Senator Brownback´s letter to the Norwegian ambassador to Washington, where the senator expresses concern over anti-Semitism and Israel-hatred in Norway, has not been deemed newsworthy by the Norwegian media. Let us see what kind of news items on Israel the media does find newsworthy. Jewish settlements amount to 40% of West Bank: Adresseavisen finds [...] In Norway, it is deemed newsworthy when the IDF develops an odorless sock, but not when US Senator Brownback sends a letter, expressing concern over anti-Semitism and Israel-hatred, to the Norwegian ambassador of Washington DC. A Norwegian journalist has just explained why Senator Brownback’s letter to Norway’s ambassador in Washington DC is not newsworthy: [...] Snapshot picks up on the nomination of Manfred Gerstenfeld for the Norwegian Media Victim award of Stray Spetalen. We have copied the entire post this time, rather than just an excerpt. Visit Snapshot anyway, it’s an up-to-date, intelligent website: — And the Nominee for Norwegian Media Victim of the Year Is… Dr. Manfred Gerstenfeld So unbridled is [...] A market in Gaza, picture from Tom Gross' blog The photo above is from Tom Gross‘ blog of May 25th 2010 and shows a market in Gaza. This is not anything like the Warsaw ghetto of WWII, which is what prominent Norwegian citizens have repeatedly compared it to. Among these prominent citizens we find: Torstein [...] The term “prison-camp” awakens very different connotations than the more neutral “prison”. Which is probably exactly why Fredrikstad Blad elects to use “prison-camp” in the article above, and not “prison”. linkscolor = “000000″; highlightscolor = “888888″; backgroundcolor = “FFFFFF”; channel = “none”; Screenshot of Akerhaug's article in Aftenposten Lars Akerhaug is a former leader of the Palestinakomite who now works as a journalist in Aftenposten, which is headed by former maoist Hilde Haugsgjerd.

So after it has become known that Jewish children in Trondheim are being bullied at school, NRK asks [...] Graphic from Tundra Tabloids NRK’s Sidsel Wold recently had an interview with Manfred Gerstenfeld, who has written extensively on anti-Semitism in Norway.

Finnish Tundra Tabloids suggests that with this, the Norwegian State Broadcasting Service NRK has reached its NRK-gate. [...] Graphic from Tundra Tabloids Late in March, NRK’s Sidsel Wold was to interview Israeli academic Manfred Gerstenfeld.

The article is written by Aftenposten’s correspondent to the Middle East, Jørgen Lohne. It is a fair enough story. Seen in isolation, there is nothing wrong with it. But are all Middle Eastern countries scrutinized equally when it comes to organ trade? [...]
NRK’s Tone Staude today writes (screenshot above) on how orthodox Jews have thrown bottles at a Norwegian woman in Jerusalem. The woman in question, one Ronja Normann Annexstad Trolie, is partaking in an exchange through the Ecumenical Accompaniment Programme in Israel and Palestine (EAPPI). NRK tells us little about this organization. NGO monitor [...] Sidsel Wold is NRK’s journalist to the Middle East, which for all practical purposes means Israel. Syria and Iran does not, as we all know, take too kindly to snooping journalists, whereas life in Israel is comfortable. Quite recently Sidsel Wold interviewed Israeli academic Manfred Gerstenfeld, who has written a book about anti-Semitism in the Norway.
