Summer Camp? Antisemitic Indoctrination Training Center

290

“Some of my friends tried to stop him by talking to him. Many people thought that it was a test … comparing it to how it is to live in Gaza.” Eyewitness statement the day of the shooting. (ABC News)

The day of the Norway shooting, I was blindsided by one of the survivor’s statements to the press immediately after the shooting (see above). It was so outside the box, I thought it was the kneejerk response of an anti-semite in shock. I didn’t blog on it because I thought it anecdotal, badly anecdotal. But the more that is revealed about that youth indoctrination center, the more grotesque the whole story becomes. Of course, the genocidal leftists will twist what I write here; I am not condoning the slaughter in Norway or anywhere. I abhor violence (except in regard to self defense). But the jihad-loving media never told us what antisemitic war games they were playing on that island. Utoya Island is a Communist/Socialist campground, and they clearly had a pro-Islamic agenda.

Only the malevolent media could use the euphemism summer camp and get away with it.

Story continues below advertisement

The slaughter was horrific. What these kids were being taught and instructed to do was a different kind of grotesque. There is no justification for Breivik’s actions whatsoever. There is also no justification for Norway’s antisemitism and demonization of Israel.

Here is what the Anti-Mullah has on the conference:

ANOTHER LOOK AT THE NORWAY LABOR PARTY PALESTINIAN AFFILIATION

posted by The Anti-Mullah

Labour Youth League summer camp at Utøya got the Labour Party’s young hopefuls a visit by Foreign Minister Jonas Gahr Store.

The Palestinians “must have their own state, the occupation must end, the wall must be demolished and it must happen now,” said the Norwegian Foreign Minister to cheers from the audience.

The main activity at the Utoya Island Meeting were mock “Break the Israel blockade” games. One event was Palestinian aide boats would try to break the Israel blockage.The sign says “defeat the blockade” (opphev blokkaden – Gaza)

Utoya camp was not Islamist but it WAS something not much more wholesome (by our standards, at any rate).

It was a summer indoctrination camp run by Norway’s ruling Labor Party for up-and-coming children of the ruling elite.

 

Glen Beck was not far off when he compared it to the Hitlerjugend or Young Pioneers.

It’s so the junior members of the aristocracy can be properly told what to think and can network with each other in preparation for their brilliant careers ruling over the peasants.

I saw at least one article that had photos of previous summers with the little dearies and their handlers assembling Israel-bashing displays.

We Americans had similar traditions further back in the twentieth-century. The likes of David Horowitz and Ronald Radosh have written of the red-diaper summer camps their parents sent them to.

There are still institutions such as the “Midwest Academy” where budding labor activists go get schooled in labor and community organizing over the summer.

Not to mention the many religiously-oriented summer camps that have long been a cultural staple.


The camp was run by the Youth Movement of the Labour Party and used to indoctrinate teens and young adults.

Breivik was targeting the future leaders of the party responsible for flooding Norway with Muslims who refuse to assimilate, who commit major violence against Norwegian natives, including violent gang rapes, with impunity, and who live on the dole… all done without the consent of the Norwegians.

The day before the shooting, a pro-Palestinian rally was held. LINK

In an interesting article Breivik and totalitarian democrats in which Sevje, the Norwegian ambassador to Israel is quoted:  Totalitarian Democrats CLICK HERE 

“Ma’ariv asked Sevje whether in the wake of Breivik’s terrorist attack Norwegians would be more sympathetic to the victimization of innocent Israelis by Palestinian terrorists.

Sevje said no, and explained, “We Norwegians view the occupation as the reason for terror against Israel. Many Norwegians still see the occupation as the reason for attacks against Israel. Whoever thinks this way, will not change his mind as a result of the attack in Oslo.”

The author of the article notes:

“So in the mind of the illiberal Norwegians [the Labour Party], terrorism is justified if the ideology behind it is considered justified.

For them it is unacceptable for Breivik to murder Norwegian children, because his ideology is wrong. But it is acceptable for Palestinians to murder Israeli children, because their ideology is right.”

ALSO take a closer look at the progression of Islam in the UK! There are now SHARIA CONTROLLED ZONES spreading across the country.

Only days after a deranged Anders Breivik claimed creeping Islamization of Norway as an excuse for cold-bloodedly murdering 76 people, the majority of which were children, a group of British Muslim extremists have seemingly mocked the tragedy by hanging bright yellow posters in several London boroughs declaring them “Sharia-controlled zones.”
One has to wonder about the timing.

Pasted on bus stops and street lamps, the posters have appeared in the London boroughs of Waltham Forest, Tower Hamlets and Newham. The message they convey is that there is to be “no gambling,” “no music or concerts,” “no porn or prostitution,” “no drugs or smoking” and “no alcohol” in the areas where the posters are displayed. The warning at the top reads: “You are entering a Sharia-controlled zone – Islamic rules enforced.” The messages are going up in both Muslim and non-Muslim-majority areas and are expected to appear country-wide.

“We now have hundreds, if not thousands of people up and down the country willing to go out and patrol the streets for us,” said Anjem Choudary, 41, the Muslim “preacher” claiming responsibility for the poster campaign.

A former lawyer, Choudary says that besides addressing “the sort of thug life attitude you get in British cities,” the campaign’s goal is also “to put the seeds down for an Islamic Emirate in the long term.” Choudary heads the banned radical Islamist group Islam4UK and has advocated for a Sharia-ruled Great Britain.

UPDATE: Blazing Cat Fur has this:  Hat tip Jane

“Norway today is, in fact, one of the most antisemitic countries in Europe, and much of the impetus for this hostility to Jews and to Israel has come not only from Muslim sources but from the ruling Labor Party and its supporters.”

And Cif this:  The Sad Song Of Norway: Its Antisemitic Refrain

Mrs. Geller, I don’t understand. Are you trying to justify Breivik’s actions? So it’s ok to murder people only because they are anty-israeli and pro-multiculti?
I don’t like leftist too, but I think that this time you went too far. 🙁
Why do you call Anjem Choudary as an example of islamisation? Don’t you know that this guy and his fellows live in fantasy world, where they have milion supporters? They must do it, because reality is so sad for them – they don’t have more than 50 people, who are ready to support him actively. Those “hundreds, if not thousands of people up and down the country willing to go out and patrol the streets for us” exist only in Choudary’s mini-brain.
Here is a photo of one of the biggests demonstrations made by Choudary & Friends (lol).

Madame Atlas, minor typo. In German, “young” or “young [boy]” or “a youth” are spelled jung/Junge, but “youth” in the abstract is spelled “Jugend” rather than “Jungend.” Sorry to be an editorial pain and cheers.
I had initially criticized Beck for his comments as I had understood the camp to be much more generic. It’s not uncommon in central Europe for both center-left and center-right party youth organizations to have social activities that aren’t indoctrination; they perform social functions comparable to summer camp, the Boy Scouts or synagogue/church summer programs here. But on seeing this evidence I have to roll back my criticism of Beck at least in part. Granted enrollment in the Hitler Youth was mandatory/automatic by law and in the Young Pioneers pretty much the same, but these folks didn’t get together in order to learn forestry or how to tie knots. Obviously my condolences to the families of the dead and my best wishes for rapid recovery to the living.

Well done for publishing what the mainstream media are too scared to. We now have a situation where the leftie media are milking every last drop of the victims blood for political gain and to intimidate any opposition into silence.
This tragedy, which is actually about a deranged psychopath on mind altering steroids murdering unarmed teenagers has twisted out of recognition to become a full frontal assault on all anti jihad groups and individuals.
What is really sad and inexcusable is that the Labour Party of Norway (and their socialist beliefs) have appointed themselves as victims above the actual murder victims and their families. Hopefully placing themselves above criticism. Unfortunately it’s working.

Pam, I cannot condone mass murder. Yes, this was an indoctrination camp for SOCIALIST (not liberal) ideology. Yes, these kids were being turned into supporters of the global jihad. But, in a society where there is give-and-take, and openness to truth is valued, many a socialist at 19 is a staunch capitalist fifteen years later. It’s called growing up.
Go to an American campus and see all the Free Tibet bumper stickers, for example. A generation ago, the parents of those kids, staunch pacifists all, would’ve broken your glasses and nose with them for daring to suggest that Mao Zedong was a colonialist in Tibet.
Had those Norwegian socialist kids lived, half of them would probably have learned a few things in a few years, and would have been libertarian adults.
I saw as well a kid who was obviously Sikh (black turban). I’m sure his parents would’ve set him straight about what the global jihad is all about! And, as for some of those fresh-faced indigenous Norwegians, a lot of their multi-culturalism would have surely died with the gang rape of one of their friends.
I teach a lot of Latin American immigrant kids. One boy from Panama used to come to school in a Che Guevara T-shirt. But, he got to be friends with another lad from eastern Bolivia, and the Che Guevara T-shirt disappeared.
And, as for Breivik: Mannen er en kriminell, ren og enkel.
This being said, I can’t help but note that the immoderate European Left did much to inculcate a psychology and culture of violent, lawless protest over the years.

Anjem Choudary’s goals are very realistic. The weakness of British society, the willingness to allow sharia courts and sharia law to exist in any form shows that Britain is a prime target for an Islamic takeover.
Revolutions are not created by majorities. They are created by a well organized and patient minority who have the dedication and willingness to sacrifice to achieve their goals.
It also does not hurt when the host country allows their people to be attacked with impunity by these so-called fringe groups.
You take too much for granted having lived in a free society all of your life. It can happen anywhere if the conditions allow for it.

So, Pamela, to the ruling Norwegian elitists “The end justifies the means”, eh? Where have we heard that before?
It appears the pro-Nazi, anti-Jewish feelings still doninate much of Norway. I wonder if we will ever find out how much of the activities on that island are funded by islamists?
It’s still tragic, but I don’t feel quite so sorry for them now.

Once an Islamo-Nazi country, always so … . Reminds me of Hitler Youth on steroids. Probably, a few of these teens had real misgivings about advocating for the destruction of The Jewish Homeland of Israel, but I would venture a guess that at least 75-95% would be glad to see all Jews sent to concentration camps. Let’s face it, that’s much of Europe for you … Islamo-Nazi-Opia. And one of their own just slapped ’em upside their heads big time. It was bound to happen.

Not in Scandinavia. The politicians they have today are the products of 50 years of socialist indoctrination. These are the people who gave Yasser Arafartbastard and other terrorist scum the Nobel price.
They also gave the Nobel price to O-putz, so please: grow up!

You people are living in your own little world. Norway is the best country in the world to live in, much thanks to “socialist” thinking. Its peaceful and beautiful, and so are its people.
You all have to realize that sites like these. These xenophobic, racist meanings that flourishes here, on these extreme right web sites, these are the ones that drove and inspired Breivik to do his act. Not muslims wanting to take over the world. You guys.
So take a step outside of your little ignorant world. Try to talk to a muslim. They’re just normal people.
And Norway don’t hate jews. It’s just that the state of Israel is being sort of a dick at times, simply put. And the nation try to promote peace and help in the international community.
Rant end. Love to you all.

Pamela – THANK YOU for publishing the truth about this camp!
Here’s my comments:
I would never condone murder, ever, and what happened at that place was a madman took a bunch of drugs, and murdered young people, like sitting ducks. It was TERRIBLE. But, it is NO secret, these are the children of the ruling left elite, of the Labour Party. And it is NO secret what this summer camp is all about. This is the party that wants a strong welfare state. It’s all about the socialism. And this is the party that encourages such a huge influx of muslims. The young people at this camp, just like muslim children that are being indoctrinated into the violence of their ideology, are being indoctrinated, too.
Does anyone think, for one minute, that there aren’t a whole LOT of people in Norway, who aren’t ANGRY? And frankly, RIGHTFULLY so, because their culture is being overtaken and minimized by thousands of muslims who refuse to integrate into the culture where they settle. It doesn’t matter where muslims go, it’s about taking over that culture, and forcing people to accept and live by THEIR rules. And the Labour Party in that country only encourages it.
Don’t think for ONE second that there won’t be other incidents like this, worldwide, if this stuff continues. And on a larger scale, why did Charles “The Hammer” Martel become famous? He was famous because he managed to drive back the invading muslim hordes from taking over Europe. Think someone like that won’t rise again? You can BET that will happen. It is only a matter of time. Was he a crazy person? Who knows, but he certainly managed to keep Europe intact, and drove the muslims back from whence they came!

Norway is NOT Denmark. Nor is The Netherlands. The Righteous Gentiles of Denmark have somehow been enlarged to the “righteous Gentiles of Scandinavia”. Not so! Recall that Quisling led a true domestic National Socialist Party. He had many adherents before Hitler invaded. The Dutch jubilantly turned in their Jewish neighbors. So let us be clear, Norway has nor record of moral bravery.
Imagine a Camp playing Gaza-support. Imagine this strange Viking Berserker who RIGHTLY sees the undying enmity between Jacob and Esau. He sees it but he cannot understand just what it is. A Christendom unanchored in actual Biblical teachings of Yeshua, as the Roman Church reigned, in fact is also Esau! Esau became Edom. Edom, according to Rabbinic Tradition is the Roman Empire/Church. Thus, this Aryan Berserker, is deeply confused. The ultimate irony is that The Vatican and Islam share the need to eradicate the living proof of the falseness of their doctrine: The Living Breathing Jewish People! Therefore Berserker, like Hitler and the Mufti are tactical allies!

In the early seventies, when the Bader Meinhof gang was blowing up department stores and US-facilities in Germany, I picked up some Swedish hitch-hikers from this camp. They spoke about the terrorists in loving terms, calling them “Andreas” and “Ulrike”.
I was not amused.
What Norway is breeding here are deluded Socialist blockheads that are no different from the Hitler youth, but one that doesn’t have an Arian outlook, race-mixing is desirable in this new Norway.
The Jew-hatred remains unchanged.

B*llshit. YOU are living in your OWN little world. Holding hands together, singing a heart felt chorus of Kum Ba Ya, isn’t going to make world peace happen.
My friend, spend some time in the Middle East. I’m a regular Western woman, and I am looked upon as a whore. It doesn’t matter that I run several successful businesses, and employ people, and pay my taxes, and own a home. It doesn’t matter that I come from a military family, and that most of the people in my family have served my country with dignity, honor and pride. It doesn’t matter. I am one thing and one thing only to those people. I am a whore. It is NO secret that muslim men like to engage in a little grabass on the streets of a whole LOT of Middle Eastern countries, because that’s all that we are. I’ve had to endure that lovely little act, hundreds of times. It isn’t fun, believe me.
And don’t EVEN start about Israel. I have spent many years going to and from there, and you have no idea what you are talking about. My friend, SPEND some time amongst those people. SPEND some time with the soldiers. Get to KNOW what’s going on there. Did you know that MOST of the Israeli Arabs don’t want a two state solution in Israel? They enjoy citizenship, and all that freedom offers them. They won’t get that in ANY other Middle Eastern country. NOT ONE.
So, you are saying that an ideology that not only encourages but EXPECTS the murder of all who are not muslim is a good thing? I guess you support the mutilation of women via clitorectomies. Or how about the stonings, amputations, beheadings, acid attacks, honor killings, and all the rest of the savage, abberant behavior that is sanctioned by Islam to be good thing?? I guess you support the killing of Coptic Christians in Egypt. I guess you support the muslim savages who brutally murdered a Jewish family while they slept in their beds, just a couple of months ago. I guess it’s okay with you that they cut off a 5 month old baby’s head when they slit her throat. A peacefully sleeping baby, and they BEHEADED her. All in the name of their ridiculous god. There have been 17,527 ISLAMIC terror attacks since 9/11. JUST for the week of July 23 – July 29, 163 people have been killed in the name of allah. That’s just in one WEEK!!
Until EVERY muslim rises up and says NO MORE to the murder, the violence, the savage behavior, they will not be trusted. Until they overhaul their murdering ideology, they will NEVER be accepted into the areas they settle. Never.
And sir, people like YOU are considered the worst of the worst. Those who do not FIGHT against Islam are considered weak and worthless. Believe me, you will be the first to have your head removed, if islam should ever get a total grip on your country.

It is sad that Pamela Geller encourages position that those who criticize Israel deserve to be killed or are not better than those who commit murder. Geller is Zionist supremacist, Islamophobe, and a woman who has been inciting violence for a long time. Israel is a fascist state built on ethnic cleansing, massacres, and oppression of Palestinians. Youth in Utoya and Norway stood for everything that was right – they stood for human rights.

Pure socialist crap. Bleivik is the product of the society he was raised in, but he had the intelligence to look past the socialist trappings and see the evil at its core. Norway is doomed. Its’ native population is declining, like most of Europe’s, and the only way the ruling party can maintain a dominant position is by increasing the number of immigrants from third world islamic countries who, in a few generations, will out-breed the native population (especially if each male is allowed 4 wives) and dominate every aspect of Norwegian life. In short, the termites will soon outnumber the people in the house. Unfortunately Bleivik chose to confront the problem in an unacceptable way by taking up arms instead of taking pen and paper (or computer and internet) and writing to warn his countrymen of their impending doom.
However, in doing so he has alerted the rest of the world to the anti-semitic sewer that his country has become.

There is a great difference between accepting people and their religion, and accepting acts of states, in particular states that are occupying foreing land, and blocking sources of food, healthcare and ordinary peoples travels ( or as it is, attempts to travel..) to get to work and earn a livelyhood for their families.
It is therefore quite possible to embrace jews and their religion and at the same time being against the state of Israels blokade of Gaza, and working for the upheaval of the blokade. Just as also Israelis work against the blokade, from their standpoint not accepting a wrong be done just because they benefit from it.
Namecalling of any kind, from any group, will not contribute to solve anything. One must be able to discuss political issues, whatever your standing, without calling people this or that. The youthorganization AUF is not either pro- islamistic or anti-jewish. AUF s political goals are freedom and equal opportunities for all. No matter your race, religion or who your father knows. In fact, AUF has on several summercamps and other gatherings invited BOTH palestinian and israeli youth. AUF has also at other times had visits from youth from other corners of the world, often states struggling towards democracy – especially Eastern Europe before the wall – the other one – fell. AUF is not very pro-walls, thats true. It has been very rewarding for all to have the opportunity to meet on common ground, play football, swim, dance – or just talk around the campfire between youth – the youth that will make our future.
Namecalling and judging groups of people without trying to get to know them or understand them is what Breivik was a representative for, in the same way as all extremists – wherever they come from, whether they be left- or rightwing, jew, muslim, hindu. Extremists are afraid, very afraid for the unknown – and hence also often a bit paranoid.
I’m a Norwegian lawyer, once member of AUF for the very same reason I decided to pursue law; everyone deserves a fair chance. I know that just because in Norway you get free healthcare for all and free education at all levels, in some parts of the world that is considered ” communist”. Often from countries that at some occasions have said to our prime minister or government officials; ” how can you accept that the newspapers write that about you. Make them stop!” That’s not how a democracy works….I’ve spent several camps on Utøya many years ago. Youth who had and have hopes and dreams for the future. AUF have never been indoctrinated. On the contrary, the mother party has both accepted and encouraged that AUF is an independant organization with its own opinions – often referred to as ” the salt of the party”. Beck isnt really able to insult anyone anymore. His own summercamp for his market values is, as I understand it, for kids 6-12 years old. You may call that indoctrination. Not youth aged 15-25, themselves in positions not only in their own organizations, but also elected by the people and “in office” in municipalities and government. Thats democracy. Even if you don’t agree with them.
I have met many and taken part in memorial services the last week. People from all of society of Norway are grieving, lefties, righties,in churches, temples and mosques, workplaces and prisons people are saddened and tearyeyed. But I still havent met anyone angry, crying out for more walls, more security, stricter laws. Everyone is unanymous: WE WON’T BE SILENCED BY TERROR. We will have a MORE open society, we will discuss political issues more openly. We will not press these extremist opinions under ground, we WILL listen to their arguments, and argue them asunder. We will NOT pass laws that will take away the democratic country we live in, killing the values we have in an attempt to save them. We will have MORE democracy, that is the only lasting way to peace. We will take back everyday life, take back Utøya and happy memories, we will stand up for the values of freedom, equal worth and togetherness.
One girl, member of AUF, said after the attack ” if one man can hate so much, imagine how much love we can have together”. Pamela, I disagree with you SO much, and I’m particularly uncomfortable with how you put labels on people. In my opinion, that is dangerous, and the exact problem ( well, one of them..) of the massmurderer. I think you should stop labelling, and – sorry to have to mention it, I think Israelis more than anyone should know how dangerous that is. BUT WE SHOULD ALL DISCUSS POLITICAL ISSUES. It’s OK TO DISAGREE. WE SHOULD ENCORAGE ALL TO SPEAK THEIR MIND. But if you want respect for your opinion, your religion, your point of view – then you have to respect others.
MORE OPENNESS. MORE DEMOCRACY. The massmurderer has already lost. He wanted to start a war. He just might have started peace.
Through the years I’ve been amazed how you can communicate also tough things to people. It’s how you say it that matters

If this website is responsible for Breivik, then maybe your government & your country’s mentality is responsible for “peaceful” and “beautiful” Norway turning into the rape capital of Europe – with ALL rapes in the past 5 years carried out by “non-Western immigrants”?
And what of the 17,000+ terrorist attacks carried out by Islamists since September 11, 2001? Surely the Islamic prophet Mohammed, and his holy book which just-so happen to say “fight the nonbelievers until they pay the tax” (9:29) should not be held responsible for these? No, because Muslims are “just normal people”… but I guess everyone clicking on this website is a monster about to put a bullet through a child’s head, right? Suddenly, stereotyping & generalisations become OK…
And yeah, Israel is a “sort-of dick” at times – one ofthe World’s tiniest countries committing the crime of trying to survive among neighbours from hell. As opposed to your brilliant police, who don’t bother trying to protect their people, but who stood idly by a few days before the shooting, when a Norwegian lady was being raped on the steps of parliament – preferring instead to watch it all on CCTV. Yes, the beautiful, peaceful, tolerant Norway… not! And I prefer to drink a beer for less than 10 Euros- somewhere where it doesn’t rain 24 hours a day.

I suppose Pam Geller would get an apoplectic shock if she ever as much as gazed at one of my family photoes.
Not only does it include people from all corners of the world, but also of all faiths.
Christian, Muslim, Buddhist, Jews and a vast majority of atheists.
My own son, a person that Pam Geller probably would hail as a true white because of his red hair, milky skin and blue eyes, is a mix of no less than 5 different races.
Utøya was, is and will be, the rallying point of those not afraid of different skin colours and faiths.
Not a brain washing farm as most here seem to think. But a place where you form opinions about politics by discussing, questioning and challenging even you own opinions.
Something that is very healthy, and something that most here could learn a lot from.
And should we go by the standard of judging here then the US should be a country of eternal slave owners, mass murderes, of perpetual genocide maniacs…… take your pick from your own history.
Personally I have been more than impressed with the dignity and level headedness with which the Norwegians have reacted to this disaster.
My sympathy and respect goes out to each and every one of them.
I am, if anything, more in awe of the Norwegian society than I already was.
Never forget “Kringsatt af fiender…”

Funny how when Muslims commit a terrorist attack, everyone jumps looking for “root causes” – but when Pamela writes, she just “hates”… we are dealing with a bunch of harmless bunnies, who wouldn’t hurt a fly, right? And who have every sympathy for those gunned down in similar fashion elsewhere in the world? Well, not unless they’re Jews from Israel, it seems… “hatred” towards them is perfectly OK.

“and a woman who has been inciting violence for a long time. Israel is a fascist state built on ethnic cleansing, massacres, and oppression of Palestinians. Youth in Utoya and Norway stood for everything that was right – they stood for human rights.”
highly ironic comment coming from what i assume is one of the norway lefty brigades, safely ensconced in his jew- hatred, on one hand he speaks of “inciting” violence, for what you ask?, simply pointing out the mock war games that were being run against the only Jewish state in the world, sanctioned by the ruling socialist party, whose ambassador to Israel, only a few days ago, justified Islamic terrorism against the Israeli state, because they “deserved it”. On the other hand here he is de-humanizing jews and Israeli’s, justifying murder and violence against them in the same breath, referring to the population of the only Democratic state in the Middle East as “fascist” and responsible for fictitious “massacres” and “Ethnic cleansing”, the only logical conclusion is that they must be punished themselves, according to his warped logic, what would you do then to these evil ethnic cleansing monsters mr Henrik?, perhaps put them in camps?, maybe have them “Ethnically cleansed” themselves?, That seems to be the logical conclusion to your statements, you are nothing better than the forebears of the Qusiling party, engaging in the incitement to mass-murder of Jew’s that your Grandparents/parents were all to keen in aiding and assisting

From Pamela Geller “hating”, to Pamela Geller being “morally responsible” for Breivik, and now Pamela Geller “encourages position that those who criticize Israel deserve to be killed”… this gets better and better. Seriously, what do you guys smoke up there?
Yes, Youth in Utoya and Norway stood for “human rights”… unless it was Jewish kids in Israel, being gunned-down in exactly the same way as in Norway. In that case, they deserved what they got, and they deserve to be boycotted as well!
And you guys still wonder why freaks like Breivik go nuts in your country?

You are a LIAR. Every sentence you wrote is a LIE.
Israel has Muslims in its government, and in the media and other professions.
Gaza has NO JEWS. Your dear sweat innocent Muslims demanded a completely Judenrein state. Muslims from Gaza go to Israeli hospitals to get the best medical treatment available — and then some of them go back to those hospitals to blow up the people who saved their lives, because Islam teaches them to hate Jews and kills Jews JUST BECAUSE THEY ARE JEWS.
Read the Koran and the Hadith and Reliance of the Traveller, and then you might not be so stupid.
People like the dolts who ran the Utoya camp make me embarrassed that my ancestors were Norwegian. Obviously the smarter Norwegians left a couple of generations ago.
Norway isn’t even standing up for the right of Norwegian women to be free from harassment by Muslim men; instead, leftist academics — like good little dhimmis — tell Norwegian women that they should start covering up so as not to tempt or offend Muslim men.
Norway’s leftists are deliberately shredding their country, just like the leftists in the UK and the U.S.

Dude – there’s no starvation in Gaza. Instead there’s great restaurants like this – where the Flotilla “activists” would have probably ended up dining.
I don’t know what the massmurderer wanted to start. Looks like he wanted to blame Pamela Geller for his acts. But don’t worry – there will be peace in Norway. And it will continue to have skyrocketing rates of rape and gang crime – all committed by “non-Western immigrants”…

Muhammad and his merry band of marauders were only a small number too, but old Mo was “made victorious by terror,” in his own words.
We’re told over and over that all the “moderate” Muslims don’t speak out against the “radicals” because of fear. It hardly matters if the “moderates” far outnumber the “radicals” when the latter are controlling message and the agenda.
Furthermore, the critical mass for Muslims to start demanding and forcing the larger society to adapt to THEIR ways is around 2 percent of the population.

Israel magnanimously offered the Norwegians help in dealing with the attack, as it does in all kinds of tragedies around the world. Why did the Norwegians refuse? Was it pure churlishness?
Was the Norwegian government embarrassed to see its lies about Israel being so starkly refuted? When was the last time Norway offered help to Israel — rather than to the raging fanatics who would kill every Jew in the world if they could?
My ancestry is 100 percent Norwegian, but it’s very hard to be proud of that fact these days.

I don’t read justification of Breivik’s murders of these kids. There is no justification for Breivik’s murder spree. None.
Here is the point of this blog post:
The author of the [jpost.com] article [cited in the blog above] notes:
“So in the mind of the illiberal Norwegians [the Labour Party], terrorism is justified if the ideology behind it is considered justified.
For them it is unacceptable for Breivik to murder Norwegian children, because his ideology is wrong. But it is acceptable for Palestinians to murder Israeli children, because their ideology is right.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Not the point of Ms Geller’s blog post, but mine and mine alone: A murderous nutjob killed a bunch of kids at a summer camp where they were being indoctrinated to become murderous nutjobs themselves. Oh, the irony…
Disclaimer: Still doesn’t make Breivik’s murder spree right. The kids had/have yet to commit any crimes, particularly murder, and since every moment is another chance to turn oneself around, there’s no guarantee that any of them ever would/will murder anyone.

I find it highly amusing that the Norwegians like to play at being relevant, as if they are. The Jews and the Israeli people are under the protection of the Knights Templar, by no less an authority than Andrew Brevik. To be sure, they may not like it, but they are. To be a socialist is to be a crime against humanity, to act in furtherance of socialism is commit a crime against humanity. Those who live by the sword and attack others and act to destroy their own countries will suffer such in return. “The world is ruled by the aggressive use of force” – Rush Limbaugh. Shades of Bleeding Kansas, 1859, John Brown has come to Norway. They called John Brown mad, too. Except William Lloyd Garrison and Frederick Douglas didn’t. Two years later thousands of blue-clad troops were marching to battle singing a hymn to John Brown. I suggest the leftists try to understand Brevik as they demanded I try to understand Mohammed Atta the morning of 9-11. I shed no tears for the dead on Utoya Island. My uncle, Captain Russell Cover, RAAF, flew a Lancaster bomber over Berlin at night and bombed German neighborhoods by design. I imagine he and his crew killed a few thousand German kids. No one called him mad. “Bomber” Harris said it had to be done. My father’s destroyer, DD800, USS Porter, shelled a Jap fish cannery on the coast of Honshu in 1945. The cannery exploded with the first salvo in massive secondary blasts completely destroying the adjoining town, and a few thousand civilians. The cannery turned out to be an ammo dump inside. Captain said it had to be done. The crew were called up on deck and invited to watch the pyrotechnics. They cheered each blast. I won’t call Andrew Brevik a madman and I won’t cry for the dead on Utoya Island, either, “for I have seen Him in the watch fires of 1,000 circling camps.”

The target of unarmed civilians, or anyone, in a liberal democracy is an attack on all.
But, please show us what was happening in these camps then? If Pamela Geller is wrong? Was it not to stir up anger and resentment against the state of Israel? Was it not spread propaganda and missinformation about Israeli guilt? Was is suggested in those camps that Israel was guilty of war crimes? Was it suggested that suicide bombing is a nasty but natural reaction to Israel? That that’s “all” that the “palistians” have?
If she is wrong, the provide an account of what happened and the content.
Be aware that they claim “oh, we just have issues with Israel” is too vulgar and transparent to be taken seriously: anti-semitism is what it is. Trying to hide it won’t work here. Islamophobia is mostly a myth – the only alarming number of hate crimes are directed against JEWS.

I’m sorry you havent seen the lines every morning, of fathers having to line up for hours in hope to get to work that day, slowslow lines, just for them… MDs trying to get some sort of equipment to help people with medical problems which would be easily solved at great hospitals if they were just the right ethnisity.
Rapists are usually – in about 90 % of the cases – someone the victim already know – a friend, boyfriend, relative. In short – a man. In a western country, that means that 90 % of rapes are committed by westeners. Should we judge all men because of that? Should I judge you? About 100% of rapists are men. Golda Meir, former Israeli leader, said allegedly once, when discussing a curfew for all women in Israel because of the risk of being assaulted in the streets: why a curfew for women? Lock up the men!
Of course everyone should have a right to walk in the streets without being assaulted. But the common denominator between these criminals is not primarily their ethnicity. The common denominator is that they are young men, from warridden countries, without families and jobs. That is important to know – provided you want to adress the problem. Bearing G. Meirs line in mind, your “non-western immigrants” might as well be Jews. But still. Prisons in Norway are full of Norwegians, the streets also have representatives of native idiots. Just as in every country. Solving problems without knowing what they are made of is somewhat difficult.
I don’t know where you come from, G.I. Maybe it isn’t even that important. I know I disagree with Pamela G., at the same time as I will forever defend her democratic right to say it. And have a blog. My most important message is that we shouldnt be judgemental and label groups of people when we adress political issues. You haven’t really commented on that, on the contrary.
Israeli intelligence liquidated a man in Norway taking a walk with his pregnant wife as they mistook him for someone else in the 70-ies. That is so wrong to every bone I have as a lawyer and citizen of a democracy, as the camp US set up, collecting people they considered a threat without law or judges, whether it be terrorists or people with the wrong ethnisity going by plane to a wedding. I dont judge either americans or israelis for that, calling them this or that. Primarily because it isnt true that all citizens have an individual responsibility for that. All christians, westerners or right wing politicians are not responsible for the massmurders. All professors are not responsible for the UNA- bomber. All germans are not responsible for Hitler. Because some american soldiers have tortured prisoners, does that make all american soldiers, or indeed americans torturists? I think not.
Secondly: How should that solve anything?
No one thought it possible that South Africa could unite it’s people after the decades of apartheid, slavery, violence, war, oppression. They did. In an amazingly short period of time. It is possible. But it requires hope, will, commitment. And sacrifice. Sorry.
The first step is to have hopes and dreams of a future of peace and democracy. The second is to change the rethoric. To have the guts to be a little curious: why do you think that? And to be even more courageous, and dare to discuss ones own point of view.
As I say to my kids : if you don’t think you’ll make it, you’re probably right.
So I.G. – you’ll probably get what you want. Choose wisely.
