Doctors Mads Gilbert and Erik Fosse worked in Shifa hospital during the Gaza war, and also doubled as news reporters. After the war they proceeded to publish the best-selling book “Eyes of Gaza”, now in its fourth edition, in what with certainty must be deemed the most spectacular public relations endeavour to be [...] A corporate flowchart of Norwegian development aid. From Norsk Utviklingshjelps historie, by Kjerland et al. The flowchart above is from Norges Bistandhistorie (A history of Norwegian development aid) by Kjerland, Liland, Ruud and Simonsen. The flowchart illustrates the Norwegian development aid sector as it was understood by the company Statskonsult in 1997. Why is only [...] From: Development Today If you want to understand Norwegian foreign policy, Development Today is an absolute must. The journal asks some of the right questions and picks up on issues that Akersgata is unable to attend to. In No.16/2009 (above) DT observes that Labour is assuming control of a larger proportion of the development aid [...] Money is power. Norway has more of it than you would estimate from the size of our population (approx.4,6 million). Now investing money wisely, as Mr.Murdoch will tell you, is no easy task. How to make sure the money is invested for good, rather than evil? Excerpt from Development Today: Three Nordic governments dominate the top spots [...] Norway supports the Palestinian people (pr.capita) more than any other people on earth. Yet this support appears to be completely unrelated to the actual behavior of the regimes of Hamas and Fatah. Blatant racism and incitement to murder goes virtually unnoticed by the red-green coalition government, although it has been questioned by the opposition (Progress [...] The red-green government has been a staunch supporter of the PA, Hamas and the UNRWA. Yet when it is revealed that Hamas rejects tuition on the Holocaust in Gaza-schools, the red-green government is silent. Perhaps Norwegians should take the criticism from Sri Lanka to heart – perhaps Solheim the Silent is indeed a fitting nickname [...] Two days ago Aftenposten’s ME correspondent Jørgen Lohne wrote about how Hamas rejects Holocaust-education in Gaza-schools. Seeing as how Norway not only heads the ITF this year but also is one of the PA’s, Hamas’ and UNRWA’s greatest sponsors, one would expect the government to react. Alas, the red-green coalition government has so far not [...] This year Norway heads the ITF for Holocaust Remembrance. Norway is also one of UNRWA’s largest sponsors, which do not teach about the Holcaust in their Gaza-schools. Why? Hamas won’t allow it. From UNRWA's website Perhaps Erik Solheim should pop over to Gaza and lay down the law? linkscolor = “000000″; highlightscolor = “888888″; [...] Unauthorized translation from DagenMagazinet: Aftonbladet is Sweden’s largest newspaper. On August 17th the newspaper, in its culture section, printed a long “article” by freelance journalist Donald Boström. The article was a disgusting anti-Semitic brew. Aftonbladet’s editors should have discovered that at first glance. But when this obviously did not happen, it begs the question of what [...] Norwegian dog lovers hoping to hear more about Aftenposten’s ME correspondent Jørgen Lohne’s family dog – a five year old golden retriever by the name of Maja – were disappointed this morning when Mr. Lohne failed to mention Maja with as much as a word. Instead Mr.Lohne writes about the infamous NORWAC doctor Mads Gilbert, [...] Jerusalem Post August 19th – Gerald Steinberg writes the article Swedish government funds anti-Semitic NGO’s. As any Scandinavian will tell you, Sweden and Norway are in many ways very similar – we speak more or less the same language, hold few and shallow grudges against our neighbors, are dedicated to the idea of wealth distribution [...] From the pages of With Israel for Peace (MIFF), Norway’s largest pro-Israel organization. Numbers from NORAD. We see that Norway provides the PA with increasing amounts of money. We also know that Norwegian newspapers write more about Israel than they do about Norway’s own war in Afghanistan. We furthermore know that during the May 1st [...] Trust is a survival mechanism with the power to destroy you. This is the basic gist of R.M. Kramer’s article “Rethinking trust” in the June edition of Harvard Business Review. Upon reading it, any Norwegian reader of the article will be hard pressed not to immediately think of Norway’s Minister of Development Erik Solheim, who [...] July 2nd, 2009: the journal Development Today prints the article “Donors consider crisis package for Palestinian Authority”. The article discusses how Norway tries to get Saudi Arabia onboard for a crisis packaget to the PA, how Norway is the second largest Western donor to the Palestinian areas, and how Jonas Gahr Støre, Norway’s Minister of [...] Norway’s most prominent political historian, Jens Arup Seip, always told his students that in order to understand history they were only to follow the money and they wouldn’t go wrong. But that was back in the sixties when money was scarce. Today Norway is awash with cash and we use a full 1% of it [...] |
