Sydsvenskan and Norrköpings Tidningar pretend not to understand what we are telling them – so we try again
Last night I was watching CNN live broadcasting from Gaza, with Anderson Cooper on the spot and Wolf Blitzer in Jerusalem. The media big shots are the media equivalent of Israel’s guns. Only the real guns are used to defend people. CNN’s are used destructively. They utilize the bombs to make their own show; the […]
The New Antisemitism has arrived in Norway in full force. The decision to decorate a notorious antisemite and Khomeini-supporter, Tron Ali Linstad, is a telling sign of how deeply embedded antisemitism has become.

The King and his Government however […]
In so many words state prosecutors Svein Holden and Inga Bejer Engh stated that there was substantive doubt about Anders Behring Breivik’s sanity. That left them no choice. They had to plead for unaccountability. Ever since the first two psychiatrists presented their report 29th of November last year, a debate has raged in Norway. A […]
First day in court of the Brevik-case was a shattering experience. All Norwegians have read and heard the account of the attacks many times.
