Norwegian Diplomat Succumbs to Hamas Propaganda, Equates Israel with Nazis (UPDATED: also a blogger, Bumped)

I bumped the post because a) it's semi-original work, not just linking a story and making a snarky comment about it; b) you might want to e-mail the link to your favorite Euro-dhimmi; and, c) I'm itching for a fight.

Do the Euroweenies want to believe that Israel = Nazi Germany? Or is the MSM so misleading in its coverage that they have no choice but to believe it? JPOST:

The e-mail, sent out by Trine Lilleng, a first secretary at the Norwegian Embassy in Riyadh, includes a juxtaposition of black-and-white pictures from the Holocaust with color images of Operation Cast Lead.

"The grandchildren of Holocaust survivors from World War II are doing to the Palestinians exactly what was done to them by Nazi Germany," the e-mail states.

It shows what appears to be some poor innocent Palestinian kid being rounded up for no apparent reason. He's so frightened of the mean-old Israeli soldiers that he pisses in his pants.

What the image doesn't show is the rest of the story. Again, from Honest Reporting.

Makes a difference to the overall narrative presented in the first image, no? The next week, Arafat posed with the poor abused child helping spread the false narrative of his very temporary detainment.

I can't help but think that the typical consumer of news hates Israel because they have no other choice. If these were the only images you were seeing in the news, wouldn't you believe something similar? Herr Goebbels would be proud.

Thanks to Shy Guy who practically wrote this whole post.

UPDATE: Thanks to Norwegian Blogger Jupp who is definitely not a Euroweenie, we find out that Trine Lilleng is also a blogger who goes by the handle hedoorientia. Her website, "Orientia in Saudi", has mysteriously disappeared. But thanks to the great Google cache (its mystery is exceeded only by its power) it turns out there was a reason Jupp deleted her blog: it's full of editorial cartoons equating Israeli action against terrorism with the holocaust. You can click the Google cache page or head over to Jupp's, who took screenshot's of Lilleng's deleted blog.

It's ironic that much of her blog laments the sex segregation of the Wahabi kingdom, yet doesn't seem to get that Hamas has much the same vision for Palestine.
