Not surprising. Norway has very high Muslim immigrant population, which breed vigorously. The same Muslim brats who bully Jews, bully also Buddhists. Buddhists are "heathens" and "polytheists" to the Muslims. The locals have been intimidated beyond any action. Norway has very strict anti-discriminatory laws which are usually applied against the locals when they protest against the behaviour on Muslims. The very same apply to Sweden as well. Muslims do what they want and the locals are too frightened to fight back or defend the Jews.

What I read here about the self-annullment of Norwegian Jews, is simply outrageous. Dear Jews of Norway, would you finally stand up and fight back for your dignity? Or as the good, submissive diasporic Jews that you are, you'd keep pretending the spittings you receive are raindrops? And continue to eat the same antisemitic sh*t we Jews have been fed for centuries? Such pathetic attitude from fellow Jews abroad, brings me shame as a Jew. Funny thing is, in Norway (as well as other countries) - the strongest pro-Israel supporters are not even Jewish.

If one follows Gerstenfelds way of argumentation, also official Israel could be labeled anti-semitic. Doesn't he remember, that the authorities refused jewish intellectual Noam Chomski even entering Israel, let alone giving lectures, because they didn't like his political views?

the holaucost". this is happening again! it's not happening only to israelies any more, but to all jews. the poeple who condemned anti-sematisem in 1930's are no longer with us and no one will do the job for us. maybe the jews of america won't be the ones to carry the torch this time. we most NOT wait for those jews of hollywood to wake up. we most do it on our on!!!! thanx.

It certainly isnt the vast majority of Norwegians but a few officials, politicians and academics whose vehement and fanatical so called Anti Zionist agenda has to be questioned. And why do I feel uncomfortable from perso9nal experience? In the course talking to so many people of different political pursuasions about Israel and the Middle East its only talking to a Scottish Irish and a Norwegian official who in their diatribes to me referred to 'these Zionists' as 'these Jews'. Makes you wonder

and yet they complain about Norway not paying deference to a senator ?

Melchior by defending Norwegian anti-semitism is an anti-semitic collaborator.

The US President's stated goal is the dissection or dismemberment of Israel. We refuse his insidious, muslim-inspired design to the consternation of your type of Obamabots. It has nothing to do with Norway's antisemitism which has a long, pre- WWII history. Your lame attempt to conflate two incongruous issues called "red herring".

Chomsky revered only by the radical Communists as "intellectual" for his support of Khmer Rouge genocide, his vicious anti-Americanism, vile Israel hatred and support of Holocaust denying other "intellectuals. During all his life he supported anarcho-Communism, and became a self-appointed guru of the Stalin-Trotsky worshipers - most likely like you. His time in history passed along with the 60-s "flower children" for his cult has no more public appeal beyond a narrow, fringe radicals.

IMAGINE BEING A MUSLIM IMMIGRANT IN NORWAY AND BEING TOLD THAT YOU WILL RECIEVE 210 EUROS PER CHILD PER MONTH,UP TO 5 CHILDREN,ROUGHLY 1 THOUSAND EUROS PER MONTH,THAN SINCE YOU CAN'T SPEAK NORWEIGAN YOU CAN'T WORK SO YOU RECEIVE 1400 EUROS PER MONTH NOT TO WORK,OH I FORGOT YOU ARE ALSO LIVING IN A HIGH RISE FOR FREE , THAT COMES WITH ARAB CABLE TV FOR FREE, NO WONDER 20% OF NORWAYS 5 MILLION ARE MUSLIM.THE NORWEIGANS SHOULD START TO FACE REALITY EVEN IF IT'S TOO LATE FOR THEM, THE 1200 JEWS ARE NOT THE THREAT TO THEIR SOCIETY IT'S 1 MILLION MUSLIMS.

More than any other person Manfred Gerstenfeld is to be credited for exposing Norwegian Anti- Semitism. He has gone deeper into the subject than anyone else. And he has taken on his critics in Norway itself. His courageous action reveals how a nation supposedly one of the most enlightened in the world can be guilty of the worst kind of bias and prejudice.

Your bigoted comment is typical of the racist muslim strategy of always accusing the victim and especially using a so-called Jewish traitor person like chomsky, who ingratiates himself to racist morons like you.

Enough of the BS from these governments and pandering to the racist muslims and their euro supporters. We Jews must call them what they are, "RACISTS". No one reacts to anti-semitism, but it is racism, and these animals must be called what they are and let them respond and defend their racism.

The Sweedes were too busy selling ball bearings to the Nazi's to stand up for anything decent during WWII. The Norwegians were too busy with Quisiling. There were decent Norwegians trying to fight the German occupation, but that was a long time ago. Younger Norwegians are a bunch of Muslim lovers.

Obama is welcome to come on a state visit to Israel at any time. You know that. Israel disagrees with Obama's handling of the peace process, which is fair enough. Israelis are the ones who have to face the bus bombings and rocket attacks if they give the Palestinians land without a peace treaty in return. But this is not rebuffing Obama. Netanyahu doesn't leave Obama waiting while he has dinner with his family, or give speeches undermining Obama's policies hours before Obama is due to visit Israel... he can't because Obama hasn't visited Israel since he was competing for Jewish votes in 2008.

against anti semitism. The current US President will not do it so the people must.

Political diversity flourishes in the open Israeli democracy. The leftist extremist Chomsky is persona non grata in Israel due to his vil anti-semitic propaganda lies and committment to Israel's destruction.

And yet every supermarket in Israel continues to sell Norwegian salmon. Canada, which is one of Israel's best allies, sells Nova Scotia salmon all over the world, but it is not available here.

Stop oppressing the Arabs in Palestine and stealing their land, Israel!

...and I agree with Shoshanas (#1) explanation (I've also experienced it firsthand).

Why shouldn't he be rebuffed ?

norway is not worthy that much,.the poor people here are brainwasht,simple and have no humor.,a simple job for the fanatic anti Israel politics.

If the Senator spat on the Norwegians and treated them like dirt, then yes, they should ignore him. As is, Netanyahu showed the Jew-hating Obama too much deference and respect.

UFFFFffffffffffff ffffffff i feel bored with this game, you guys don't have something else ?

the Israeli self-hating Jewish left?

No EU country can beat the "Haaretzniks's" hysterical, self-loathing trance. Only one mystery remains for which they gave no explanation: what would be their life once the dreams of Gideon Levy and his acolytes become reality? I think Ynet contributor, Mr. Sever Plocker already wrote an article about these people's actions in History.

what do you expect from the new in the Muslim brotherhood ?.

Any idea who was financig Hitler's transactions - BTW the Sweedes and the Norwegians have a reason not to love you that's got nothing to do with an antisemitism ,...
