Top Norwegian politicians on both the right and left sharpened their tone towards Israel on Saturday, deploring its ongoing attacks on Gaza and its civilian population. As demonstrations against the attacks took place around Norway, Norwegian Foreign Minister Espen Barth Eide said Israel is “going too far,” while the Conservatives’ leader of the foreign affairs and defense committee in Parliament, Ine Eriksen Søreide, thinks Israel is now breaking the rules of war.
“These rules are being broken now,” Søreide said, “and (Israel’s) massive blockade of Gaza, which is hindering humanitarian aid, is a violation of the rule of law.” Eide fully agrees, stressing that there’s “a clear line between the military and civilians in a war.”

“The situation (in Gaza) is catastrophic,” Eide told Norwegian Broadcasting (NRK) Saturday afternoon, “and that applies for everyone, unfortunately also the Norwegian citizens who are there.”

“I’m deepy worried that the conflict will spread to the West Bank and then possibly to Lebanon and farther in the region,” Eide told news bureau NTB. “This is extremely serious, and there’s all reason for us, the EU, Arab countries, the US and everyone else interested in building solid international support for a lasting solution. We need to discuss what’s needed to revive and restart a real peace process.”

Thousands of Norwegians, meanwhile, demonstrated all over the country for a ceasefire between Israel and Hamas. “It’s absolutely incredible that Israel carries on with this (attacks on Gaza),” said the leader of the Palestina Committee in Norway’s northern city of Tromsø, Inga Bårdsen Tøllefsen. She thinks Norwegian politicians should now consider sanctions against Israel, in an effort to halt all the attacks that have left civilians and foreigners in Gaza without food, water, medicine and electricity, and forced to try to survive in the bombed-out ruins of former homes. On Saturday most everyone in Gaza had lost telephone and Internet connections as well after heavy missile attacks during the night. Only a few trucks waiting to deliver humanitarian aid have been allowed into southern Gaza.

I guess Norway could take a few million "Palestinians".

The irony is that Palestinians want their own land, just as does Israel, in a place where land is scarce. What they really need is a diaspora like the Jews have. Problem solved.

Are Norway's citizens being gunned down and their babies killed by terrorists? No. They should STFU. And so should you.

The last time Norwegians meant anything in global diplomacy and power wars were fought with pike and shot.
 

Norway PM: Israel violating international humanitarian law in Gaza

Israel’s reaction to the Palestinian resistance’s operation “exceeds the rules of international law on proportionality”, Norway’s Prime Minister Jonas Gahr Store warned on Sunday.


“Civilians must be taken into account, and humanitarian law is fully aware of that. I believe that the line has now been far exceeded by Israel,” Store told public broadcaster NRK in an interview.


The official added that his primary concern is failure to get emergency aid into the Gaza Strip where the situation is “catastrophic”, adding that the failure to receive aid “clearly violates the rules of war or humanitarian law.”


On Friday, Norway voted in favour of the United Nations resolution calling for a permanent and immediate humanitarian ceasefire in the Gaza Strip.

Unlike the rest of the world, including the U.S., the Israeli's know how to fight a war.

Mean and hard.

Or is Norway offering to hang the Hamas bastards who shot up the music festival ?

Let me guess.

Norway is withdrawing the troops it sent to Israel ?
