And the Nominee for Norwegian Media Victim of the Year Is…
Dr. Manfred Gerstenfeld
So unbridled is [...]
An illustration of the "Thuggee cult", from Max Bachmeier
The Christian daily Idag today reports that NRK’s new interview with Gerstenfeld stands up to scrutiny. As opposed to the previous one, in which journalist not only asked the questions, but also made up the answers. Sadly, the new NRK interview does not let Gerstenfeld speak [...]
In Norway, Gerstenfeld is known for statements he has never made
Aftenposten’s Harald Stanghelle has called him “a blinded fanatic”. NRK’s Sidsel Wold has called him a “Norway-hater”. NTB has called him an “aging, right-wing Israeli”. He is known throughout Scandinavia for statements he has never made and beliefs he has never harbored. [...]

April 30th: Editor of Norge.IDAG Bjarte Ystebø points out how Norwegian journalists in the mainstream media are disregarding how NRK’s correspondent to Jerusalem, Sidsel Wold, appears to have fabricated an interview with Israeli academic Manfred Gerstenfeld. This is particularly evident as the details of the case unfolds. Unauthorized translation:
NRK journalist Sidsel [...]
“Anti-Semitism” in Norway is the most recent, most comprehensive and well-documented work on contemporary anti-Semitism in Norway on the market today.
Anti-Semitism in Norway
The recently published book ”Anti-Semitism in Norway” includes updated and translated chapters from “Behind the Humanitarian Mask” (2008). Both are edited by Israeli academic Manfred Gerstenfeld, an accomplished author and business [...]
Graphic from Tundra Tabloids
Finnish Tundra Tabloids has referred to Sidsel Wold’s interview with Manfred Gerstenfeld, where the former answers her own questions and the latter only gets to speak for twenty seconds, as a”spike in high profile instances of ridiculous journalistic tomfoolery“. This is perhaps a bit strict.
Sidsel Wold might very well be speaking the [...]

Israeli academic Manfred Gerstenfeld has written extensively on anti-Semitism and anti-Zionism in the Nordic countries. He suggests that we have not really got a level playing-field up here, and that arguments explaining Israel’s actions are obfuscated or ignored while the Palestinian cause is doted upon. Now recently Sidsel Wold, a journalist [...]
NRK journalist Tormod Strand has uncovered anti-Semitism among Norwegian muslims. This has attracted a lot of attention. People are nodding their heads saying “Yes, the muslims, fierce anti-Semites, ikke sant…”
Now DagenMagazinet reports that Israeli academic Manfred Gerstenfeld, editor of the book on Nordic anti-Semitism Behind the Humanitarian Mask, is claiming that Norwegian Jews [...]

Mr.Kjetil Wiedswang is no fool. A prominent and respected Norwegian journalist in the employ of Dagens Næringsliv, a well-reputed business daily, he can often seize the attention of the country’s elites (read more by Mr.Wiedswang here and here). On October 24th this weekend he [...]
Haaretz notifies us that Israel’s Foreign Minister Avigdor Lieberman is critisizing Norway. This puzzles some Norwegians while it makes other Norwegians extremely angry. The puzzled go: “What, Hamsun again? We’ve discussed him all our lives?” The angry go… well, go and read Aftenposten or have a look at our favorite Haaretz talkback:
If Lieberman knew just [...]
Knut Hamsun, 1859-1952
Norwegian author Knut Hamsun won the Nobel prize for litterature in 1920. He suffered terribly throughout his childhood, and grew up on tales of the starvation the English blockade had caused during the Napoleonic wars. He was often sick and always destitute and at times suicidal. He went to America – twice – [...]
Minister of Finance Kristin Halvorsen from the Socialist Left (SV) protesting on January 8th. The sign to the right says: "Evil's two axis USA and Israel"
Aggression and violence does have its own, wicked charm. Everyone who has once enjoyed the feel of testosterone and adrenalin surging through his veins can testify to the “pull” [...]
Norway is a small nation. Only approximately 3 percent of the world’s population knows Norway exists at all. Now, Norway is learning the hard way that all PR is not good PR. Acts of anti-Semitism, unchecked Israelbashing and the arrogance of our chattering classes has started to provide Norway with the sort of international attention [...]
TV2's original article by Fredrik Græsvik, over which Manfred Gerstenfeld took TV2 to the PFU media complaints
Something very strange has recently happened. The article above, which is based on an interview, has been switched for the article below in a non-event most people will not even notice. Except for one thing: TV2′s original [...]
Here’s one piece of news from late March which escaped us at the time. Source. Taking into consideration the upcoming Græsvik vs. Gerstenfeld PFU hearing, it is still of interest today.
