Philosemitism operates out of Belgium, where things have been tough for quite some time.

Back in March, the Jerusalem Post published an erroneous article on anti-Semitism in Norway.

Many left-wing Norwegians find Ilan Pappe to be just about the smartest thing since cut cheese. And as for his book on the Ethnic Cleansing of Palesine – ah, blood and gore on almost every page. Of which there are not too many. All true, though! An affordable buy, nicely priced. Mr. Pappe now...
