Norwegian Communist leader nominates Hamas-inspired BDS movement for 2018 Nobel Peace Prize

Feb 7, 2018 6:54 am By Christine Douglass-Williams

The Boycott, Divestment, and Sanctions (BDS) movement is a Hamas-inspired initiative that aims to use various forms of public protest, economic pressure, and court rulings to advance the Hamas agenda of permanently destroying Israel as a Jewish nation-state

Now the Boycott, Divestment and Sanctions (BDS) movement for so-called “Palestinian rights” “has been nominated for the 2018 Nobel Peace Prize. Formal nomination for the prestigious award” was made by a Norwegian MP.

There is nothing peaceful about the BDS movement. Once again we see how closely the Left has merged its interests with those of the global jihad.

“BDS nominated for 2018 Nobel Peace Prize”, Middle East Monitor, February 5, 2018:

The Boycott, Divestment and Sanctions (BDS) movement for Palestinian rights has been nominated for the 2018 Nobel Peace Prize. Formal nomination for the prestigious award was made last week by the Norwegian MP and leader of the Red Party, Bjørnar Moxness.

In a statement announcing the nomination, the Parliamentary Group, which includes a number of left-wing parties, said that the selection of BDS for a Nobel Peace Prize reflected “the growing international solidarity with the Palestinian struggle for justice, dignity and freedom from the Israeli occupation”.

Explaining their nomination, the Parliamentary Group said that the BDS campaign is a non-violent movement for freedom, equality and a just peace for the Palestinian people and was therefore being nominated for the prestigious prize.

Moxness, who is leading the campaign for BDS to be honoured in Oslo at the end of the year, said:

Awarding this year’s Nobel Peace Prize to the BDS movement would be a powerful signal, emphasising the international community’s commitment to support a just peace for the Palestinian people and by that – for the Israeli people and all people in the Middle East – and the world at large.

In his comments to MEMO, Moxness was keen to point out that the intention behind the nomination was “first and foremost pro-Palestinian, not anti-Israeli”. Having said that, the Norwegian politician expects a backlash: “We are well aware that the current right-wing government of Israel tends to try to criminalise any attempt to convince Israel to abide by international law and end the occupation and oppression of Palestine and the Palestinians.”

Asked about the kind of opposition he is likely to face, he said: “We nominated the BDS movement for the Nobel Peace Prize well aware that this perfectly legitimate nomination of a perfectly legitimate movement that fights for a legitimate cause – that of the Palestinians – with legitimate peaceful means, will meet some resistance, typically in the form of smearing campaigns and the like. In the face of that kind of opposition, the challenge is to stay focus on the main cause, freedom for the Palestinians, and to stay focused on what we see as our humble contribution to that cause, an attempt to start a positive international campaign in favour of awarding the Nobel Peace Prize to the BDS movement.”

One of the main reasons BDS groups cite for endorsing the campaign is the double standard when it comes to Israel. Alluding to this tendency the Red Party’s press statement mentioned Norway’s January 2018 decision to “officially impose sanctions and restrictions against 26 different states or regions due to breeches of international laws and human rights but not against the state of Israel – despite Israeli occupation, annexation and collective punishment of the Palestinian people”….

      It would be nice to live on a safe planet, watching the fun when the Commies and Idiot Libs (I’m making a distinction here) have their “pathetic” ally turn on them and eat them alive. Unfortunately, this is our only planet, so we’ll have to fight to keep ourselves alive.

        I believe the 30,000 executed Iranian Commies by the Ayatollah, who were their allies in the overthrow of the Shaw, should have woke them up.

          Lefties never learn from history, Mac. They always think that the reason socialism never worked in the past is that THEY weren’t there to show the other buggers how it should be done.

    The Nobel Peace Prize has been a bad joke since Yasser Arafat won it in 1994.

    No surprise. The majority of Europeans value Chamberlain-esque “peace in our time” above all else including Churchill-ian “victory in spite of all terror”

    • StellaSaidSo says

      Feb 7, 2018 at 8:16 am

      Nonsense. The European people have absolutely no say in who wins the Nobel Peace Prize.

      • Rob says

        Feb 7, 2018 at 10:50 am

        You might be missing my point. Norwegians, being European, are exemplary of the glorification and elevation of leftist/pacifist notions of the peace of appeasement at any cost rather than the peace that arises from victory over enemies in a war of existential stakes. That is whey they like to nominate terrorists like Arafat and terror-supporting groups like Hamas for humanitarian awards.

        • StellaSaidSo says

          Feb 7, 2018 at 11:15 am

          So, when you said ‘the majority of Europeans’, what you really meant was ‘the majority of Norwegians’. Gosh, I wonder how I could have missed that.

          I suspect that the Europeans who fought and died and suffered hardship during two world wars might take issue with the assertion that they were in favour of ‘the peace of appeasement at any cost’.

    It would be very easy to boycott anything made by “Palestinians ” you know the Jordanians ,and others who started to squat on Israel after leaving it. hoping for Israel,s death and destruction in the 1940s . What do the “Palestinians make or produce in Israel ,rock throwing teen ages, suicide bombers getting life time pensions for families? Do they the Palestinians hope for their children to become good useful citizens with education , jobs in Israel ,or a propose in life except for the males being terrorist followers or and terror leaders. It would be a very short list indeed to boycott what the Palestinians have to offer to the world. Hate from the cradle to the grave is what the Palestinian leaders produce to keep a group of people in victimhood to receive foreign aid. The leaders{for life} steal most of the aid money while pimping out their own people to the world as poor victims of the only country in that piss hole of the Middle East that has the Golden rule of law .Only country in the Middle East where woman are given rights and not treated as objects or livestock. A country that has free elections, high literacy rate , a high standard of living for the Moslems living there {especial the uneducated ones}.Where Jews ,Christians ,Moslems are free to worship by the law of the land. Were they have trials for crimes ,have and obey basic human rights laws. The large majority of Palestinians are poorly educated ,lead easily by leaders who promise them things they could not would not deliver. If they did get their own country the leaders would have to run it without the foreign aid that victimhood produces. The leaders who have to make decisions without having the Jews as skate goats for their people miserable conditions .The people might question were did all the money go ,why are there no jobs , who will build and pay for garbage collection , schools , hospitals , roads , sewage removal,? As the new Palestinian state sinks to join it other Islamic states in either violent strong man rule or violent fractured 6 or 7 small states each rule by a terror warlord. They will fight and kill each other all Moslems fighting and killing other Moslems like much of the Middle East.

      Replace Palestinians with Kashmiris, and Israel with India, and everything you said also holds true. It’s fanaticism, death and destruction vs secularism, pluralism and democracy. Be it in Israel, or be it in India. The fight is not just against the jihadi violence, but against the taqiya lies in the media, peddled by willing agent provocateurs like the left. May God give our Jewish brothers in Israel, and my countrymen, the Hindus of India, the resilience to win against this persistent evil.

        i thought so,
        it is for sure true,
        i looked it up a few years ago on the Nobel official website after someone mentioned it.
        the bar is rather low in light of that.

    The fact is Islam will book no peace where ever it spreads ,be it India ,Europe ,Middle East, Africa, Asia or the Americas. May its followers be they be the red hair English converts bomb makers, Philippine Pirates, Black Islamic terrorist burning raping African villages ,blue eyed blond hair Albanian Americans planning to shoot up an American Army base in New Jersey {born and raise there}. What is the common factor ,race no , spoken language no , economic level no, social status no, education level no, native born or new refugee no, rich or poor no .The only factor is they are following true Islam as in their holy book the Koran by their model man of the world Mohammed .They are the best of people and we the Kafir are just creatures to be used and abused by the” best of people”. The true Islam hates all non-Moslems be the Hindi ,Jew, Christian or anyone not Moslem enough for their taste. Why the media has feed us this tripe of religion of peace which many leaders swallow whole from the leaders of Western Europe to the current Pope the Dope is beyond me.

      “No one with good conscience should invest in business entity connected to fascist evil zionist state of Israel ,because it tantamounts to assets leverages for the evil state to get incomes to be used in sheding palestinian bloods.”

      Israel is neither fascist nor evil, and there is no such people as “the Palestinians”.
      Israel treats the Arab population far better than the rest of the ME does.
      The Jordan was granted 81% of Palestine and Israel a tiny 19%.
      You want the last 19% too because you have nothing in your silly head but hate.
      The only people causing blood-shed are yourselves.
      Any problems you have are caused by your own lack of civilisation.

        Good post, Phil. Of course the buffoon has been told before, but nothing ever penetrates. He claims that he was born in Nigeria to Arab parents, but his low literacy level and matching IQ suggest African origin. Not that Arabs are famous for their intellects, but they do score consistently higher than Africans on standard IQ tests.

      Yeah and everybody needs to associate themselves with Sharia infested Barbaric medieval states that kill gays and apostates, cuts heads with swords, oppresses its own people. Kills infidels, cuts hands for thieving, but allows men to have four wives and as many as Milk al yamin they want, does not allow religious freedom for any other religion, promulgates stupid fatwas saying that the earth is stationary and the sun is small and goes around the earth, oppresses women to move about in tents,

      These very states depend on the same Zionist Israeli and Western technology for oil drilling(and many of them cannot even manufacture even a small thing like a needle), without which either they will be humping goats or camels when they are done with their wives and milk al yamin and hunting lizards for food and taking camels urine after this for treating any other disease they acquire after their sexual rampages!!!
