NORWAY’S OSLO UNIVERSITY VOTES DOWN BOYCOTT OF ISRAEL ACADEMIA…….

They voted down a measure that should never have been raised in the first place, but indeed thanks should be given to the rector of the institution for coming out solidly against the motion. The Norway, Israel and the Jews blog has the details, click here.

NOTE: An insider tells the Tundra Tabloids that: The University had declined to even vote on the proposition to boycott Israel academia, that originated from one of the University unions. But at the insistence from one of the board members who used her right to advance such a proposition, the board was forced to discuss it and bring the question to a vote.

The vote ended (this afternoon) with 9 against and 2 in favour for a boycott.

Plus there was a counter initiative, that the University of Oslo should decide to oppose an academic boycott of Israel. This proposition was voted on and accepted. The University official web site mentions the opinion of the U of O leadership according to which:

“academic contacts contribute to tearing down borders between countries and to create understanding and peace. Further, the statement from the board accentuates that an academic boycott is incompatible with the principle of individual academic freedom.”

So a victory for side! KGS

For all the talk of boycotting Israel, Norway's imports from Israel continue to grow year after year. It kinda tells you where all this Israel-hatred is really coming from.

TINSC you're right as usual, boycotts against the Jewish state fail because the world knows it needs Israel.

There’s No Common Cultural Legacy For The Alt-Right

Still, is there something to it? Is there a common heritage that will cover El Greco and Hume and Dostoyevsky? Is there one that can include the Jacobites and the Jacobins? There is, but it is not racial, and white supremacists reject it because it rejects them. The unifying heritage of Europe is religious and philosophical. It is Jerusalem and Athens, in one famous formulation. Christian religion and Greek philosophy, filtered through Roman law and culture, are the foundation of European culture. The tensions, agreements, developments and settlements between these have shaped the Western world, and these roots of Western civilization are not congenial to white supremacy.

Christianity is universal in its message and Jewish in its origins. For centuries after its founding, Christianity’s center was the Mediterranean world, including Asia Minor and North Africa. Christianity has never been defined by race, and locally-grown racist heresies are only sustainable among those ignorant of Christianity’s teachings, origins and history.

Greek philosophy is likewise ill-suited to serve as a basis for white identity. It is either too universal (addressing the human condition in general) or too local—none of us live as citizens of an ancient Greek polis. Later philosophical developments in Europe, such as the philosophies of the Enlightenment, likewise tend to be too universal for white supremacists seeking a tribal identity. As for the scientific revolution that developed within Western culture (albeit with much borrowed from outside Europe), math doesn’t care what color someone is.

"More here"

War is being waged against Western culture from within which is in essence a war against Christianity and its moral origins in the Hebrew Bible. By attacking these Biblical foundations in the name of reason and human rights, the culture warriors of secularism are sawing off the branch on which they sit. The only way to defend Western civilisation is to reaffirm and restore its Biblical foundations. My argument is a development of ideas I first explored in my 2012 book The World Turned Upside Down: The Global Battle over God, Truth and Power.

We are living in an era which extols reason, science and human rights. These are said to be essential for progress, a civilised society and the betterment of humanity. Religion is said to be their antithesis, the source instead of superstitious mumbo-jumbo, oppression and backward-thinking.

Some of this hostility is being driven by the perceived threat from Islamic terrorism and the Islamisation of Western culture. However, this animus against religion has far deeper roots and can be traced back to what is considered the birthplace of Western reason, the 18th-century Enlightenment.

Actually, it goes back specifically to the French Enlightenment. In England and Scotland, the Enlightenment developed reason and political liberty within the framework of Biblical belief. In France, by contrast, anti-clericalism morphed into fundamental hostility to Christianity and to religion itself.

“Ecrasez l’infame,” said Voltaire (crush infamy) — the infamy to which he referred being not just the Church but Christianity, which he wanted to replace with the religion of reason, virtue and liberty, “drawn from the bosom of nature”.

Perfecting society

But this Enlightenment did not remove religion so much as pervert it. It took millenarian fantasies, the idea that the perfection of the world was at hand, and it secularised them. Instead of God producing heaven on earth, it would be mankind which would bring that about. Reason would create the perfect society and “progress” was the process by which utopia would be attained.
