Jews Under Attack in Norway

Only about 1,300 Jews live in Norway, but because of the tensions and the current events in the Middle East, they are at risk of being attacked. The Norwegian newspaper Vårt Land reports that a Jew was assaulted by Arabs in the streets of Oslo last Saturday. In response, The Mosaic Community in Oslo has sent out a recommendation to its members to leave the kippah at home, or cover it under a cap. It is also warning its members against speaking Hebrew in public. During the past few days the Community has received several threats and other unpleasant messages.

The Jewish journalist Mona Levin declared she was shocked by the Mosaic Community's recommendations. In a reaction she said she was going to wear her Star of David again: "We should not hide that we are Jewish. If we do that, we betray ourselves."

At the same time, the cartoonist Finn Graff published an anti-Israeli cartoon in the popular Norwegian newspaper Dagbladet. The cartoon shows Israel's Prime Minister Ehud Olmert as a Nazi commander in the concentration camp of Auschwitz. The scene comes from the movie Schindler's List, in which the commander shoots down a random Jew from his balcony. For the sake of clarity: Finn Graff is the same cartoonist who declared only half a year ago that he would not draw a cartoon about Muhammad out of fear and "respect." Apparently he has no problems with his fear, nor does he need to show any respect when he can insult Jews or Israel, or Christians for that matter.

Is is just me, or are Moslems getting to be a problem?

Sometimes the smaller an ethnic minority, the more at risk of attack they are--strength in numbers and all.

"...leave the kippah at home, or cover it under a cap. It is also warning its members against speaking Hebrew in public."

What would need to be done in Norway if they were attacking blacks? Paint themselves white?

[commonguymd]

Not just you. Huge problem.

[HiTech RedNeck]

Less than 2000 Jews in the whole of Norway. (I bet they have more American Indians than that.) And yet the venom is so intense. Mad Mo would be SOOOOO proud.

I shall withold my comment yet the Moslems/Muslims are showing their own hands

[HiTech RedNeck]

A cap by itself suffices to meet the religious requirement. But yeah, the hate is reaching plasma heat.

[PeteB570]

muslims attacking Jews?

I would say that is the natural state of death cult members.

Even in Norway their true colors show.

[HiTech RedNeck]

When every single Jew is gone from Norway, wanna guess who they'll go after next?

[DustyMoment]

Apparently, the Euroweenies failed to learn anything from WWII and Hitler's Nazi Germany. The past is prologue.

Norway's finance minister must be happy—the one who called for a boycott of Israel a while ago. You reap what you sow, I suppose.

[mainepatsfan]

And yet the Muzzies probably think they're secretly running the government.

[HiTech RedNeck]

I looked, and it's not even clear why they wanted to boycott Israel. They talk like it's a matter of common knowledge that nobody needs to explain.

[Vaquero]

The general European reaction to what happened 60+ years ago where a madman tried to eliminate a whole religious/ethnic group, is now out of control.

By being so sensitive to ethnic groups they have allowed the sick, perverted, demonic cult, known as Islam to terrorize and overpower the majority.

Article: The Jewish journalist Mona Levin declared she was shocked by the Mosaic Community's recommendations. In a reaction she said she was going to wear her Star of David again: "We should not hide that we are Jewish. If we do that, we betray ourselves."

Good for her.

Wearing a yellow Star of David sends a clear rebuke.

Rub their noses in it.

Doesn't sound like it's only muzzies that are the problem. "cartoonist Finn Graff" - doesn't sound awfully Arabic?

How twisted is a cartoon that depicts the Israeli leader as a Nazi concentration camp butcher? Sounds (looks!) like a call to ''open season on jews' to me.

Europe remains antisemitic to a dangerous degree...

[AngelesCrestHighway]

Muslims in Norway...HMMMM?...Is the invasion any more obvious?

[monocle]

My wife's family are all Norwegians living in Norway. Many years ago a cousin stayed with us before entering Penn State to work on his Master's Degree and was highly critical of the US in its treatment of African-Americans. While at Penn State he lived in an area with a large African-American population. He stayed with us again before returning to Norway and it was apparent that he have become more bigoted than anyone I had met before that time.

Within the last two years my wife's twin brothers and her niece visited for two weeks and talks with the niece were indeed interesting. The niece was obviously brainwashed with ill-formed opinions about racism, especially as purportedly exists in the US and the Mideast. Since the niece is quite fluent in English, I provided her with definitons of "racist" and "racism" from Websters Dictionary and pointed out that by those definitions what she was being taught was itself racist,particularly as regards to Iraelis and Palestinians. When she finally understood my point, she was almost speechless.

What? Don't they have to wear yellow stars yet?
