The Norwegian media corps is usually only too happy to report on events in, or related to, Israel. When said events make Israel look bad, that is. When news makes Norway look bad, or Israel look good, Norwegian journalists and editors deem the events non-newsworthy.
The Spain, Israel and the Jews blog has identified a couple of Wikileaks revelations related to Israel:
It has been surprising how the 250,000 revealed documents of the United States Department of State have enhanced Israel’s official positions; what hasn’t been so surprising is the fact that the Spanish mainstream media has severely demoted WikiLeaks revelations benefitting Israel. These ones are at least three:
a) Qatari ruler Sheikh Hamad bin Khalifa al-Thani defends Israel’s credibility and demotes its rivals’.
b) Several Arab countries, including ones which don’t recognize Israel’s inherent right to exist, coincide with Israel regarding the Iranian nuclear threat and even tried to make the United States bomb Iran’s nuclear installations.
c) An Iranian source affiliated with the Red Crescent revealed that its ambulances were used by the Iranian Revolutionary Guard with the help of its crews to smuggle weapons into Lebanon on behalf of Hezbollah during the Second Lebanon War, in the summer of 2006.
Ah, the Norwegian media corps. What a delightful crowd they are.
