31. This article is wrong
haraldo ,   norway   (03.22.11)
Anders Mathisen is not an MP in Norway and he is not a lawmaker. He is just an ordinary member of the Labor Party, which has totally rejected his statements.
32. The irony of the leftist oslo accords............
YC ,   Israel   (03.22.11)
..........this
33. It's not only Muslims. Plenty of home-grown anti-Semitism
avraham ,   nyc   (03.22.11)

I care ,   US   (03.22.11)
You are a bigger fool than I thought. So passivity in the face of a member of the Norwegian parliament's ugly, incite-filled vomit, is your answer? Tell me, just who gets on your enemies list...high ranking party officials? Movie tzars? Sports heros? Dictators? Selective action is way too late my little meekness, the war against the Jews has been raging forever and will never go away, just because you want it to, will not make it so. Time to either put your head back into the sand or learn how to fight on all levels. Or is that too much to ask of you?
35. Thanks Ilan, #1, Norway
Rafi ,   USA   (03.22.11)
Would love to hear if you have any thoughts about how to confront this skewed, antisemitic, Scandinavian news reporting. What can be done to speed up their access to reality? PS: It must really suck to live there, politically speaking! What a bunch of hypocrites. They live in a fantasy world… At the same time Danish planes are leveling Libya and they're probably feeling it justified. What a bunch of nonsense.
36. #6, 12: It happened, it's a fact, now let's move on!
Michael ,   California, USA   (03.22.11)
My family lost 80% of its members in the Shoa. Auschwitz, Treblinka are memorials along with the Holocaust museum in Washington, DC, the Yad va'Shem. and the memorial in Berlin. Billions of words have been written about the Holocaust and the books are catalogued in thousands of libraries around the world. Jake (#6), I agree with you, we need to move on. Along with you "I care" (#12), Jake and I grieve also. But, has Inquisition been forgotten, the rapes by Kozaks and murders under Chmielnitzki been forgotten? Have the slaughter of Jews by Romans been forgotten? Maybe the memory of the Holocaust will become less acute,. just like with the Inquisition, but it's unavoidable. It is a perfectly normal process when the world moves on. Your harsh words to Jake need rectifying as you have no reason to unload your anger against the world on him, #12.
37. Old news
Dan ,   Herzliya   (03.22.11)
He got kicked out of the "arbeiderpartiet" 12.3-2011. But yes the hatred of jews are growing fast in Norway, and its because of all the muslims there, most norwegians dont want them in Norway, but still they ceep poring in.
38. NO EVIDENCE THIS GUY HAS A BRAIN
Bob ,   Paris   (03.22.11)
39. it happened more than 65 years ago
observer ,   Jerusalem/Palestine   (03.22.11)
what the hell is wrong with you people, the holocaust happened very long time ago, you should get over it and stop making innocent people pay for what hitler did!!
40. Having lived in Norway for 7 years now, I am coming home to
Fred ,   Oslo / Hamilton Can.   (03.23.11)
Canada now. I am a none Jewish Canadian, but nevertheless, the amount of anti-Semitism to which I was exposed in this Scandinavian country has been enough for me to find Norwegian society disgusting.
41. Israel should establish its bona fides
seth   (03.23.11)
Any MK who denies the Nabka should be expelled first, then Israel would have the moral authority to moan about others. Clean up you own act first or shut up.
42. #36
I care ,   US   (03.23.11)
What in the world are you babbling about? Who elected you to be the arbiter of history and what people should do and feel about the unspeakable horrors perpetrated against the Jews? Who decided that fools like you and #6 are in charge of any action to be taken or not, in defense of the Jewish nation? You are not the only ones who lost family, and you and your ilk, are not in charge of my response or path of action to make sure it never indeed happens again, in spite of cowards like you and your pal #6.
43. #39
I care ,   US   (03.23.11)
First, there is no place called Jerusalem, Palestine. It is Jerusalem, Israel. If you want to go live in Palestine, I think it's called Jordan these days, ask your fat little King about that. Second, it would be very convenient to you and your rabble to have everyone forget the Jewish Shoah...catastrophe to you chum, what you have hijacked and now capy cat call your Nabka. Third, no matter how you whine, and deny the fact that your forebears were involved up to their eyeballs in cahoots with Hitler and his plans for the Jews, too bad, facts are facts. Face them if you have the stones as a man. And fourth, when we we say it will never happen again, believe us.
44. Never Forget
Martin ,   New York   (03.23.11)
My 3 brothers and sisters were murdered in Belzec before their 13th bithday because they were Jews. I will NEVER forget that, "observer," and that is why I passionately support the Jewish State of Israel whose capital is Jerusalem.
45. This guy was convicted for Fraud
k ,   US   (03.23.11)
How come all the Jew haters are also Criminals, EVERY Jew hater whether it is Mel Gibson or David Duke has some kind of criminal record
46. No evidence Palestinian people existed...
PO ,   Ramat Gan, IL   (03.23.11)
... so all the claim of those arabs living in Gaza and Judea are unconsistent and with all probabilities are a bribery. As a very notable Arab said once: "Palestinian people is an invention"
47. Why do you write that this man is a Norwegian lawmaker?
K.I.Haaland ,   Norway   (03.23.11)
Why do you write that this man is a Norwegian lawmaker? This is both insulting to Norwegians and fake information. This man is not a Norwegian Lawmaker. He belongs to a small minority in the north and is a member of the Sametinget. Sametinget is not making laws in Norway, but they handle cases to help with advices in taking care of their minority situation. It is also false to claim that he is a member of Arbeiderpartiet, because he has not even paid his membership fee. I think he has lost his political influence in Norway after his awful statement. It is better to look at all your Norwegian friends, than collecting your enemies. We admire you. All the best from Kjersti
48. #39
A Shvitzer ,   Israel   (03.23.11)
What the hell is wrong with you?65 years ago is not a long time ago .There are people alive today that survived the holocaust , it is a recent tragedy for the Jewish people.By the way don't you ever use the word "You people", you sound like an antisemite.A friend of Salma maybe?
49. #39 - it happened more than 62 years ago
SensibleMD ,   Beersheva   (03.23.11)
what the hell is wrong with you people, Israel was lawfully established by the international community a very long time ago, you should get over it and stop making innocent people pay by refusing to peacefully coexist.
50. 14Charles, do me a favor don t ...
ORA ,   Jerusalem   (03.23.11)
write me anymore.
51. 39 happened 65 years ago to my..
ORA ,   Jerusalem   (03.23.11)
mother.Should i forget?
52. I don't believe the Nazis ever set foot in Norway..
(03.23.11)
53. Comment to #1, #17 #37
Johs ,   Norway   (03.23.11)
I also live in Norway, and I am Norwegian. I completely agree with #1 and #17. The left side in the politics have more or less "control" of the media (even conservative newspapers), so it is not easy to find the "real thruth" when following the news in Norway - most people only listen to or read the info from norwegian media, so I think a LOT of people do not really know what is going on in Israel! #37: I think you are also right - it is a scary development... The same kind of problems appear all over Scandinavia I think. I used to be a proud Norwegian, but I am not so sure if there is so much to be proud of anymore...
54. Norway is resurrecting Herr Quisling
Gobbo   (03.23.11)
Another Quisling rears his ugly head. Norway needs to address this flaw in its national character.
55. Holocaust Denial
Ric ,   Gosport, UK   (03.23.11)
Isn't holocaust denial a crime these days? It certainly is in Germany and Austria. Will anyone prosecute this man?
56. No. 39
NYC Girl   (03.23.11)
There are people who still accuse the Jews of killing Christ. Have you told them it happened over 2,000 damned years ago...so get over it? And as far as your being an "observer", what you've obviously been observing is the interior of your rear end. It's time you got your head out of your ass.
57. for #6
Mike caton ,   usa   (03.23.11)
I totally agree. Almost all of my mother's family perished in the Holocaust. Now is the time to prevent overly rich, insular, too comfortable, smug , self-righteous countries like Norway and Sweden from facilitating a second holocaust.
58. Shoah never happened
mary cashman ,   Portland, OR USA   (03.23.11)
Hmmm, I remember the pictures at t he end of WWII. As a ten year old I was shocked that such horror existed! How can he deny it?
59. Send Norway's PM to Austria where he will be charged and
Rivkah   (03.23.11)
convicted and sent to prison for denying the holocaust of Jews.
60. #39 you are an ass-----.
noa ,   israel   (03.23.11)
It happened. Maybe you should do some research, and you will understand why, even though we would love to forget, we can't. Who wants to remember such a thing? It is a responsibility, for both the victim and the perpetrayer.
