Former Prime Minister Kåre Willoch must take a share of responsibility for anti-Semitism in Norway, claiming parliamentary politician Erlend Wiborg (FRP).
Wiborg said Tuesday on a Twitter message from a NRK journalist who asked for help to find someone to say something about how anti-Semitism among jihadists coming from.
– People Kåre Willoch must also take their share of responsibility. He has contributed to anti-Semitism in general and given legitimacy to it, wrote Wiborg.
Parliamentary politician says to NRK that he stand by what he wrote.
– I was challenged on what is why we have increasing anti-Semitism in Norway. When I showed several things. One is single events when Kåre Willoch stated a few years ago that now could not Americans working for peace in the Middle East, because Obama had employed a Jewish politician, he said.
Kåre Willoch denies that he has contributed to anti-Semitism.
– It is a rather crude misrepresentation of what I said. The point was that they chose a person to lead a mediation situation that had volunteered on the Israeli side in a war against Palestinians. Misrepresenting this as if I should have had no general reluctance Jews, is fundamentally flawed, says Willoch.
