In several anti-Semitic remarks, Norwegian sociologist Johan Galtung also defends 'The Protocols of the Elders of Zion' and says Jewish influence was one of the factors leading to Auschwitz.

Johan
Galtung, Norwegian sociologist nicknamed the “father of peace studies,” made
anti-Semitic and anti-Israeli remarks while lecturing at the University of Oslo,
in an article published afterward in the Norwegian press and in an interview
with Haaretz that followed.
Among
other statements, Galtung claimed that a possible connection exists between the terrorist responsible
for the massacre of children in Norway
last summer, and the Mossad. “The Jews control U.S.media, and divert for the sake of Israel,"
wrote Galtung in an article published in Norway.
He
pointed out that one of the factors behind the anti-Semitic sentiment that led
to Auschwitz was the fact that Jews held
influential positions in German society.
Galtung also recommended reading “The Protocols of the Elders of Zion,” – one of the most popular anti-Semitic texts in the world.

Professor Galtung, 82-years-old, is one of the founders of the discipline called “Peace Studies and Conflict Resolution,” as well as a founder of the international Peace Research Institute in Oslo. He is considered well-respected sociological researcher, has been awarded many prizes, and is the author of over a thousand articles and over a hundred books. Some of his work has also been translated into Hebrew.
Galtung’s
repeated anti-Semitic remarks were exposed by the website of the Norwegian
periodical, “Humanist.” (http://humanist.no) Some of the comments were made
during a lecture at the University
of Oslo last summer, and
others were written by Galtung in response to an article critical of him that
was published in the periodical.
Among
other claims, Galtung stated that there is a possible link between Anders
Behring Breivik, responsible for massacring dozens of children in Norway last
summer, and Jewish and Israeli factions. The connection is supposedly based on
the fact that the murderer has ties to the “Freemasons” organization, “which
has Jewish origins,” according to Galtung. The supposed connection to Israel is through
the Mossad – which Galtung believes might have given Breivik his orders.
In
the same breath, Galtung mentioned a conspiracy theory, linking last summer’s
massacre in Norway with the
attack on the King
David Hotel,
carried out by the Etzel in 1946 – both attacks took place on July 22. He
finished with this astonishing claim: “It will be interesting to read the
[Norwegian] police report on Israel,
during the trial."
In
an email exchange with Haaretz on Sunday, Galtung requested
to clear up his claims. “When we know nothing about who is behind Breivik,
including whether there is anybody at all, any hypothesis is legitimate; that
is in the nature of research,” wrote Galtung.
“I
consider the Mossad highly unlikely, but it is illegitimate to eliminate it as
a hypothesis with no evidence,” continued Galtung.
When
asked what he meant concerning the police report on Israel, Galtung replied: “Exactly
what I said. I’m assuming that they are open to any possibility, and not only investigating acts
carried out by Breivik, but rather other conjectures as well.”
In the correspondence with Haaretz, Galtung mentioned what he calls the “ambiguity of everything human.” To explain, he raised examples from the Middle Ages and the modern period. According to Galtung, “The terrible programs,” carried out upon the Jews, had another “problematic” side as well. “The Jews played a role in demanding payment from indebted peasants,” wrote Galtung.

According
to Galtung, “terrible Auschwitz,” had two
sides as well. “[It was] not unproblematic that Jews had key niches in a
society humiliated by defeat at Versailles,” wrote Galtung, referencing Germany
following World War I. Galtung continued, “In no way, absolutely no way, does
this justify the atrocities. But it created anti-Semitism that could have been
predicted.”
Another
claim, made by Galtung in a Norwegian periodical, is that Jews control the
American media. “Six Jewish companies control 96% of the media,” wrote Galtung.
He included the names of journalists, publishers, TV networks, and movie
studios, that he claims are controlled by Jews. Media mogul Rupert Murdoch was
also included on the list. “He’s not Jewish, but many of the people under him
are,” wrote Galtung, in reference to Murdoch. “Many of them are fanatically
pro-Israel,” he pointed out. Immediately following these claims, Galtung wrote
that “seventy percent of the professors at the 20 most important American universities
are Jewish.”
Galtung
bases his doctrine on an article written by William Luther Pierce, founder of
the “National Alliance,” a white supremacist organization. The same article
inspired Timothy McVeigh to carry out the Oklahoma
City bombings that killed 168 people in 1995.
When
asked by Haaretz to describe the effects of the “Jewish control” of the media,
he answered that it could be a good thing, in terms of intellectual quality,
but that it could also “limit the discourse about anything where Israel is
involved."
As
an example, he raised American media coverage of Iran. According to Galtung, “U.S. mainstream media only discusses Iran in terms
of nuclear arms,” and does not discuss American involvement in internal Iranian
affairs. Galtung wrote of “The trauma of 1953 – the CIA-MI6 strike against a
legally elected prime minister.” Another example, according to Galtung, is “The
Arab Spring, discussed only in terms of dictatorship-democracy, not also in
terms of the role of U.S.-Israel behind those dictatorships."
Galtung
also held an open forum discussion concerning the contents of the book “The
Protocols of the Elders of Zion,” one of the most quoted anti-Semitic works
around the world. “I wonder how many people with such strong opinions on the
book have even read it,” he wrote. “It is impossible to do so today without
thinking of Goldman Sachs,” he added. Goldman Sachs is an international
investment Bank founded and run by Jews, attacked in the media from time to
time as a “capitalist pig."
“TheProtocols,” are a forgery, created by the Russian secret police during the days
of the Czar, which supposedly illustrates the Jewish plot created at a secret
conference called the “Elders of Zion” to take over the world. Galtung,
however, has another opinion. “It is hard to believe that the Russian secret
police was able to be so specific,” wrote Galtung. While corresponding with
Haaretz, he was less decisive, writing “I don’t know exactly who wrote the
protocols."
Gad
Yair, a sociology professor at Hebrew University, was the first to expose Galtung’s
anti-Semitic remarks in Israel.
Yair wrote about Galtung in his blog. (http://coolcite.com).
“Professor
Galtung was a valued and deserving member of any public or academic discussion,
until now. If a trustworthy peace-broker was ever needed anywhere in the world,
that was Norwegian professor Johan Galtung. This background gives meaning to
the astonishment of Norwegian academia in the face of his comments. It is the
same as the astonishment created by the murderer Breivikin." Norwegian
academia is wondering, added Yair, how "this merchant of peace was basing
his ideas on neo-Nazi publications, and including them in interviews, lectures
and articles? Does he also, like Breivik, cry peace with a Nazi salute?"
