Where Anders Behring Breivik came from

Here's an interesting video that might give some indication of where Anders Behring Breivik came from. The video is a bit long - 18 minutes - but it's worth watching in full.

Let's go to the videotape (Hat Tip: Israellycool).

Norway has banned Kosher animal slaughter since before the Nazis

The Norwegian government may be sorry today that they messed with Caroline Glick. And although she explicitly did not ask for one, they might consider an apology. Glick gives us a contemporary history lesson about Norwegian anti-Semitism. In a 2006 report on Jew hatred in contemporary Norwegian caricatures published by the Jerusalem Center for Public Affairs, Erez Uriely noted among other things

Still looking for someone to blame

On Friday, I argued that rather than looking inward in light of last month's double tragedy in Oslo and Utoya, Norway is looking for someone to blame. Unfortunately, the man in the picture at the top of this post just might be a leading candidate. I would bet that most of you will not recognize the name Peder Jensen, but you most likely will recognize his blogging alias: Fjordman. Yesterday,

Barry Rubin responds to Norway

In Sunday's JPost, Barry Rubin responds to the attacks on him by Norway's Foreign Minister and Deputy Foreign Minister. The Norwegian government and media establishment is not ready to have an honest discussion of these issues. Instead, my article was misrepresented in order to stir up a frenzy that closed ears and shut eyes to what I was saying. Indeed, the Norwegian newspaper Dagbladet falsely

Rabbi Elazar Abuhatzeira, Leiby Kletzky and the Utoya massacre

Many tragedies have befallen the Jewish people over the last few months. Two in particular have caused particular consternation.In Brooklyn three weeks ago, almost-nine-year old Leiby Kletzky was kidnapped and murdered by a man whom he trusted because he appeared to be Haredi (ultra-Orthodox) just like him. And last Thursday night in Be'er Sheva, Rabbi Elazar Abuhatzeira, one of the generation's

Disgraceful: JPost apologizes to Norway

We are left, mouths agape, wondering whether an editorial like the one above would have been written a couple of months ago when David Horowitz was the JPost's editor-in-chief. I suspect not. The editorial squarely condemned the attack, saying that “as Israelis, a people that is sadly all too familiar with the horrors of indiscriminate, murderous terrorism, our hearts go out with empathy to the

Norway's Deputy Foreign Minister appeals for 'healing'... by attacking Rubin and Glick

In a comment in Friday's JPost, Norway's Deputy Foreign Minister, Espen Barth Eide, has appealed for 'healing' in the aftermath of Norway's terror attacks two weeks ago. But he has done so with a vicious attack on Barry Rubin (mostly) and Caroline Glick. Many Norwegians, however, have been astonished by assertions recently made in The Jerusalem Post by two of its regular columnists, Barry Rubin

Surprise: Breivik hated liberal Jews as much as Muslims

Anders Behring Breivik, the 'ordinary Norwegian' who murdered 76 people two weeks ago, had an overriding hatred of Muslims. But many other hatreds grew out of that one, including a hatred of liberal Jews. The document, which Breivik distributed online just before his killing spree, covers many subjects, including the evil of women's liberation (there are 200 references to feminism and feminists)

Norwegian Foreign Minister attacks Barry Rubin

Norwegian Foreign Minister Jonas Gahr Store has attacked Professor Barry Rubin for allegedly labeling as 'pro-terrorist' the Utoya youth camp, at which 76 young people were murdered by a normal Norwegian boy. I'll come to Barry's response in a minute, but first let's look at what Store said (via Daily Kos, which takes the opportunity to pile on and bash Barry).For a somewhat more nuanced

Sorting out the European Right

Since Anders Behring Breivik murdered 76 Norwegians two weeks ago, there have been numerous accusations made of ties between Israel (as in the Israeli government) and various organizations of the European Right. Some of the ties are real, others involve individual MK's and not the government. Some of the European counterparts are legitimate conservative parties while others might better be

'A normal Norwegian boy'

Anders Behring Breivik didn't need any of the Right wing thinkers and bloggers that the Left is trying to tag with the blame for his bombing in Oslo and shooting rampage on Utoya Island. He came to it all by himself. In fact, his father was a Norwegian diplomat who was affiliated with the same Labor party whose youth movement members were targeted by Breivik. For many Norwegians, still numbed by

Norway reacts to the Oslo syndrome

On Monday, I did a post entitled the Oslo syndrome, which was partly based upon a post by Barry Rubin of the same name. Barry reports on the Norwegian reaction to his original post. I have received three letters from Norway shocked and angry [along with one that understands my theme and provides additional information reinforcing it.] that I allegedly wrote that the victims of the terrorist

Never let a crisis go to waste

Sometimes I'm glad this blog doesn't (yet) get tens and hundreds of thousands of hits per day, and that I don't have the fame that goes with that traffic volume. One of the unfortunate pieces of fallout from Anders Behring Breivik's murderous spree in Norway ten days ago has been been a 'take no prisoners' rush on the Left to use the murders to silence critics of the growing Islamization of

Der Spiegel tries to blame the Likud for Breivik

Sorry about the lengthy break. I had a lot of paying work today, but I did not anticipate being off for this long.Germany's Der Spiegel has a story that lumps the Likud together with Rightist parties in Europe and blames all of them for Anders Behring Breivik's murderous spree in Norway last week. Islamophobic parties in Europe have established a tight network, stretching from Italy to Finland.

Norwegian Jews worry they will be blamed for Breivik

Norwegian Jews are expressing concern over the possibility that they could be blamed for last Friday's rampage by xenophobe Anders Behring Breivik. Yet even as they mourn along with their fellow countrymen, some Jews here are quietly expressing concern that the attack by a right-wing xenophobe who apparently sympathized with Israel may further mute pro-Israel voices in Norway, where anti-Zionist

Turkey mentioned many times in Breivik manifesto

Turkey's Today's Zaman describes Norwegian terrorist Anders Behring Breivik as 'obsessed with Turkey' (Hat Tip: Joshua I). There are 237 references to Turks and Turkey in the manifesto, but this number does not take into account the many other references to Ottoman history (written mostly focusing on the state of religious minorities) and the Seljuk Empire. He accuses the Ottoman Turks of

A boost for the Islamists

The Norwegian terror attacks have turned into an excuse to beat up on conservative, anti-Islamist bloggers. In a disgraceful piece written this morning, the New York Times all but blames Robert Spencer, Baron Bodissey and Pam Geller for the Oslo attacks. In the document he posted online, Anders Behring Breivik, who is accused of bombing government buildings and killing scores of young people at a

Video: Swedish Algerian reporter blames Norway attack on Mossad

Swedish - Algerian journalist Yahya Abu Zakariya tells Iranian television that the Mossad is responsible for the Iranian attacks. Let's go to the videotape. Sounds just like Moondoweiss, doesn't he?

Left having a field day over Norway attacks

The political Left has been having a field day attacking Right-wing columnists and bloggers who first thought that the Norwegian terror attacks were committed by Jihadists. Even I was attacked last night on Twitter, and I was off line when word of the shooting attack broke.I want to point you to two outstanding responses to those attacks from Donald Douglas and Michelle Malkin.You will note that

Anti-Semites at Mondoweiss blame 'right-wing Zionists' for Norwegian massacre

The anti-Semites at Mondoweiss have found a way to blame the Jooos 'right-wing Zionists' for Friday's mass murder in Norway. An examination of Breivik's views, and his support for far-right European political movements, makes it clear that only by interrogating the nexus of Islamophobia and right-wing Zionism can one understand the political beliefs behind the terrorist attack. Breivik is
