Norway Ambassador Justifies Terrorism Against Israel

Norway's ambassador to Israel distinguishes between the terrorist attack in his country and "palestinian" terrorism against Israel. He justifies terrorism against Israel as being due to "occupation". Occupation of its own country? What a cretin. This is morally reprehensible. But then again Norway and most of Europe lacks any moral compass. Nothing will alter Norway's vehemently anti-Israel attitudes. Perhaps he should consider that the islamic invasion of Norway and the leftists enabling of it is what drove this guy to mass murder. Perhaps some introspection on the part of Norway and its liberal multicultural policies is in order and for them to understand what the far left Norwegian government has done to breed the likes of Breivik. Let's take a page out of the liberal playbook and discuss the "root causes" of his anger.

Norway's Ambassador to Israel: Murdering Norwegians Bad, Murdering Israelis GoodTue Jul 26, 2011 18:25 from Atlas Shrugs by Pamela Geller.He says that both are "morally unacceptable," but then he turns around and justifies the "Palestinian" attacks on Israeli civilians as a response to the "occupation" and says that Hamas has to be given legitimacy and a place in the "negotiations."

Envoy contrasts terror in Israel, Norway JTA July 26, 2011 (hat tip Gateway)

JERUSALEM (JTA) -- Norway's ambassador to Israel drew distinctions between the Oslo and Utoya massacres and Palestinian terrorism.

Svein Sevje said in an Israeli newspaper interview Tuesday that while the Norwergian bomb and gun rampages that killed 76 people and Palestinian attacks should both be considered morally unacceptable, he wanted to "outline the similarity and the difference in the two cases."

Palestinians, the ambassador told Maariv, "are doing this because of a defined goal that is related to the Israeli occupation. There are elements of revenge against Israel and hatred of Israel. To this you can add the religious element to their actions."

Yes, a "religious element" that wants to destroy the Jewish state and initiate a new genocide of the Jews.


"In the case of the terror attack in Norway, the murderer had an ideology that says that Norway, particularly the Labor Party, is forgoing Norwegian culture," Sevje said, referring to suspect Anders Breivik, a Christian nativist who is opently anti-Islam and anti-immigration.

Unlike European Union states, Norway has engaged Hamas and often been fiercely critical of Israel, to Jerusalem's dismay.

While Sevje voiced sympathy for Israeli terror victims, having experienced "the inferno" of such attacks during his posting, he saw little chance of Norway reviewing its Middle East policies.

"We Norwegians consider the occupation to be the cause of the terror against Israel," he said. "Those who believe this will not change their mind because of the attack in Oslo."

He added, "Can Israel and the Palestinians solve the problems without Hamas? I don't think so."
