold, who during a three-minute interview with Manfred Gerstenfeld, author of &#8220;Anti-Semitism in Norway&#8221;, lets him speak for only twenty seconds after which she hogs the rest of time for herself and concludes on completely new and unrelated topic? The table below shows the results of Retriever&#8217;s 2009 analysis of media bias. The number of pro-Palestinian articles is listed on the left, the pro-Israel articles on the right, with the objective articles numbered in between. No, the robojournalist has no future in the Norwegian press corps. It just does not have the imagination. ﻿﻿ linkscolor [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Iceland is popularly though to be populated by the descendants of Norwegians who refused to accept the teachings of Jesus Christ, son of God, opting out for the traditional ways and the ancient gods of Odin, Tyra and Tyr, etc. Actually though, the history of the island go a bit beyond this. Modern Iceland is an advanced society which has every right in the world to be sickened by the condescending tone Norwegians use when speaking of them. Iceland is also one of the very few societies which actually numbers fewer inhabitants than Norway does and needless to say, Norway bullies Iceland incessantly over fishery-rights. Now one Silfors Egils has written something about Jews, though exactly what he has written will remain a mystery until he deigns to translate or tell. Here is an excerpt: Koma Bobbys Fischer til Íslands hefur vakið upp nokkuð óvænta umræðu um gyðingahatur. Á sama tíma koma fimm íslenskir þingmenn úr ferð til Palestínu og birta mjög ófagrar lýsingar þaðan&#8230; Zíonisminn verður til undir lok 19. aldarinnar. Hugmyndin var sú að gyðingar skyldu snúa aftur til Zíons&#8230; um Stór-Ísrael sem á að ná yfir öll þau svæði sem eru tilgreind í Biblíunni&#8230; Finkelstein skoðar þá viðteknu [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[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&#8217;s neighbors as they are with Israel itself. In terms of psychological economy therefore, you are better of being an anti-Semite. Concentrate your anger in one place, yeah? Yoav Shamir&#8217;s movie &#8220;Defamation&#8221; has received quite a bit of attention. It got very favorable reviews in Verdens Gang and Dagbladet. Now the hero of the movie David Hirsh, who stands up for the Palestinians instead of just going on and on about the Holocaust, writes in the Guardian: &#8220;The truth is that it does not require courage at all to stand up and oppose Israeli human right abuses&#8221; and &#8220;I find it much more frightening to stand up for a democratic and genuinely liberational kind of criticism against the current British orthodoxy of casting Israel, and the Jews who support it, as uniquely and especially threatening&#8220;. So now people who disapproved of the movie to begin with at least like this Hirsh character, whereas people who really, really, really enjoyed the movie are going: &#8220;Who is this [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[During the debate on immigration in 2009 Dagbladet fronted Thomas Hylland Eriksen&#8217;s &#8220;immigrant quiz&#8221;, 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. Among those who took the quiz were Abid Q.Raja (Liberals), Mazyar Keshvari (Progress Party) og Akhtar Chaudry (Labor). Palestine-quiz Now that Foreign Minister Gahr Støre is preparing for a tour to the Middle East the NIJ blog finds it appropriate to launch a &#8220;Palestine quiz&#8221; for him. In order to illustrate the relation between knowledge and perspective we will use this quiz; part one, part two.  Just like Willy Amundsen (Progress Party) refrained from publicly partaking in Hylland&#8217;s &#8220;immigrant-quiz&#8221;, will Mr.Støre refrain from partaking in NIJ&#8217;s suggested &#8220;Palestine-quiz&#8221;? Here is a sample question from the quiz: 16. Israel has often been accused of “ethnic cleansing” of the Arabs in the “occupied territories”. The demography bears this out, because the Arab population of Judea, Samaria, and Gaza has: a) plummeted from 6,500,000 in 1967 to 3,000,000 in 2009; b) plummeted from an estimated 5,000,000 in 1967 to less than 2,000,000 in 2009; c) remained steady at 3,000,000, despite huge [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[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 are listening in with abandon. Below, an unauthorized translation from the column &#8220;70 years ago&#8221; on the back page of the oh-so-intellectual weekly Morgenbladet: SPIES ARE LISTENING Widespread espionage is being conducted in our land. Norwegians speak too much about issues on which they should be silent. One forgets that spies are listening everywhere. In busses and trams people are chattering away, oblivious to the fact that others are listening. At private parties talk is pursued with abandon. Each little piece of information is not so significant in itself, but when put together in centrals established for that purpose, agents of the war-faring nations receive valuable information. And we know the result: Our ships are being sunk. Unfortunately this warning is just as relevant today as it was 70 years ago. The Norsk code has indeed been cracked and foreigners are indeed listening in. Remember what happened to the [...]]]></description>

Actually, they are smearing Sweden too, even sinking to the depths of misusing&#8230;ABBA! Maybe the Israelis are also smearing the rest of Europe. The entire world, perhaps? Has not Mr. Bin Laden indicated this before? Thank goodness Mr.Butenschøn is organizing a fact-based series of seminars at prestigous NTNU this autumn, that should sort them out! This simply will not stand. Red-green government, where are you? Fix bayonets! These &#8220;funny&#8221; jews in Latma&#8217;s studio have got it all wrong if they think this is how they will win friends in Scandinavia! And how come they are not moping around, mourning the dead ON BOTH SIDES? Huh? Not to mention the war, how about some gratitude? Elbit wasn&#8217;t kicked out of the oil fund because it was Israeli (although in truth, Finance Minister Kristin Halvorsen had given word to especially scrutinize the Israeli companies) but because of ETHICAL REASONS!

		<description><![CDATA[Hilde Henriksen Waage is not the only Norwegian academic who believes in the power of the pro-Israel propaganda machine. In today&#8217;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 organizations and media. The articles in the Jerusalem Post about anti-Semitic Norway show us a propaganda machine going at full blast. Unfortunately, Norwegians who refer to the pro-Israel propaganda machine aren&#8217;t unique either. Middle East expert Hilde Henriksen Waage, the Palestine Committee, and the newspapers Klassekampen and Bergensavisa, which you can read extracts from here, share Professor Levin&#8217;s antipathy of this strange beast. The allegations of the pro-Israel propaganda would be far less interesting if the public was ever told exactly where this machine is, whom it is operated by or how it can be any measure can be called a success. Here is NIJ&#8217;s take on how the propaganda machine might work: TEL AVIV Ministry of Truth: Manfred is sitting at his desk. Spitzer and Fagin enter the room. Manfred (looks up): What the fuck do you guys want? Spitzer: Just messing around, I guess. Manfred: [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[A friend of mine needs is interested in the Middle East and I&#8217;m trying to convince him to read Benny Morris, but he won&#8217;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 of reading a proper book and reassessing the validity of his arguments, he just sticks to what he has read in the newspapers and that&#8217;s it. He&#8217;s done learning, it seems. Now newspapers are ok but for deeper understanding we need the books and at times I despair of humanity and it looks like the voice of reason will always be but a shrill distraction in this godless void we call home. But there is no sin like the sin of despair. As Clausowitch writes in his classic &#8220;On War&#8221;, the will to win is the decisive factor of any conflict . You absolutely, definitely must steel yourself to succeed. General Giap of North Vietnam once said something very much to the same effect when asked how he possibly could have beaten the USA.  Unless you are possessed by truly unique warrior spirit however, there is no point in trying if you absolutely can&#8217;t win. Since most people [...]]]></description>
