It was back in 2007 that I attended a conference in Hull addressed by Johan Galtung and wrote a highly critical (and over long) post on his dreadful talk. I thought the line he was trotting out was the usual apologist and relativist tosh, elaborated without thought or intellectual rigour.
It wasn't obscene though. This is.
Read for yourself, I can't bear to post extracts, it comes from a Norwegian magazine, The Humanist.
The editor's comments say it all.

Since Galtung now is using thinly disguised Nazi propaganda as the source material, it is perhaps not surprising that he also defends The Protocols of the Elders of Zion ... In the previous issue of the Humanist John Faerseth accused Johan Galtung to play with fire. With this article, Galtung has become the arsonist.Galtung is one of the founders of the discipline of peace research. If this is where it leads us, it has gone badly wrong.
