NRK reports on the Naqba without mentioning war which caused it Journalist Laila Ø. Bakken of the Norwegian State Broadcasting Authority NRK manages to report on how Abbas’ family fled during the “Naqba”, while completely omitting any mention of the 1948 war which caused the “Naqba”. Egypt, Jordan, Syria, Iraq and [...] When Charles W. Freeman had to resign from a position with the Obama administration in March 2009, he blamed the Israel-Lobby. On Wednesday he visited NUPI in order to speak about US-Israel relations. Vårt Land reports, in an NTB article, that Freeman has as little faith in the current round of peace [...] In an article on a current topic, Nettavisen refers to older articles which have been proved in part erroneous. The Mavi Marmara was boarded on May 31st as it attempted to violate the blockade of Hamas-run Gaza. More than two months after the facts of the matter were made clear, Nettavisen still offers articles [...] An erroneous article in Dagbladet The Dagbladet article below is misleading, when it is not directly wrong, in no less than four different ways. The Dagbladet article above, headed “Armed robbery on Gaza-ships“, was written by journalist Einar Hagvaag and ran on August 19th. The article reports on how IDF soldiers participating [...] In february 2010 NRK`s correspondent to Israel, Sidsel Wold, reported at length on how Israel was planning to construct a museum on top of an an ancient Muslim graveyard. It has now become clear that the graveyard was just a Palestinian hoax designed to make Israel look bad. The NRK article “Bickering over [...] 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: [...] Norwegian journalists, scholars and clergymen usually attribute the difficulties of Palestinian Christians to Israel. They do not tell us about how Palestinian Muslims persecute Palestinian Christians, nor about how this is part of a larger picture where Christians having been forced out of Muslim countries for centuries. The article below was first [...] Norwegian journalists often about the plight of Christians in the Palestinian Territories, as long as Israel ends up with the blame. The larger picture, that the Muslim persecution of Christians in Palestine is part of a larger campaign and that Muslims have persecuted Christians throughout the Islamic world for centuries is usually omitted. [...] The TV2 heading to an NTB article reads: “The UN’s general secretary named on Saturday the two who are to represent Israel and Turkey in the commission which is to investigate the bloody Israeli attack on an aid-ship on its way to Gaza in May“. The article omits the following: 1) mentioning that the Israeli [...] An NTB article, here in Adresseavisen, makes the following erroneous claim about the ship the Mavi Marmara: “The rebuilt cruise ship was one of several vessels which attempted to reach the Gazastrip with humanitarian aid in an action in the end of May“. This is incorrect. The fact is that the Mavi Marmara carried no [...] Screenshot from editorial in Adresseavisen The screenshot above is from an editorial in Adresseavisen on July 8th. Citing an unnamed Israeli humanitarian NGO, Adresseavisen claims that “more than 40 percent of the West Bank is settled by Israelis”. CBS News sets the figure to 1 percent. While it is correct that one NGO – Palestinemonitor [...] Stian Bromark is a Norwegian author and journalist. In the weekly Ny Tid of July 9th 2010, Bromark comments on Giblert Achcar’s book “The Arabs and the Holocaust” on the competition between narratives. Bromark writes: “Holocaust is not as large a trauma as it is in Europe, and thereby there is less knowledge. The consequence is [...] 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 [...] Arab aggression against Israel started long before there were any Jewish settlers on the West Bank, indeed even before there was an Israel at all. Jewish settlers occupy only a fraction of the land that Muslims occupy in Israel. Yet NRK attributes tremendous importance to the settlements. It is because of the settlements, NRK tells [...] |
