You have outdid yourself with your preposterous fiction! There used to be a saying "you can't make this stuff up" but you have proven it wrong: You CAN make this stuff up...and you do! Prove one (1) fact in your ridiculous diatribe. One.

Thank you for letting us know that Norway is not homogeneous. And I'm sure your family member will never be forgotten by those that he/she helped save. Peace.
64. Three Cheers For Norway

Time for Antisemites in the Norwegian government and populace to pin Antisemitic Pride Buttons on their breasts and walk around shirtless all day. After all, why try to hide something that has become virtually endemic. Pin on the buttons, puff out the chests, and be proud.
65. #55. Cheeseburgers? Love em!
Tim ,   Brighton   (06.23.11)
Seriously though - I completely acknowledge that the vast majority of Norwegians see both sides of the the Israel and Palestine issue. That indeed is all I ask But when it comes to some of the Norwegian Political Elite, Academics and Media some of the Anti Israel and indeed Anti Jewish rhetoric is just shocking From personal experience in all my debates about Israel Palestine the most viscious personal Anti Jewish insults have been at different times from a Norwegian a Scot and an Irishman from the ROI - all Political Activists and Academics and all by the way Non Muslim Does make you wonder...

maybe ariana you would do well to take a refreshing course in english grammar before concentrating your efforts on the subject of antisemitism,!!!

You cannot even spell "can't." You're the last person on this Forum to correct spelling. You don't spell at all well yourself.

What are you going to do when the oil runs out? What are you going to do when useless, not terribly thrifty and lazy Arabs and Moslems start really draining your social services networks? When they start allowing their neighborhoods to turn into slums? Go back to making brown cheese and bakalao, that's what. By the way, eight Norwegian shipping companies (four of them quite large) have gone bankrupt in the last six months. Tourism is down (the fjords are pretty, but -- there's a limit to the number of times you can visit them), the banks (chiefly Nordea) is not doing at all well (in stark contrast to its Finnish counterpart) and things are not as rosy for the kingdom as you think.
69. Agree with #10
Beary White ,   Norway   (06.23.11)
You describes the situation correct. Norway has become a breeding craddle for islam, their members multplies in tousands because of the child explosion. The latest five years the most popular name for new-born babies in Oslo is Muhammed. So, the immigration is orcestrated by leftist politician, in this way they "buys" vote for the elections held every forth year. And the funny thing for these leftist-politician, they are not aware of that they actually destroy their own home country. The most funny thing is the name for the new islamic school in Oslo, School of peace. Make me laugh :-)
70. #58 "the dual loyalty canard"
Fallbrook ,   UK   (06.24.11)
Diederik S, from Beligium, accuses people who complain about rude standup comedians of stifling debate about Israel, insists Jews are loyal primarily to Israel, and harangues Jews for highlighting racism. I think we all know what type of person Diederik S is.

Fallbrook ,   UK   (06.24.11)
"the immigration is orcestrated by leftist politician, in this way they "buys" vote for the elections held every forth year." I thought this symptom was unique to Britain but it seems to be a systemic trend with leftist governments.
72. # 52 you are not surprising at all
J.K. ,   Brooklyn USA   (06.24.11)
what are you blabbering about ? the reason Stalin killed Raul Walenberg, was, because Walenberg saved Jews,Stalin was not a Zionist,rather,he was an Antisemite like you,Bernadotte was killed because he was a forerunner of the muslim brotherhood in sweden,he was not neutral,he sided with the arabs,the soviets didn't need collaborators to subdue the Finns,the Finns as courageous as they were,were no match to the red army,the reason that i respond to your venom,is because some uninformed people may take you seriously,you are the one who is trying to stab Jews and Israel all the time ,i don't understand ynet,why do they provide you with a platform.

"The reason why I think that Norway is antisemitic is due to their adherence to the strict lessons at school of Lutheranism. " What? I went to school in Norway and never got any sense of antisemmetism during our school, I'd rather say it was quite opposite. I was SO proud when my mother told me we have jewish roots from eastern europe! :) The reason for the antisemmetism in Norwegian schools today, is because most of the norwegian jews live in Oslo, and Oslo is also where all the muslims have gathered. And they are subjected to alot of "palestinian" propaganda.

81. Anti-Semitism
Andre ,   USA   (07.22.11)
If anti-semitism is on the rise put the blame where it belongs. On Zionism and Israel the two greatest enemy's of the Jewish people.
82. anti-semitism in Norway
william alexander ,   new york, USA   (07.27.11)
American Jews are going to boycott Norway. No more travel to Norway and no more spending money on Norwegian products.
83. Apology?
Moisha Kapoir ,   Nanuet USA   (01.27.12)
Al Chet means I am sorry and I will sin no more. Norway Today to: survey by the Oslo Municipality found that 33% of Jewish students in the town are physically threatened or abused by other high school teens at least two to three times a month. Apology is obviously not worth anything.
