1. I live in norway
ilan   (03.22.11)
The hate against jews has taken a new challenge. mostly because of the muslim immigrants and the left. its the same thing in sweden. The media here is all about israel did that and that not what the palestiinians did. And for a while now, they have also changed the orgin of country of the dadles from israel to palestine in the stores. because they belive it does not sell. its all the media that creates that hate and the media is a big part of it.. Here in Scandinavia its all about ''Political Correctness '' but more and more people are starting to wake up and see the truth.
2. No Evidence That A Nation Called "Norway" Ever Existed
David H ,   Marietta USA   (03.22.11)
3. HOLOCAUST DENIAL
DBN ,   NY USA   (03.22.11)
The name Mathisen translated means "capacity of G-d", and this creature lives a life in denial of places such as Jadwiga, Sobibor, Ravensbruck, Auschwitz and yes "Matthausen" There is a scene in Fiddler on the roof where the Father shouts to ghis daughter "No Chava! Some things never chage!!" How true, how sick that someone in such a prestigious position can be allowed to utter such virulent words. To deny the bestiality of the European continent against the Jews, the utter barbarity speaks volumes. Perhaps when the barbarians the "liberal" Europeans have allowed into their gates (to show how kind they are after slaughtering the 6 million) turn onto them like banshees in the night, perhaps then, they will learn that there is a comeuppance fore everything......
4. Denying G-D and Shoa same ...
ORA ,   JERUSALEM   (03.22.11)
Childish.What i do not want, and do not see,doesn t exist.
5. "Asked" to resign? Why wasn't he just kicked out ???
Brian Cohen ,   Judean Peoples Front   (03.22.11)
Here is more proof of the lack of leadership in Europe and Scandinavia. He should have been immediately expelled from his party, not "asked" to resign. Or maybe, Mathisen is just preparing to convert to Islam since Norway in 100 years will be just another backwater Islamic dictatorship...
6. Who cares?
Jake ,   USA   (03.22.11)
So long as we continue crying about our troubled past, we will never fully realize our bright future. My grandfather is a Holocaust survivor, and his entire family was wiped out. Not a brother, sister, uncle, aunt or cousin remained. Just him. I mention this to show that I am aware of the terrible tragedy that befell European Jews during WW2 and I don't belittle it. However, we must move on. Our focus should be stopping our present day enemies who are inciting another Holocaust.
7. EUROPES DAY IS COMING
AFRIED ,   Delray Beach Florida   (03.22.11)
This is not the first time in history that people have put their head in the sand and blamed all that is bad with this world on a fictional enemy. However, what eventually occurs is that these same people begin to be terrorized by the same people they once thought were good. They then have to deal with a life and death struggle for their own existance (the same struggle they once denied others) .
8. Shoah DID Happen and not only to the Jews!!!
Edward ,   Savannah, USA   (03.22.11)
WHY do the People keep voting these brainless morons into office!!!??? All one has to do to PROVE that the holocaust DID happen is to watch it on You Tube!!! ALL of it is posted there for ALL the world to see!!! The Germans thought that they would never have to answer for what they were doing to the people and/or Jews that they conquored and brazenly and stupidly filmed their atrocites and we have it on display on You Tube. You can watch the films that the Japanese did to the Chinese, especially to the rape, murder, and cruel butchery that they did to the Chinese women, and it's all on You Tube too. There were TWO Shoahs!!!One Jewish and the other, Chinese. In fact, MORE Chinese people were murdered by the Japanese than Hitler could ever dream about. These are the MILLIONS that History has forgotten about.
9. Jake you poor deluded boy
Gershon ,   Canada   (03.22.11)
Attitudes like yours allow people like Mathisen to rewrite history. Revisionist like him delegitimize us as a people. The nazis used the same tool on the us so no one cared whether we were exterminated or not. By allowing Mathisen to propagate this lie you, Jake insult your grandfather and his triumph. The old adage, "he forgets history will repeat it's mistakes" should be branded into your little brain.
10. #6 "who cares"
yosef ,   memphi   (03.22.11)
B"H If anyone should refuse to allow the memory of the Shoah to become sidelined and desensitized it should be those of us like you and I living in Galut. Our OWN indifference and false security will lay the foundation of a repeat chas vshalom. We can preserve memories good or bad without seeking pity...Never Again.
11. Deny all you want...Here is the truth
Daniel ,   TA and DC   (03.22.11)
This is quoted directly from the Dwight D Eisenhower Memorial Commission. "General Eisenhower understood that many people would be unable to comprehend the full scope of this horror. He also understood that any human deeds that were so utterly evil might eventually be challenged or even denied as being literally unbelievable. For these reasons he ordered that all the civilian news media and military combat camera units be required to visit the camps and record their observations in print, pictures and film. As he explained to General Marshall, “I made the visit deliberately, in order to be in a position to give first-hand evidence of these things if ever, in the future, there develops a tendency to charge these allegations merely to ‘propaganda.’” His prediction proved correct. When some groups, even today, attempt to deny that the Holocaust ever happened they are must confront the massive official record, including both written evidence and thousands of pictures, that Eisenhower ordered to be assembled when he saw what the Nazis had done."

I care ,   USA   (03.22.11)
You lost family and now you are forever cleansed and free to see and feel the sunshine... Must be nice for you at last to stick your head up from the sand now and then. People like you make me sick for your narsisistic indifference to the hate filled reality that again swarms all about us.
13. jake
aaron ,   sweden   (03.22.11)
While I agree with you that we should try to move on. Half my family was also wiped out during the holocaust. People like mathiessen are part of the present day enemy. They attempt to illegetimise everything that jewish.
14. Comparing an INEXISTING thing called god
Charles ,   Petach Tikva   (03.22.11)
and the Shoa , that's not only childish but also the mostr stupid thing i've heard in years .
15. Norway, subsidiary of islam inc.
jo   (03.22.11)
includes distortions, lies, Malice, evil minded,envious, hate,.Virulent words can only come from a virulent breast feeding mother (it's in their blood). How can this depraved jerk take the words of flourishing Nazi historians that abound in Norway. Does it really matters, Europe is doomed anyway. More swill in muhammad's "royaume"
16. not a mp
han ,   solo   (03.22.11)
This man is NOT a member of the norwegian parliament, but of the sami(minority group) parliament. please get your facts right
17. #1 Ilan
Line Singer ,   Århus, Denmark   (03.22.11)
It's the same in Denmark. Jews cannot wear kippa or magen David when walking on Nørrebro in Copenhagen or they'll get verbally or even physically assaulted. The media only reports "Israel bombed Gaza" and then in a tiny sentence at the end it says "this was a response to rockets from Gaza". Israel is always shown as a horrible evil place and we hear "apartheid state" and "apartheid fence" all the time. I'm sick of it and embarrassed to be from such a country...
18. FOLLOW THE MONEY - Donations, etc.
Carl   (03.22.11)
19. #1 .. thank you
izzie irgun ,   usa   (03.22.11)
Ilan .. i appreciate your inisght into what is happening in the north and the fact that you give us hope that one day the people of norway, sweden and holland will get some brains in their heads .. of course with muslims pouring into your country on a daily basis, most people and politicians are runnign scared ...long live Gert Welders
20. Holocaust denial
IRV ,   USA   (03.22.11)
I am a child of two survivors. That is a fact. 90% of my parents families were murdered by the nazis. That is a fact. The nazis were the BEST documentors of their genocides. That too is the greatest fact of all! No one in the annuals of human history can deny that fact unless they wish it to happen again.
21. There are blueprints and records kept by the Germans.
noa ,   israel   (03.22.11)
They were proud of their handiwork. He should mostly be fired for making ludicrous, stupid statements.
22. HOLOCAUST DENIAL
DANIEL ,   HAMILTON, CANADA   (03.22.11)
I said it before and I will say it again, europeans only remember the Jews as group that never faught back and could be kicked around. thats how the holocaust came about the germans and the rest of europe had know respect for Jews. Israel changed all that, they are not use to Jews who fight back and do a better job then they did so all the crap that they learned from there fathers and grandfathers about jews doesnt work anymore so now Israel is the bad guy and there was no holocaust
23. 14Don t believe everything you think
ORA ,   JERUSALEM   (03.22.11)
Your expertise is not that safe.
24. Holocaust Denier
observer   (03.22.11)
I' sure that in a democratic state like Norway, Anders Mathisen will be given ample opportunity to present a comprehensive list of research material, and most particularly, of which sources led him to draw his conclusions. I'm sure that for the rest of us, it will make very interesting reading.
25. He is a member of the Sami parliament, not the Norwegian
David ,   Norway   (03.22.11)
Mr. Anders Mathisen belongs to the Sami minority living in the far nort of Scandinavia. They have limited self rule there, and their own parliament called the "Sametinget". He was videly ridiculed and condemned for his comments on the Holocaust, and checking out his facebook page you can see that he is generally someone who bus into conspiracy-theories off all kinds, and promotes these.
26. What do you expect
Paul ,   Jerusalem, Israel   (03.22.11)
The massive amount of people that took part in murdering Jews, and the massive amount of people denying it happened, should tell the Jews how to interpret the pressure to make peace with pro-Hitler Arab Jew-haters. The good advice of all nations are dripping with ulterior motives. That Jews should never ever, engage in discussion's requiring compromise in exchange for peace.
27. THANK YOU
Palestinian   (03.22.11)
28. #9, #12, #13, you missed the point
Jake ,   USA   (03.22.11)
I am not suggesting that we forget about what happened. In fact, there is commandment to remember how evil Amalek (read: Hitler) is, and to never forget what they did & continue to do to us. I am suggesting that we stop making a fuss over anti-semites who want us dead. They will always want us dead. Nothing we do, say, or post on Ynet will change that.
29. Lol it's nice to see u all so pissed off
Deutronomy 28 ,   World   (03.22.11)
30. I feel sorry for the Norwegian
ishai ,   israel   (03.22.11)
May god help them with this illness
