Dershowitz used the conference as an example of Norwegian academia being "one-sided" and "anti-semitic" in a 2011 op-ed.〔http://online.wsj.com/article/SB10001424052748704474804576222561887244764.html?mod=rss_opinion_main〕 In a 2009 op-ed in Adresseavisen, Levin criticized the labelling of critics of Israel as "Anti-semites", describing it as the "daily dose of propaganda from pro-Israeli organizations and media".〔http://www.adressa.no/meninger/article1309963.ece〕 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Morten Levin」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
