And they urge other dhimmis to follow suit. Condoleeza Rice passed up a chance to rebuke them for this, and instead praised them.
"Norway prepares first direct aid transfer to PA government," from Associated Press, with thanks to WriterMom:
Norway is set to make the first transfer of direct aid to the Palestinians' new government, the foreign minister said Monday - more than two months after the country broke with most Western nations by recognizing the Hamas-led coalition."Palestinian Finance Minister Salam Fayyad has now structured a financial account by which we can channel our support," Norwegian Foreign Minister Jonas Gahr Stoere said.
Norway soon will transfer U.S. $10 million to that account, Stoere said.
"I urge others to follow," he said.
Dhimmiwegians!
Just super. The playing field is level again. Fatah is getting cash and weapons for Israel/the U.S., and now Hamas is getting cash for weapons from Norway.
One would think that if the world was concerned with the "Palestinian" "suffering" that they would instead open factories and businesses to stimulate the economy, which would indeed, give the masses less time for jihad against the target of the day. Instead, they will concentrate on killing, and the world will wring their hands once again.
Why oh why do we continue to give money to islamists? When will the west wake up? They are laughing at our inability to fight fiercely and sucking us dry of our money.
Orwell worte of the ‘problem of overproduction’ in 1949. He speculated that we would burn off this overproduction through continuous warfare. He’ll be right in the end; but the fighting won’t be limited to Persia, Egypt, Java, and Ceylon. You’ll get to take part in a City near you.
In the run-up to the main event, we’re taking care of our ‘problem of overproduction’ by giving away our cash in order to make all people equal and fund ballooning populations. The average US family pays $5k for defense and about $13k for social programs (over a trillion dollars each year). We incur $3 trillion in new unfunded liabilities annually. It makes us feel good. What’s another $10 million?
The main event begins when the ‘problem of overproduction’ turns into the ‘problem of underproduction’. We’re getting there quickly.
NOT one more krone....
An obvious way of expressing disapproval of Norway's funding of Hamas would be to boycott Norwegian goods. Most of the canned sardines found on supermarket shelves come from Norway; the labels are often explicit about this (e.g. Norwegian brisling sardines). I realize that the impact of such a boycott might be minor for Norway itself but it may have more significant consequences for the multinational corporations and distribution networks who market such products. Letters can be written to companies such as Bumble Bee, King Oscar, and Season (whose products are, ironically, strictly kosher) explaining the reason why particular products are being boycotted. The boycott should apply to all Norwegian products and services, including cruise lines. Please add to my short list of Norway's commercial offerings, if you wish, for others' edification as well as mine. Thanks. I hope this isn't going to be too off-topic.
Vidkun Quisling would be proud.
Wouldn't it be "just" for Muslim terrorists of the Fatah faction to now attack Norway?
The Norwegians appear to think that you can actually bribe crocodiles.
They're still crocodiles, no matter how nicely your feed them.
(Pasting peace symbols onto their scales changes nothing of their viscera.)
Dear Commonsense,
On a standard 13-digit barcode, if the first two numbers are 70, it means that the product was made/packaged in Norway.
Elephant: Thanks for the information.
Well, now...there's 6,000 assault rifles plus ammo worth of "aid".
Just in time for the big show coming soon...
Sooner or later we will run out of money :\. Sooner or later we run out of oil :\. Sooner or later we have no food..cause the trains, trucks, boats and planes have no oil/gas to bring it to us. We have no medical supplies...every thing comes to a complete stop!
We can set on our bun's and let them have the world or we can fight them with passion and take their oil !
The war isn't about oil, but in the process of fighting to keep our freedom and safety...I dont mind taking over their oil!
Those that control the oil will have the last say (well until Jesus return).
Wake up Europe!
Wake up America!
What my govt, Israel, should do is to declare the Norwegian ambassador to Israel a persona non grata.
Or expel the ambassador and all embassy staff down to the level of charge' d'affaires. The c-d-a can stay so a channel of communication remains and somebody can take care of trade matters. Otherwise I don't see where having a Norwegian ambassador here does us any good. Norway has violated its duty as sponsor of the original Oslo accords of 1993. This latest outrage ought to be considered the last straw.
Expel the Quisling ambassador!!!
