A number of Norwegians from different backgrounds met to discuss the growing antisemitism in that country, as well as methods of treating post-traumatic stress disorder caused by terrorism.

Bjorn Staerk writes:

One of the central people behind this event is Ester Kristoffer, a psychologist who has written about the suffering of Israeli bus drivers. Over the last two months she has gotten a name for herself in several TV debates where she has criticized the Norwegian media for an anti-Israeli bias. She’s done a good job of it too.

On the Saturday evening news, NRK took revenge.

NRK (the Norwegian state TV network) interviewed members of the group, including Kristoffer, under the pretext of running a sympathetic profile of their activities. But by the time it aired, it had become ‘a conspiracy theory in which the Israeli embassy supports a secret network of Christians, through which it hopes to manipulate Norwegian opinion.’

Says Staerk:

It’s the kind of lie that demonstrates the inspiration of antisemitic ideas on modern anti-Israelism. People don’t just spontaneously come together to contradict what everyone agrees to be common sense. No, they form secret networks, with nameless and influential members. And at the center of it all, pulling the strings, there’s always a Jew.

See Staerk’s blog entry for a letter from Kristoffer to NRK, protesting ‘the Norwegian version of the Protocals of the Elders of Zion’.
