Keep exposing Norway's hate-mongering

Manfred Gerstenfeld has a plan to defeat Norway's Orwellian hate-mongering. Deputy Foreign Minister Espen Barth Eide wrote last Friday in The Jerusalem Post: “We have a proven track record of committing our political, financial and military resources to peace-building activities around the world, where combating both terrorism and the causes of terrorism are important objectives.”

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

The Norwegian obsession with Israel

Last year, a Syrian-born Norwegian politician accused the Norwegian Labor party of anti-Semitism. Last year Sara Azmeh Rasmussen, a Syrian-Norwegian writer and a secular humanist, accused Norwegian political parties of outright anti-Semitism. Rasmussen claimed that toleration for extremism that emanates from Islamic countries has influenced local attitudes toward the Jews.Rasmussen was a member

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,

They don't sympathize with terrorists, do they?

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

Time for Norwegians to learn a lesson?

Norwegian ambassador to Israel Svein Sevje told Maariv this week that 'Palestinian terrorism' against Israel is more justified than terrorism against Norwegians. Perhaps it's time for Norwegians to wake up and smell the coffee? This is from Alan Dershowitz. The causes of terrorism are multifaceted but at bottom they have a common cause: namely, a belief that violence is the proper response to

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

Norwegian ambassador to Israel justifies 'Palestinian' terrorism

If you love Israel, then I guarantee you that after you read this post, you won't feel sorry for Norway anymore. Svein Sevje said in an Israeli newspaper interview Tuesday that while the Norwergian bomb and gun rampages that killed 76 people and Palestinian attacks should both be considered morally unacceptable, he wanted to "outline the similarity and the difference in the two cases."
