Mladen Andrijasevic sent this letter to the International Herald Tribune:

Sir,

Norway recognized the PA coalition. This means that Norway recognized the Hamas Charter with its Article 7: "O Muslim! there is a Jew hiding behind me, come on and kill him" and Article 13: "There is no solution to the Palestinian problem except by Jihad."

Let's face it. Norway just recognized the government whose openly stated aim is the destruction of the State of Israel. What self-respecting country would continue to have normal diplomatic relations with Norway if put in a similar position?

Sincerely,

Mladen Andrijasevic

And this is [1] what they printed:

Norway and the Palestinians

Regarding the article "Israel moves to isolate Palestinian coalition" (March 19): Norway has recognized the new Palestinian coalition government. Let's face it: Norway just recognized the government whose openly stated aim is the destruction of Israel.

What self-respecting country would continue to have normal diplomatic relations with Norway?
