here have been a lot of vile antisemitic reactions to Israel defending itself after it was viciously attacked and more than 1400 people were killed. We saw things like the people in New York City chanting in support of the Hamas terrorists and calling for Israel to be eliminated. But there were similar rallies around the world, showing we have a big problem with some very twisted people, many of whom are radical leftists.
One reaction that got a lot of attention was a Norwegian medical student who held up a sign that said “Keep the world clean” with a Star of David in the trash can.

Nexta then published an interview of her trying to justify herself. She claimed to love everyone and just be against the Israeli government, but then she called the attack on Israel “resistance” to occupation and claimed even the UN said they had a right to resist.

RELATED: Warsaw university suspends Norwegian student over “Keep world clean” banner at Palestine march
Published October 31, 2023
The Medical University of Warsaw (WUM) has suspended a Norwegian student who was pictured at a recent pro-Palestine march in the Polish capital holding a banner featuring the Israeli flag being thrown in a bin alongside the words “Keep the world clean”.
“There is no place for any forms of hate speech or violence at the Medical University of Warsaw,” its rector, Zbigniew Gaciong, wrote in a statement issued to news website Onet.
He noted that, on the first working day following the incident, the student was summoned to explain what had happened. Based on those findings, Gaciong said that he had “immediately decided” to refer the student for disciplinary action and to suspend her. Police were also notified of a possible crime.
The rector added that the university’s disciplinary officer had been asked to conduct an investigation into four other students who were reported to have “posted legally questionable content on social media”. Gaciong said that his institution “does not allow hate speech”.
He also reported that he had met with students from Israel and that the university was offering support to anyone affected by the ongoing conflict in the region.

RELATED: ‘I’m Sorry for Undermining the Pro-Palestinian Movement,’ Says Norwegian Student Who Shocked World With Antisemitic Sign
Published October 31, 2023
The young Norwegian woman who caused outrage around the world by carrying a viciously antisemitic placard at a pro-Hamas demonstration in Warsaw has defended her behavior in an interview with a Norwegian broadcaster, characterizing the State of Israel as “dirty” and underlining that her main regret was that the furor she generated had “undermined the pro-Palestinian movement.”
Images of Marie Andersen — a student at the Medical University of Warsaw in Poland — carrying a home-made sign showing a Star of David being dumped into a garbage can alongside the slogan “Keep the World Clean” went viral over the weekend. Polish leaders quickly condemned the display, with President Andrzej Duda saying that “any signs of [antisemitism] arouse our deep indignation” and Warsaw Mayor Rafał Trzaskowski urging that anyone displaying antisemitism “should face legal consequences.”
But in an interview on Tuesday with Norway’s TV 2, Andersen defended the message behind her sign.
Asked why she had designed such a placard, Andersen replied that it “contains an Israeli flag in the bin to illustrate how dirty I think the Israeli government is, both in this warfare, but also by running an apartheid state for decades.”
During a generally sympathetic interview which at no point challenged her contention that her sign was an attack on the Israeli government and not Jews in general, Andersen said she was “sorry that the poster was not clear enough on the point that this applied to the Israeli government and did not represent any religions and is interpreted as Jew-hatred.”
