The video, posted online earlier this month by the state-owned NRK network, is titled \u201cScrabble\u201d and was captioned \u201ctag a Jew\u201d on the Facebook page of the animators who created it, Norske Gr\u00f8nnsaker.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Norway\u2019s public broadcaster NRK defended a cartoon in which a Scrabble player forms the word \u201cJewish swine.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

The video, posted online earlier this month by the state-owned NRK network, is titled \u201cScrabble\u201d and was captioned \u201ctag a Jew\u201d on the Facebook page of the animators who created it, Norske Gr\u00f8nnsaker.<\/span><\/p>\n

In it, a grey-haired man wearing a yarmulke and dressed like a haredi Jew is playing Scrabble with a younger man in shorts. The Jew is frustrated over how long his opponent is taking to construct a word. The camera switches to the young man\u2019s point of view to reveal that he\u2019s constructed the word \u201cJew swine\u201d (one word in Norwegian) but has not revealed it yet.<\/span><\/p>\n

The young man sighs in frustration as the Jewish player taunts him over his Scrabble skills. \u201cWe are clearly on different cognitive levels,\u201d the Jew exclaims.<\/span><\/p>\n

The cartoon\u2019s airing by NRK, which has long been said to espouse a left-wing editorial line, evoked unusual support and praise by far-right figures, including the anti-Semitic Holocaust denier Hans J\u00f8rgen Lysglimt Johansen.<\/span><\/p>\n

Ivar Staurseth, a journalist for the Minerva newspaper, on Facebook suggested the video was anti-Semitic. \u201dIt\u2019s not for nothing that suffix \u2018swine\u2019 doesn\u2019t appear together with other groups\/minorities,\u201d he wrote.<\/span><\/p>\n

NRK Entertainment editor Charlo Halvorsen rejected the allegation, telling Aftenpost Wednesday: \u201cThe Scrabble player made an indecent and indefensible word that we can\u2019t and shouldn\u2019t use. But he\u2019s tempted to win.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n
