For too long anti-Semitism in Norway has been a non-topic. For too long, it has been all but impossible to even suggest publicly that the wildly disproportionate, so called “legitimate criticism” of Israel is at least in part motivated by racist hatred. The good news is that the playing field might soon level out.
Here’s five [...]
Unauthorized translation from NRK (State Broadcasting) on anti-Semitism in Norwegian schools:
Pupils admire Hitler
NRK has spoken with teachers of 10th – 12th form (junior high) schools where many of the pupils are muslim. None of the teachers dare let themselves be interviewed. They fear reprisals from pupils, and are therefore anonymous:
Teacher 1, woman:
«There is a notorious [...]
Forces of evil are moving.
Today state television NRK broadcast on anti-Semitism in Norway.

The Spanish-speaking world is of growing importance both in terms of demographics, economy and political leverage. And the cultural hub of the Spanish-speaking world will of course continue to be Spain. It is therefore a good thing to see that a new blog: Spain, Israel and the Jews, will keep us non-Spanish speakers [...]
Prominent Norwegians such as Kristin Halvorsen, Mads Gilbert and Erik Fosse are not actually doing anything new. They are merely part of a political tradition of the Norwegian left-wing which stretches back to at least the 1930-ies. One of the authors to deal with this aspect of Norwegian political history is Øystein Sørensen, who in his [...]
The University of Oslo wants to fire a history professor – appearently for having violated its health, environment and safety (HES) code. Protesters say this has nothing to do with HES and everything to do with the Univeristy curtailing the freedom of expression of its staff. One of the protestors is Professor of Law Jan [...]
FM Jonas Gahr Støre met with Syria’s FM Muallem on Monday8th. Nothing much in the media about that, not at all. Syria hardly registers at all. In the clip above you see a program from Syrian television. Does not this look like the kind of society Norwegians ought to be worried over? Remember [...]
Qassam rockets: from Ynet news
Dagbladet reports on how freelancing journalist Yngvild Mortensen has her knickers in a twist as Israel refuses to grant her press accreditation. The reason Ms.Mortensen is not getting one is because she is a freelancer, and not in steady employ. When one looks back upon the long series of biased [...]
Again the allegation of the “smear campaign” being waged against Norway by mysterious forces in Israel.

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“. The first half hour the picture did not have any explaining subtext, which easily might have lead readers to believe the picture shows an Israeli kicking [...]
Egill Helgason is the best paid talk-show host on Iceland. He runs a literary program as well as a weekly program on the State Television RUV called Silfur Egils (The silver of Egils), to which all major Icelandic players aspire to be invited, even though an Icelandic source informs us that many Icelanders [...]
NRK (State Broadcasting) today publishes Laila Ø.Bakken’s article “This is how Mossad operates and kills“. The lengthy article is introduced thus: “Poisoned chocolate, poison squirted into the ear and explosive telephones. The legendary Israeli intelligence service Mossad has many ways in which to kill“. Ms.Bakken then proceeds to inform the reader of how “the chief [...]
Eirik Eiglad’s book “The anti-Jewish riots in Oslo” is arousing interest in France. Although we have yet to see this interest translate into sales, this is a promising start.
As mentioned earlier the sites Philosemitism and JUIF.org have published on Eiglad’s book. Now Union des Patrones et des Professionnels Juifs des France and Debriefing.org, both with [...]
The clip above is on the Grand Mufti of Jerusalem Haj Amin Al Husseini (Read more about the clip on Tundra Tabloids). There are basically two perspectives on the Grand Mufti: the Robert Fisk school has it that he ended up as an ally to Hitler after being turned down by all democratic [...]
