It still does. Sami rights were still ridiculed until the 80s, but the current govt. is trying to roll back Sami rights. Pretty successfully, since they are deferred from parliament. Liberalism? After the oil boom. Socially conservative worker solidarity was norm post-WW2.

It's almost exactly the same in contemporary Norway. Pre-80s was preachy, conservative "educating" of Sami people. But those were different times in more ways. Now, it's people who think native rights are "anticompetitive" who are the worst - i.e. libertarians and neolibs.

The last time I was in Norway, I had a rare case of agetting angry at my grandmother on the Norwegian side (who is generally a very excellent person) for asserting Palestinians are "not angels". Fairly sure she picked this up in church. Similar attitudes towards Sami there.

Same conversation, I was condemning the barbaric behavior of the IDF in shooting random protesters & medics. Yeah, there are Palestinian terrorists. Not angels. I agree. That doesn't justify Israel's fascistic ethnostate, or wanton murder. This was the context of my anger.

And yes, key to separate criticism of Israel from Nazism. Which can't be done cleanly, since you can still read it into anything, and since calling anti-semitism is a favorite ploy of the Israeli lobby. But one can try. I oppose Israeli politics, not Jews or indeed Israelis.
