Where Anders Behring Breivik came from

Here's an interesting video that might give some indication of where Anders Behring Breivik came from. The video is a bit long - 18 minutes - but it's worth watching in full.

Let's go to the videotape (Hat Tip: Israellycool).

Norway has banned Kosher animal slaughter since before the Nazis

The Norwegian government may be sorry today that they messed with Caroline Glick. And although she explicitly did not ask for one, they might consider an apology. Glick gives us a contemporary history lesson about Norwegian anti-Semitism. In a 2006 report on Jew hatred in contemporary Norwegian caricatures published by the Jerusalem Center for Public Affairs, Erez Uriely noted among other things

Barry Rubin responds to Norway

In Sunday's JPost, Barry Rubin responds to the attacks on him by Norway's Foreign Minister and Deputy Foreign Minister. The Norwegian government and media establishment is not ready to have an honest discussion of these issues. Instead, my article was misrepresented in order to stir up a frenzy that closed ears and shut eyes to what I was saying. Indeed, the Norwegian newspaper Dagbladet falsely

Rabbi Elazar Abuhatzeira, Leiby Kletzky and the Utoya massacre

Many tragedies have befallen the Jewish people over the last few months. Two in particular have caused particular consternation.In Brooklyn three weeks ago, almost-nine-year old Leiby Kletzky was kidnapped and murdered by a man whom he trusted because he appeared to be Haredi (ultra-Orthodox) just like him. And last Thursday night in Be'er Sheva, Rabbi Elazar Abuhatzeira, one of the generation's

Disgraceful: JPost apologizes to Norway

We are left, mouths agape, wondering whether an editorial like the one above would have been written a couple of months ago when David Horowitz was the JPost's editor-in-chief. I suspect not. The editorial squarely condemned the attack, saying that “as Israelis, a people that is sadly all too familiar with the horrors of indiscriminate, murderous terrorism, our hearts go out with empathy to the

Norwegian Foreign Minister attacks Barry Rubin

Norwegian Foreign Minister Jonas Gahr Store has attacked Professor Barry Rubin for allegedly labeling as 'pro-terrorist' the Utoya youth camp, at which 76 young people were murdered by a normal Norwegian boy. I'll come to Barry's response in a minute, but first let's look at what Store said (via Daily Kos, which takes the opportunity to pile on and bash Barry).For a somewhat more nuanced

'A normal Norwegian boy'

Anders Behring Breivik didn't need any of the Right wing thinkers and bloggers that the Left is trying to tag with the blame for his bombing in Oslo and shooting rampage on Utoya Island. He came to it all by himself. In fact, his father was a Norwegian diplomat who was affiliated with the same Labor party whose youth movement members were targeted by Breivik. For many Norwegians, still numbed by

Norway reacts to the Oslo syndrome

On Monday, I did a post entitled the Oslo syndrome, which was partly based upon a post by Barry Rubin of the same name. Barry reports on the Norwegian reaction to his original post. I have received three letters from Norway shocked and angry [along with one that understands my theme and provides additional information reinforcing it.] that I allegedly wrote that the victims of the terrorist

The Oslo Syndrome

What happens when people start to believe that depending upon the cause, terrorism might be okay?Here's an interview done by Australian television with Adrian Pracon, a survivor of the Utoya Island attack, and the country secretary of Norway's Labor party. The key part is around the 11:00 mark, but if you miss it, don't worry, because I've reproduced a summary of it below.Let's go to the

Fatah Youth participated in Norwegian summer camp

It turns out that the Fatah Youth organization had participated for the last 15 years in the Norwegian summer camp at Utoya where 76 teenagers were murdered last week. But the 'Palestinians' weren't there last Friday. The Fatah Youth group had taken part in the summer camp in the past on the Island of Utoya, near Oslo, where over 90 people were reportedly killed in a shooting spree on the Island

Time for Norwegians to learn a lesson?

Norwegian ambassador to Israel Svein Sevje told Maariv this week that 'Palestinian terrorism' against Israel is more justified than terrorism against Norwegians. Perhaps it's time for Norwegians to wake up and smell the coffee? This is from Alan Dershowitz. The causes of terrorism are multifaceted but at bottom they have a common cause: namely, a belief that violence is the proper response to

Norwegian Jews worry they will be blamed for Breivik

Norwegian Jews are expressing concern over the possibility that they could be blamed for last Friday's rampage by xenophobe Anders Behring Breivik. Yet even as they mourn along with their fellow countrymen, some Jews here are quietly expressing concern that the attack by a right-wing xenophobe who apparently sympathized with Israel may further mute pro-Israel voices in Norway, where anti-Zionist

Why a circumcision ban might be good for the Jews

As many of you are already aware, San Francisco has an item on the ballot this year that would make performing a bris (circumcision) within the city limits a crime. Dennis Prager says it might be good for the Jews if that initiative passed. If the most left-wing major city in America starts arresting Jews who have their children circumcised there, some American Jews might awaken to the threat to

Norwegian ambassador to Israel justifies 'Palestinian' terrorism

If you love Israel, then I guarantee you that after you read this post, you won't feel sorry for Norway anymore. Svein Sevje said in an Israeli newspaper interview Tuesday that while the Norwergian bomb and gun rampages that killed 76 people and Palestinian attacks should both be considered morally unacceptable, he wanted to "outline the similarity and the difference in the two cases."

If Breivik is 'Islamophobic' why did he target blonde, blue-eyed Norwegians?

I have not seen anywhere a list of those murdered by Anders Behring Breivik in Norway last Friday. But as I have noted, the mainstream media is playing up this incident as an instance of 'Islamophobia.'Is there a connection between those two sentences? I suspect that there is. I suspect that the reason that the list of those who were murdered has not been released is because there was not a

Turkey mentioned many times in Breivik manifesto

Turkey's Today's Zaman describes Norwegian terrorist Anders Behring Breivik as 'obsessed with Turkey' (Hat Tip: Joshua I). There are 237 references to Turks and Turkey in the manifesto, but this number does not take into account the many other references to Ottoman history (written mostly focusing on the state of religious minorities) and the Seljuk Empire. He accuses the Ottoman Turks of

A boost for the Islamists

The Norwegian terror attacks have turned into an excuse to beat up on conservative, anti-Islamist bloggers. In a disgraceful piece written this morning, the New York Times all but blames Robert Spencer, Baron Bodissey and Pam Geller for the Oslo attacks. In the document he posted online, Anders Behring Breivik, who is accused of bombing government buildings and killing scores of young people at a

The failures of multiculturalism

In an editorial in Monday's paper, the Jerusalem Post urges that Friday's tragedy in Norway not be allowed to shut off criticism of the failures of multiculturalism. Undoubtedly, there will be those – particularly on the Left – who will extrapolate out from Breivik’s horrific act that the real danger facing contemporary Europe is rightwing extremism and that criticism of multiculturalism is

Norway''s double tragedy

Bruce Bawer explains why Friday's terror attacks in Norway are a double tragedy (Hat Tip: Instapundit). It is chilling to read my own name in postings by this mass murderer. And it is deeply depressing to see this evil, twisted creature become the face of Islam criticism in Norway. Norwegian television journalists who in the first hours of the crisis were palpably uncomfortable about the

Video: Swedish Algerian reporter blames Norway attack on Mossad

Swedish - Algerian journalist Yahya Abu Zakariya tells Iranian television that the Mossad is responsible for the Iranian attacks. Let's go to the videotape. Sounds just like Moondoweiss, doesn't he?
