To paraphrase the Bard, there’s something rotten in the state of Norway.
Primary school children in Paris and Montreuil have just been handed out diaries featuring a map from which Israel has been wiped out and replaced by “Palestine”.
The diaries were produced by the League Against Cancer and distributed by the City of Paris led by a Socialist mayor, Anne Hidalgo, who has always been very friendly with the PLO’s head Mahmoud Abbas.
Everywhere, anti-Semitism is devouring Europe and the West is tired of Israel.
Can someone really explain this crazy European anti-Semitism?
Dagbladet is an old crown jewel of Norwegian journalism. Founded in 1869, Oslo’s tabloid is a symbol of the social democratic, multicultural and pacifist nation which awards the Nobel Peace Prize. A few days ago Dagbladet published a comic strip that shows a woman in a supermarket. “What if the food is produced in an unethical manner?”. The woman is holding oranges and is told: “These are from Israel. If you purchase these you support the murderers”.
It is not the first time that the daily newspaper, symbol of the Norwegian intelligentsia, goes overboard in its hatred for the Jewish state. Dagbladet once published a cartoon where you see Palestinian terrorists released in exchange for Gilad Shalit, coming out of a prison which bears the insignia of Buchenwald: “Jedem das Seine” (to each his own).
It is the same Dagbladet that published a cartoon where a child is waiting to be circumcised in a bloodbath. The caption reads: “Ill-treatment? No it is an important part of our faith. ” The father then stabs him with a pitchfork.
Something is rotten in the state of Norway, as Marcello of Shakespeare’s Hamlet would have put it.
A few days ago an image was imprinted as a background on a credit card issued by Dnb Bank, the largest financial institution in the country. You see a Jew with a hooked nose, a yarmulke on his head, a prayer shawl and a cascade of gold coins.
A month ago, the organizers of a film festival in Oslo refused an Israeli documentary, “The other dreamers”, on children with disabilities because the festival supports the boycott.
The sovereign wealth fund of Norway, which manages oil revenues, has divested from the Israeli company Elbit, “guilty” of having built the barrier that stopped the suicide bombers.
The union El & En, which represents workers in the energy industry, adopted a boycott of the Israeli trade union, the Histadrut.
Even the cultural and scientific community is imbued with hatred. Ingrid Harbitz of Oslo’s School of Veterinary Medicine has refused to send a blood sample to the Goldyne Savad Institute of Jerusalem with the following motivation: “I do not want to deliver material to any Israeli university.”
Johan Galtung, the Norwegian sociologist known as “the father of peace studies”, won numerous awards, at the University of Oslo, but also said that there is a link between the terrorist responsible for the massacre of Utoya and the Mossad, the Israeli secret service .
The author of the bestseller “Sophie’s World”, Jostein Gaarder, in an article for Norwegian newspapers, has openly imagined the destruction of Israel.
No anti-Semites, after the Holocaust, had ever ventured on this ground. Including the cartoons of these Social Democrat quislings.
Jews in Norway are just 0.003 percent of the total population, but Oslo is a bastion of global anti-Semitism. We are talking about the land which tops the list of the most “peaceful” countries in the Global Peace Index every year
Can someone really explain this crazy European anti-Semitism? I have no other explanation other than comparing it to the dog rage syndrome or mad cow disease.
Anti-Semitism is a manifestation of an inferiority complex. Gentiles know that – all things being equal – they cannot compete against the Tribe. Fewer than three percent of Americans are Jews, yet more than half of billionaires are Jewish. During the 1930s, an Ivy League president was asked why he installed a quota on Jewish enrollment. He replied that if the university based admission on merit, the entire student body would be Jewish. Jews are granted more patents each month than Muslims have received since the beginning of time.
So one of two things must be true: either the Jews are better (much much better) or the Jews CHEAT! If you were a Gentile, which explanation would appeal to you?
Faced with such a discouraging reality, Gentiles have made a lifestyle choice: Blame the Jews for everything. Can’t get into college? It’s the Jews’ fault. Can’t hold a job? It’s the Jews’ fault? Can’t achieve and maintain a satisfactory erection? It’s the Jews’ fault.
In a perverse way, it is kind of flattering, which is why I don’t get too upset when Mel Gibson drunkenly staggers down Pacific Coast Highway cursing the Jews or Ann Coulter empties her spleen damning the Jews. With all due respect to Paddy, they don’t obsess about the Irish because, well, why even bother? It is the existence of those vexing Jews that torments them.
Bwahahahahaha!
@ bernard ross:
luckily the arabs got that DNA that makes them refuse offers to give them everything they want. Its a built in protection for Jews which the Jews dont have because they would have given it away.
babushka Said:
See, you proved it… its like sickle cell, the blacks are more predisposed but the jews are more predisposed than the euros. Infinite possibilities of combining arseholery(written in the euro version) are carefully combined especially for them.
babushka Said:
Jews are told that all those DNA’s originate in adam and eve. It is not complicated to imagine how all those DNA’s can refract and combine again in a multitude of combinations. Mitochondrial DNA traces back to one woman and yet all the woman of different DNA’s were able to be realized. Your observation is of frozen moments.
keelie Said:
whether either of us agree with that has no bearing on whether it is a fact or not. The fact is that there is no available explanation to date that makes any more sense than my speculation. My speculation incorporates the latest science with regards to DNA studies and quantum physics notions of time. Statements regarding Ishmael, esau and Jacob, and others may be correct and prophetic but they may also be simplistic explanations for the programming of the human software(DNA). The statement that esau incites Ishmael to murder jacob may be more than a past event, more than a future prediction… it might simply be a simple statement of a program code that is timeless until the program code instructs differently. DNA studies show an ever increasing number of effects outside of the physical domain and just the acceptance of preponderances is a statement of programming in time… the instructions of future events and behaviors arranged in infinite combinations with some instructions unchanging. keelie Said:
No more simplistic or mind blowing than the idea that behaviors can be pre ordained as if by software. what is simplistic is the way that complex chemical combinations of DNA can be explained to simple folk like this: “esau incites ishmael to murder jacob”.
keelie Said:
It may and it may not, but what it means to you and me only says what our thinking is capable of but in no way has anything to do with factual reality. People with preponderances present in different ways and they react in different ways… some succumb and some overcome the struggle…it is irrelevant. It only becomes relevant if you have a need to fit reality into your preconceptions but I do not have that need. Every day science is unveiling new “truths” and strangely the latest truths wrt genesis are closer to Torah than the previous science. the big bang theory which is only a few decades old speaks to the probability of an instantaneous creation but just this past year observations pointed to a massive expansion of the created universe in the first 2 seconds of its existence. And what about the experiments in quantum physics which indicated that a change in the present can alter the past? If I am able to accept the unbelievable notions of DNA as programming then it is not much further to accept that events can be written in a program. certainly the passages which relate to the ingathering of Jews in their homeland and the barren land which lay fallow blooming on their return is an incredible pre ordained miracle, to us, but to He who wrote the program and explained it to us in simplicity in Torah for our simple minds, such a prediction is nothing. Science is how we observe the workings of the universe and ourselves and the fact that we can look into our own programming to see future potentialities is itself incredible. there is no doubt that the programming exists, there is only that we do not know how much it controls and creates. In fact, we know that DNA can effect individual human behaviors and most world events are the result of human behaviors.
keelie Said:
whether ego or disease, these are simply the current human lifeform trying to rationalize that which occurs as we observe it… it does not mean our rationalization are correct. Ptolemaic astronomy worked for centuries and Newtonian physics still works within limits.
Ain’t so.
Anglo-Saxon DNA varies from Aryan DNA.
Arian DNA varies from Slavic DNA.
Slavic DNA varies from Hispanic DNA.
Descendants of the Normans have substantially different DNA from descendants of the Etruscans.
The children of Odin have quite different DNA from the children of Zeus.
Yet regardless of their differing DNA, the Eurofilth universally hate the Chosen.
The shared genetic European characteristic which accounts for their eternal anti-Semitism is that they are all assholes.
Assholery.
That is the common link.
For centuries, the Euros relentlessly persecuted the Jews and other minorities. The Jews were the only minority who excelled despite the persecution. This galling impudence drove the Euros insane, a condition they manifest to this day.
Esau incites Ishmael to murder Jacob…. its in the programming, the DNA, a preponderance towards a disease, studies show that DNA can carry preponderance towards mental and emotional diseases….. there is obviously a pathological obsession which goes beyond ideology and religion as all the shades exhibit the disease with varying rationalizations. It keeps appearing on a cyclical basis, like herpes.
Lke all genetic preponderances it may or may not arise at all and may skip generations….. but there are enough of the genes available to manifest a cyclical behavior with no other rational explanation yet found for this serial, repetive, cyclical behavior. I wonder if anyone ever did a cyclical study? This may also explain the anti semitism of some Jews as it appears completely irrational. In Jews it can be intermarriage and mixed genes…. IN fact, the most perplexing behavior is in Jews but this becomes rational when viewing it from a genetic point of view…something uncontrollable always explained with elaborate rationalizations by the educated anti semites and simply enthusiastically embraced by the uneducated ones. In the end they cant help it, if the preponderance takes hold there is nothing they can do.

LOL, still trying to sell your fairy tale?
@ Underzog:
I agree with everything you say. A few carefully-selected “examples” would do the trick. Allow me to quote myself quoting someone else (I believe it was Voltaire) when I indicated that such examples would serve “pour encourager les autres”.
So far – at least to my limited knowledge – nobody has suffered any such “encouragement” by inciting, directly or indirectly, others to kill Jews. This is probably because some folks believe that Freedom of Speech is God-given. The other side of God-given Freedom of Speech is God-given consequences to said speech. That gives us a nice feeling of balance which this world could sure use right now.
None of this is surprising. Europe has always been antiSemitic. The world is evil, cowardly, and resentful. Rather than confront the bullying Muslims, Israel and the Jews are the convenient scapegoats — the dog one can kick instead of opposing the bully smacks you around and rapes your girlfriend. Since cowardice is the watchword for the world, Israel and the Jews have to deal with the world as it is and have them fear the Jews. The Mossad must declare that antisemites have no right to life and see what a tiny country such as Israel can do about. I guess Machiavelli ws right afterall when he said it is better to be feared than loved. Also, Jews will all have to go to Israel. The world can say bad things about the Jews, but at least the Jews won’t be there to get beaten up.
@ CuriousAmerican:
Gotcha! 🙂 You know you are crossing the line!
And all I did was respond with Hosea and Isaiah.
Nuff said for now or Ted will re-moderate me.
@ CuriousAmerican:
That’s a real stretch CA and you know it! All he did was bring up Deut. You on the other hand just had to take the opportunity to attempt to once again lay guilt trips on us.
With all due respect you are not a Rabbi and you are not Jewish. Generally speaking Jews do not take heed to Christian type missionaries.
The subject matter that Bert brought up was where to find anti-Semitism in the Torah.
I actually agree with Keelies response.
Again, with all due respect you may not know how Hashem operates when it comes to the Jewish people. This is for us to discuss amongst ourselves.
It is not nice of you to take it as an opportunity to judge us. You are walking a continuous dangerous line. I say it as a warning. When Hashems judgement comes it is swift and deadly. Take heed!
Wrong, again, Dove!
Bert brought the issue of religion up – NOT ME. I even quoted Bert so that you could see who brought religion up.
I merely responded with Jewish Scripture.
For your edification. 🙂
@ CuriousAmerican:
Bible thumping the Jews again CA? We have a clean slate! We just had Yom Kippur. Wait until just before Yom Kippur next year. 🙂
There are more people on this site who love Catholics than hate them. As always, the haters are the loudest.
In as much as you brought religion up:
Then you must ask yourselves in what capacity you have failed to obey the Lord your God so that the situation may be corrected, and all go well for Israel.
Going to the Jewish Publication Society, I recommend these two passages from Jewish Scripture for reflection and consideration.
and
For your edification.
The cover of this news blog reveals a deep anti-Catholic hatred. However, Marxist Jews are the greatest threat to Israel in the West. Islamic hate is increasing but the intellectual foundations for the moral crime of antisemitic behavior is owned by your Marxist cousins.
I don’t believe what you say in general above, and I don’t believe that even the most secular of Jews “have little respect for our Torah”. The respect most of we Jews have for our Torah is found generally in the way we live and the way we think, which is to do good. Naturally this does not apply to everyone, but there is essentially a common “streak” in us.
The explanation for European anti-Semitism is no mystery. The explanation is found in chapter 28 of the book of Deuteronomy which remains ignored. We are told that if we obey the Law G-d will fight for us and we will be secure but if we fail to obey the Law G-d will abandon us to our enemies and we will suffer. Naturally we elect leaders who are secular and have little respect for our Torah. Then we cry “gevalt” but never change our ways.
