While the case is receiving limited coverage in the Norwegian media, VG and TV2 report that several Jewish graves in Oslo have been desecrated with Nazi symbols and other messages (picture is by Tom Bob Peru Aronsen of NrK). One message states that "The war is not over", whatever that might mean.

Jews were not allowed to enter Norway until 1851, and almost half the Jews that entered Norway thereafter were killed during the Second World War. I have previously written extensively on anti-Israeli sentiment in Norway, but this should not be confused with the outright racism that is behind the grave desecrations in Oslo.

An article in the tabloid paper VG reports that children in the Jewish Kindergarten in Oslo are not allowed to play outside. Since Hamas has stated that all Jews and Jewish institutions around the world are valid targets for their revenge, the children are being kept inside behind bulletproof glass.

Norway has its share of terrorists and terrorist supporters, so I believe the concern is warranted.
