Norwegian union members celebrating the passage of BDS boycott sanctions against Israel

The Norwegian Foreign Minister, Jonas Gahr Store, met with Mahmoud Abbas yesterday and announced that the Norwegians would upgrade the Palestinian mission to Norway to the status of ’embassy’ and the Palestinian representative to ‘ambassador.’ At a press conference afterwards, Store’s disingenuity knew no bounds.

Concerning the proposal for statehood the Palestinians will bring to the United Nations in September, Store hilariously proclaimed: [Norway] will consider very carefully the proposed text that’s to be put forward by the Palestinians in the coming weeks.”

Consider very carefully? What a joke. This is the same Foreign Minister Store who just last year praised a book that described Israel’s Operation Cast Lead intrusion in Gaza as “a monstrous, systematically implemented and comprehensive massacre.” It is the same Store who stood in a press conference in Israel and defended Norway’s awarding of a medal of literature to a man who was a notorious Nazi sympathizer in World War II. Store’s comments on that occasion were simply that one must separate a man’s failed political beliefs from his literary ability.

The bottom line is that in the wake of the failed Oslo Accords, the Norwegian government through its actions and deeds has spent the last decade doing all it can to promote anti-Israel hatred and to support the corrupt Palestinian Authority.  

The following information,which details in paraphrase where some Norwegian money goes, is taken from NGO Monitor:
