That was a long time ago. I'm sure no one at the Times was even alive then. Besides, it wouldn't fit their narrative.

#5 You're making it very very easy to blame rightwingers for this: same way that cheering Palestinians made it easy to blame Muslims as a whole for this.

Glenn Beck just compared the victims to the Hitler Youth. Here in Rantburg, several commentators blamed the victims as well. Even ignoring the members that were so openly disgusting that they got condemned by the rest of you, several others' response was only to claim the Left are monsters (that they'd be supposedly cheering for joy at the news, that they are effectively monsters that need be destroyed, that the LEFT has launched a war).

Much as the hours after 9/11/2001 wouldn't be a good time to claim Americans are monsters -- as it would be seen as an indirect endorsements of the 9/11 murders; this wasn't a good time to launch accusations against "multiculturalists". Not when someone just murdered the "multiculturalists"' children by the dozens.

So, WHY are you making it so easy for the world to believe you all evil supporters of child-murderers?

#13 @Aris
When left radicals like the German RAF or the Italian Brigate Rosse started bombing and killing, some people were rather quick to blame the "left wing" ideology of Adorno and Marcuse, for example.

We certainly shouldn't repeat the strategy. European cities have no problems with Muslims, they have problems with people from Muslimic countries who refuse to integrate, who insist in living exactly like they lived back home in rural Anatolia (they still want the modern social benefits, of course).

This is a problem, and we are entitled to pint them out without being afraid that a totally deranged Norwegian mass murderer would use arguments as they suit him to murder... err Norwegians.

I find that certain blogs hyperventilate when it comes to the "Islamic danger". Rantburg is not one of them.

PS: Just in case, please don't delete Aris. I'm very willing to debate with him.

#15 Procopius2k, I don't know how you managed to quote my post without even reading its first sentence which mentions those cheering Palestinians; whose existence I emphasized but you seem to somehow think I denied.

I gave it *explicitly* as an example of the behaviour you don't want emulating -- and you somehow think I denied them.

Given such a failure, I have to wonder if you're a sentient organism, Procopius2K. Perhaps you're a not-yet-sufficiently advanced computer program that looks for keywords but can't yet comprehend human language?

#17 When we see reportage on the recent massacre in Norway that compares the killer to Israeli actions in Gaza, _it looks to us like nazi propaganda_.

Even while they use the 'N' word themselves.

From ABC News/Australia:

Eyewitness: Norwegian massacre 'like a Nazi movie':

"Some of my friends tried to stop him by talking to him. Many people think on the island that it was a test ... comparing it to how it is to live in Gaza. So many people went to him and tried to talk to him, but they were shot immediately." - Adrian Pracon

He can't even talk about a terrorist attack on his own people, by a rare real Nazi, without accusing Israel of terrorist attacks on Palestinians, in a week when the death toll from Syria's crackdown on _its_ population went past a thousand.

#19 @Procopius

from Wikipedia:

Annette Krüger Spitta of the ARD's (German public broadcasting) TV magazine Panorama states that footage not aired shows that the street surrounding the celebration in Jerusalem is quiet. Furthermore, she states that a man in a white T-shirt incited the children and gathered people together for the shot. The Panorama report, dated September 20, 2001, quotes Communications Professor Martin Löffelholz explaining that in the images one sees jubilant Palestinian children and several adults but there is no indication that their pleasure is related to the attack. The woman seen cheering (Nawal Abdel Fatah) stated afterwards that she was offered cake if she celebrated on camera, and was frightened when she saw the pictures on television afterward.

#22 European Conservative -- there's a phrase in Greek that roughly translates to "The Caesar's wife need not just BE honorable, but SEEM honorable".

Even if those specific cheering Palestinians were a fraud (I don't know) - many Palestinians' attitude towards previous attacks against civilians is what made it very very easy to accuse Palestinians as sympathetic or even openly supportive to the attacks.

Which is sort of my point. One shouldn't make it easy for other people to depict them as evil. Even if deep deep inside you know you aren't evil, knowing it yourselves is not enough. You ought also LOOK not evil.

"Glenn Beck just compared the victims to the Hitler Youth. Here in Rantburg, several commentators blamed the victims as well."

I haven't seen that footage but of course this is absolutely despicable. I have personally addressed one Rantburg commentator (with a generic nick) over that issue and I remember Steve White setting him straight, too.

NOBODY in his right mind would blame the victims.

#26 EU, the para above your selected posting stipulates -

The demonstration did happen and was condemned by Arafat; the footage was current.[9]

As for Aris, it's simply posted to bring home visually the fact that there were those who indeed act in such a manner. You imply an intent that was not there. If you allow the broad brushing of a group for the actions or the excuses issued by a few, that principle applies to both sides.

Palestinian celebrations

The Palestinian National Authority (PNA) immediately condemned the attacks. Fox News reported that in Ein el-Hilweh, Lebanon's largest Palestinian refugee camp, revelers fired weapons in the air, with similar celebratory gunfire heard at the Rashidiyeh camp near the southern city of Tyre as well.[18]

Reports and images of Palestinians from East Jerusalem, Nablus, and Lebanon taking to the streets in celebration, were broadcast around the world.[18] with many newspapers, magazines, Web sites and wire services running photographs.[21][22] The PNA claimed such celebrations were not representative of the sentiments of the Palestinian people, and the Information Minister Yasser Abed Rabbo said the PNA would not allow "a few kids" to "smear the real face of the Palestinians". In an attempt to quash further reporting, Ahmed Abdel Rahman, Arafat's Cabinet secretary, said the Palestinian Authority could not "guarantee the life" of an Associated Press (AP) cameraman if footage he filmed of post-9/11 celebrations in Nablus was broadcast. Rahman's statement prompted a formal protest from the AP bureau chief, Dan Perry.[23][22]

#27 I can't speak to the Palestinians -- although it's even more disconcerting if the demonstrations were staged than if they were spontaneous -- but in Lackawanna, New York (home of the Lackawanna Six), my darling mother-in-law reported singing, dancing, and candy being handed out in the Yemeni section of town. They stopped when they noticed her watching, then resumed after she drove past. Other Rantburgers have reported seeing the same thing in Detroit. So whether or not the Palestinians staged it, others were indeed spontaneous in their celebrations.

But it was also members of the Lackawanna Muslim community who turned in the Six to the authorities, because they didn't accept the lads' jihad. I've seen things to indicate it was an imam at the mosque and the fathers of some of the Six, which speaks pretty strongly to the strength of their conviction. We've been following this growing argument within Islam for the past several years, here at Rantburg -- there is a battle of books between Dr. Ayman al Zawahiri and several former theologians of violent jihad who have come to rethink their former positions (Zawahiri is losing, in case you wondered) and another on being fought on YouTube...and of course much of what we know about the jihadis in Iraq, Afghanistan and elsewhere comes from information shared by Muslim locals who disagree with the jihadis, for whatever reason.

Anybody who then accuses us of LOOKING evil because of what they assume us to be is too simpleminded to be worth arguing with, because he isn't interested in external reality. Have you gone to the news outlets to accuse them of bigotry because at first they all trumpeted the car bomb as a Muslim attack? Here at Rantburg we reminded ourselves to wait for the evidence before drawing conclusions about the perpetrator.

#28 Not writer, weiter. Autospell doesn't like unexpected foreign languges.

there's a phrase in Greek that roughly translates to "The Caesar's wife need not just BE honorable, but SEEM honorable".

About Mrs. Augustus Caesar, I believe. A woman who was was so steeped in perfidy that seeming honorable was all she had left. "Pure as Caesar's wife", as we say in English, has sadly never been a compliment.

#29 "Bill Clinton", you are arguing about the categories "left" or "right", same as someone else might argue for the categories blegg and rube.

You care about the category, because there is a disguised query behind your words: "Which group should feel ashamed for having him as part of them?" And having decided you don't want to feel ashamed for him, you decide he's not a right-winger.

Careful with that reasoning and with that hidden query! For though the words "left" and "right", "socialist" and "conservative" are fuzzy enough that you can assign everyone and everything to each of them, some words like "multi-culturalist" and "anti-multiculturalist" are slightly (slightly) more specific, and you won't be able to shove every monster into the *other* bin.

"Here at Rantburg we reminded ourselves to wait for the evidence before drawing conclusions about the perpetrator."

Trailing wife, I've read that thread: http://www.rantburg.com/poparticle.php?ID=326737&D=2011-07-22&SO=&HC=1

It begins with everyone making fun of the very idea that it can be anyone other than Muslims. People mockingly blamed in turn "the Amish", the "Laplanders", "the Buddhists", "the Lutherans" -- talked about whether Norwegians will now play "vikings and muslims", etc, etc.

And someone openly mocked the idea that it might be a neonazi instead, by putting it in the mouth of Napolitano.

So: No, Rantburg certainly did not remind itself to wait for the evidence. Everyone in that thread mocked the very idea that it might be someone who wasn't a muslim. Don't rewrite history, please.

#33 Aris, radical Islamists immediately claimed credit for the attack. It was rational to believe them, since this is how they act. I did mention Norway was home to a kind of Nazi, but did not expect it to be socialists attacking other socialists; different flavors of Nazis, red on red.

And eighteen of the thirty-five posts were either reports of new information or links to information sources, at a time when all the major news outlets were talking about it being a jihadi attack, likely revenge for the imminent expulsion of Mullah Krekar. I misremembered acts of caution for words of caution, perhaps because that is how I explicitly framed the news on my Facebook page. My apologies.

This is probably one of those cultural jokes that loses something in translation. It is common practice here in the United States for news reports to omit certain details when the perpetrators are black or Muslim. Diminishing the self-esteem of minorities or reinforcing prejudices would be mean, I guess.

Also, as pointed out radical Islamists *did* take credit for the attack. Combine that with the historical data over the last decade ( roughly a thousand to one), and "Muslims" is a reasonable bet. But as always, facts get the last word. (like that will stop us from being snarky in the meantime!)
