Antisemitism, Norway

Israeli embassy in Norway hit by wave of Antisemitism

With ongoing relentless criticism of Israel by the Norwegian government, embassy staff are subjected to daily vandalism, flag burnings, and calls for intifada.

Staff at the Israeli Embassy in Norway face daily hostility – spitting, burning of Israeli flags, defacing hostage posters, and demonstrations with Palestinian flags and curses.

According to Israel Hayom, a rally last Saturday had a prominent activist advocating for "only one solution: the revolution of the Intifada," calling for a violent uprising against Jews.

Yana Kotlyar-Gal of the embassy told Yisrael Hayom that "the Norwegian Foreign Minister employs distinct pro-Palestinian terminology, providing a tailwind for local pro-Palestinian organizations and primarily influenced by the extreme voices within society, which is largely not anti-Israeli." 

She continued, "The inciting discourse creates more and more hateful activities against the embassy, with the understanding that none of these expressions of hatred contribute in any way to advancing the Palestinian cause. When the government neglects to mention the need for the release of captives and repeatedly blames Israel without acknowledging Hamas's actions, it's no wonder hostility grows."
