He was a devout Christian Zionist and he assumed that if Israel killed with impunity, then there was no reason that he shouldn’t either. As I wrote yesterday, Israel has murdered 825 Gazans with the use of drones over Gaza in the past 4 years. No Western government has protested, so why – Breivik thought – shouldn’t he kill some Muslim supporters i.e. young socialists in Norway, who also supported the Palestinians (as all decent socialists and social democrats do these days). Breivik had been to Israel several times and just loved the fact that there you could be openly racist and anti-Islamic without any sign of disapproval. Despite media disinformation, he had strong contacts with the EDL and as the article in the Independent below shows, EDL leader Stephen Lennon praised him, adding that ‘the murders he carried out would have been easier to justify if they had been perpetrated against Muslims’. We now know exactly what the EDL intends for its opponents (although most of us were already aware). Those who remember the initial reports of the massacre that killed 77 in Oslo will remember that ‘Islamic extremists’ were first to be blamed. When it turned out to be a fascist with strong sympathies with Israel, then the news began to be censored. It didn’t quite fit the message we are taught to imbibe, that Israel and its supporters are peaceful and it is only Muslims who glory in blood and death. Below are articles on the support for Breivik of the EDL nutters as well as an article on Anders Behring Breivik, Islam and Israel by Brit Dee, Breivik’s Zionist streak in The Daily Beast and an article in the Jerusalem Post, a right-wing Israeli paper admitting to the fact that Norway attack suspect had anti-Muslim, pro-Israel views.
