1. Norwegian anti-Israeli Prejudices
have roots in Positive but Misguided Sentiments! Brit-Am Comment: The article below points out that in the Norwegian Press Israel receives a negative projection. Israeli is also over emphasized. The reasons for this however, despite the negative results, reveal some redeeming aspects. Israel is emphasized because many Norwegians feel close to Israel and are interested in it. Norwegians tend today to take the Palestinian side because traditionally they are on the side of the weak and the Palestinians are seen as weak. Norwegian media make a scapegoat of Israel 25.03 20:34 MIGnews.com http://www.mignews.com/news/society/world/250312_203933_60569.html The conflict between Israelis and Palestinians receive more attention in the media than the bloody conflicts in other countries. The organization "With Israel for Peace" believes that this creates an unwarranted image of the enemy, writes the online newspaper VG Nett. Extracts: "With Israel for Peace" (Med Israel for fred) - Norway's pro-Israeli non-religious organization, compared the number of references to the Norwegian news agency NTB (Norsk Telegrambyrå) the conflict in Israel in relation to Egypt, Syria and Sri Lanka during the period from 2008 to 2011. The figures show that Israel is paid much more attention than other conflicts, despite the civil war in Sri Lanka and Syria, killing more people than the conflict between Israelis and Palestinians: Israel: 6851 Egypt: 3907 Syria: 2296 Sri Lanka: 1152 "This creates a disproportionate picture of the conflicts in the world where the Norwegians are in error believing that the conflict in the Middle East is far worse than any other conflict. Israel made a scapegoat, and the Middle East conflict is seen as the mother of all other conflicts," - says Konrad Mirlan, General Director of MIFF. During the period from 2008 to 2011 in the conflict between Israel and the Palestinians were killed just over 2,000 people. For comparison, in Syria since March of last year were 8,000 people killed, according to the UN. The death toll in Sri Lanka is not established, but a UN spokesman Gordon Weiss says that in 2009 there were 40,000 Tamils were killed. In January 2009, when there was a war in the Gaza Strip, as well as in Sri Lanka, Israel was mentioned in 566 news stories of the NTB, while Syria and Sri Lanka were mentioned 52 times. "It's a paradox that the conflicts in Sudan and Congo in the last decade claimed the lives of millions, do not get media coverage, and who does not even approach the level of conflict in the Middle East" - says Mirlan. "The Middle East is mentioned, because Norway is heavily involved in the political process, even before the Oslo Accords, and currently is the head of a group of donors to the Palestinians. Moreover, many connected with Israel, or having been in kibbutzim in the country, or because many Christians in Norway follow the religious aspect of the conflict. We follow the principle of journalism - to write about what interests the readers, "- said Ana Haarvardshtater Lund, head of foreign policy in the NTB. Trustee of the Jewish community in Oslo Erwin Kohn said that the concentration of media attention on Israel raises strong emotions from the Norwegians for the region. "Too many people in Norway have an emotional connection to Israel, and Norwegian politicians position themselves in accordance with the ratio of the conflict. Conflict between Israel and the Palestinians is almost intrinsically political condition in Norway" - Cohn said. According to him, Israel plays the role of the big bad wolf in the eyes of the Norwegian public. "In the Norwegian story alone - strong and ugly, it is Israelis and Jews. Other - weak and the victims, it is the Palestinians. Norway is always on the side of the weak" - he said. Though Cohn reads all Norwegian daily national newspaper, he believes that the Dagbladet, Klassekampen and some Christian newspaper fall into this ditch, forgetting to ask important questions about both sides. Arne Jensen, Assistant Secretary General of the Association of Norwegian Editors, does not give up on how the Norwegian media group working on the lighting of international conflicts. "Yes, it is possible that we will do that. This is a difficult terrain to navigate, because conflicts are many and they are very different. Become skilled foreign correspondent - a large and difficult task," - he said. 2.

Brit-Am Comment: The Netherlands passed a veto against a EU report condemning Israel. The organization that authored the report hnowever had been founded by the Dutch. What is shocking however about the whole incident is that the report, if it was not for the Dutch, veto, would have been issued. The report in effect is a list of OUTRIGHT BLATANT ANTI-JEWISH PERVERSIONS OF THE TRUTH!! Dutch veto against condemnation of settlers' violations 22-04-2012,09:54 http://www.qassam.ps/news-5617- Dutch_veto_against_condemnation_of_ settlers_violations.html Al Qassam website- London- The Arab Organization for Human Rights in London has revealed that the Netherlands had blocked the official issuance of a European report condemning Jewish settlers' violations against Palestinian civilians. The organization said in a statement on Friday that the Rights Forum founded by the former Dutch PM Andreas van Agt leaked the European report about the settlers' violations in the occupied Palestinian territories in April last year, which was modified last February. The European report stated that the occupied Palestinian territories are witnessing a significant increase in Jewish settlers' violence against the Palestinian people and their properties especially in villages adjacent to settlements. The settlers' attacks include random shootings on Palestinian civilians, closing streets, damaging crops, including the destruction of about 10,000 trees, in addition to assaulting children while playing in streets or during school trips where four children were killed by settlers in 2010-2011, the report said, adding that most of the cases brought against the settlers were closed without charge. The statement of the Arab Organization condemned the Dutch attitude towards the report, describing it as 'promiscuous and illegal', and asked Holland to take the position of the European Union and the international community that condemns settlements in the occupied Palestinian land as 'unethical and illegitimate'. 4. USA spends more on its military than EU countries, China and Russia put together! Military spending: EU dwarf shrinks as US gets bigger http://euobserver.com/13/115906 17.04.12 @ 09:40 Forwarded by: surfer11 <surfer11@iprimus.com.au> Extracts: BRUSSELS - The US is spending more on its military than EU countries, China and Russia put together. Meanwhile, as US President Barack Obama pulls troops out of Europe, the financial crisis is seeing EU capabilities erode. America spent $711 billion ('548bn) at current prices on its armed forces last year, according to figures published on Tuesday (17 April) by Swedish NGO the Stockholm International Peace Research Institute (Sipri). The fast-growing US number compares to $496 billion spent by the EU27 ($281bn), China ($143bn) and Russia ($72bn) combined. Obama declared last year that he is pulling resources from Cold-War-era bases in Germany to put them in places such as Australia instead in what he dubbed "America's Pacific [Ocean] century." At the same time, the financial crisis is seeing EU countries' power diminish. Looking at expenditure in comparable prices in 2008 and 2011, the EU27 were spending $289 billion a year before the crisis, but the figure is $281 billion today. Russia is rarely discussed as a military threat by EU politicians. But over the same period, its spending went from $57 billion to $64 billion. With Chinese expenditure soaring from just $17 billion in 2008 to $129 billion in 2011, it is easy to see why Obama is looking to the other side of the world. Iran and its ally Syria are estimated to be spending just $8-billion-or-so a year. Israel spent $16.4 billion in 2011 on conventional arms alone (it dooes not admit having nuclear weapons). The Western-armed Sunni-controlled axis - counting Bahrain, Jordan, Kuwait, Oman, Qatar, Saudi Arabia, the United Arab Emirates and Yemen - spent $81 billion. 5. Worth Watching?
