• Malmö: Ever since I came here people have been shouting ‘fucking Jew’ at me
    Anyone concerned for the re-emergence of anti-Semitism in Scandinavia who is not reading Sweden, Israel and the Jews is robbing themselves blind. If you follow Sweden, this is the place to go.

  • ‘Jews themselves wrote lists of whom were to die in concentration camps’
    The University of Oslo wants to fire a history professor – appearently for having violated its health, environment and safety (HES) code.

  • Norwegian funnymen fearful of insulting Muhammed
    Norwegian comedian Thomas Seltzer. Picture from NRK P3. In 2006 funnyman Otto Jespersen demonstrated his courageous wit by torching the Bible.

  • Støre and Syria, Bishops’ Boycott

  • Is Dagbladet confusing Gaza with the Westbank?
    Dagbladet attributes this picture to Gaza, by Reuters, Elilana Aponte and Scanpix. The picture above is from an article in Dabladet titled “New peace talks between Israelis and Palestinians“.

  • FM Støre, Dr Mads, Syversen on the Bishops’ Boycott

  • Editor slams Bishops’ Boycott
    DagenMagazinet For Vebjørn Selbekk “freedom of expression” is more than just words, as is “courage”.

Gov worried over renegade economists, freelancing army officers and right-wing Israelis

Is the Norwegian government inventing enemies just so as to have someone else to blame but themselves? Here are three recent and current examples:

1: …a campaign… is being organized and orchestrated from circles who point out enemies of Israel [in Norway](Haaretz): During a tour to the Middle East, FM Jonas [...]

Code cracked - spies listening everywhere

Loose lips sink ships

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 [...]

Morten Levin and the serpent’s egg

In Shakespeare’s Julis Caesar, Brutus looks for a reason to join the conspiracy against Caesar.

Indeed, in such a case Caesar is [...]

Israeli weekly on NTNU

NTNU is one of Norway’s most prestigous universities. It is the dear Alma Mater of some of our best and brightest. It is therefore highly unfortunate to see NTNU dean Torbjørn Digernes dabble in political intrigue, and that in a manner and to an extent so decidedly inappropriate for a man of his position. His acts – “saluting” boycott activists and insisting [...]
