I would presume it’s simply the historical western European bias finding a contemporary home. There have never been many Jews in Norway.

If there are not a lot there why have any hatred. I don't recall any history there involving the Jews that has any controversy.

I don't think there is any controversy, Jews were essentially barred from the country till the mid 19th century. There have never been more that a thousand or two there. Of course lack of a population didn't prevent Shakespeare, who probably never met a Jew, from writing about Shylock.
