1. genuine?
chris (munich)   (09.02.15)
Of course the stereotype of the mean Jew is outrageous racist nonsense, but the serial number on the card makes me wonder whether this really happened.
2. Not sure what is more sickening
Tim ,   Brighton   (09.02.15)
The obscene image on the card or the spokesmans ineffectual and feeble 'explanation' and mock 'surprise' Is this yet another 'quite innocent' coincidental one off 'error' and example of viscious Jew Baiting or something sadly more iniquitous and institutionalised in Norwegian Society?
3. It's the very tiny issues like this that stress the enormity
(09.02.15)
of Europe's present slide towards Dark Ages.
4. "we're sooooooooooooooooooo sorry......
tiki ,   belgium   (09.02.15)
It was an oversight, a technical glitch, an error, it sometimes happens (but only with Israel/Jews), we don't understand, it's not our fault, excuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuus, Well Europe & Norway.... it's payback time. The 'rich Jews will go to Israel while Europe will turn into Gaza and then everybody will have what it prayed for. Europe will be Jew free, "Palestine" will be freed and Israel gets the rich & intelligent European Jews to make it even better a stronger.
5. Photoshopped? M&T isn't in Norway
Yosef ,   Maale Adumim   (09.02.15)
The original card is from DNB bank in Norway. The card in this story is an M&T card. Did someone in the US also order a similar card?
6. # 4 Tiki well said!!
BUILD BABY BUILD!!   (09.02.15)
Poor European's I almost feel sorry for them. Almost but, not really. They deserve one another may they all learn to live with their heads on their shoulders. ( like that's gonna happen) BUILDING AND KICKING ASS!
7. Has anyone seen a genuine card with 12345678910?
(09.02.15)
8. This is a fake story, names of banks used fake, Can YNET
mike in monaco   (09.02.15)
afford a lawsuit from a giant national bank? What is the source of this story?
9. M&T Bank is American - this seems like a hoax
Ktoto ,   Israel   (09.02.15)
I agree with Chris and Yosef. In the words of ex-Mayor Bloomberg, "Who writes this #@$%?"
10. Genuine? Certainly not that in the picture
Mark ,   Warsaw   (09.02.15)
The original card (as presented on other websites) was issued by DNB in the name of a certain Mr Alexander Joseph Beckett, and features a mirror version of the same picture. This one is a meme intended to amuse people. Hoax or not, the idea apparently has caught on...
11. Other sites show the card
Jake ,   haifa   (09.02.15)
Other sites show what appears to be a real card, attached to the mail from the correct bank, with the number covered up but with the real name of the client, who complained. You can find this on facebook very easily or in other news sites. As for this being an "error", oh please. I am sure someone at the bank, perhaps one of our Muslim friends, got a very good laugh out of this.
12. howler this
Cameron ,   USA   (09.03.15)
You have to admit. The imagery is so overboard classic.
13. It is not about who is responsible
Zyx ,   UX   (09.03.15)
Maybe the bank is not responsible but the fact that a Norwegian guy had this sick idea tells a lot about how pervasive antisemitism is in Norway.
14. #2 ,...
split   (09.03.15)
Who's image would you like to see on credit card that fits better than the one presented?
15. #13 it was an Australian guy not a Norwegian after this card
(09.05.15)
16. #14 split
Michael ,   Haifa   (09.06.15)
Maybe your picture, undergoing decapitation.treatment, by Daesh. While I have agreed with many of your past anti-Israeli comments, when they are justified, this time you have clearly revealed yourself as a genuine antisemite.
17. #16:Michel,no need to come out of the "total imbecile-closet
(09.07.15)
by admitting to agree with an antisemite(Split) with papers to prove it. Your own postings have made it obvious for anyone with an ounce of integrity & patriotism, that you're playing with one Joker too many....
18. Europe does NOT like us.
Ex oleh chadash ,   Brazil   (09.08.15)
Years ago, I came to an Air France office near TLV to change my ticket; when I entered into the office , I listened to two French women making jokes about Jews - I understand some French very well, It's close to my native language - so, they felt embarrassed and talked to each other, just to let me hear: "we are talking about orthodox Jews... not all Jews". That's it. Hypocrisy. Stuff , crowd, blow up your country with Muslims and good luck.
19. norway
dan fraank ,   montreal canada   (09.19.15)
What do you expect from a country that let the Germans walk all over them in WW2 showing 0 resistance ? A country of collaborators .
20. NORWAY
connie mack ,   camden   (09.20.15)
Hi readers young and old, left and right, men and woman, Let us have a lottery: To enter you pledge 10 NIS to the pot. Each contestant submits the hour that former Minister and Prime Ministerial wannabe Yair Lapid will post a face book or tweet accusing Prime Minister Netanyahu of being responsible for the formerly Jewish loving Norwegians choosing to depict the Jews in a manner that would make both Hitler and Stalin proud. Winner takes all. If no one wins, the money goes to a non-profit organization which aids IDF personnel who were disabled in the defense of Israel. cm
