Almost every week it seems, some prominent Norwegian steps up and demands that some sort of action be taken against the state of Israel. Last week it was the Bishops’ Boycott, which fortunately was called of. Now it’s the Red Cross.
Unauthorized translation from Dagenmagazinet:
Wants Norwegian Jews scrutinized for war-crimes
New information show that several Norwegian, Swedish and Danish citizens serve as soldiers in the Israeli forces. The Israelis have repeatedly been accused of being responsible for transgressions against the Palestinians in the occupied territories.
– If Israel herself does not investigate these actions, Norwegian authorities ought to consider whether to start investigations, and after that eventually initiate investigations and prosecution, says Director of Communications Bernt G. Apeland in the Red Cross to NRK.
Scrutinize Israel, then. Investigate and punish.
Indeed.
Hi,

Hi JSS
Believe it or not but it turns out a few Norwegians have served in the IDF and the Norwegian Red Cross wants to scrutinize these guys for war-crimes. Now far more civilians have been killed in Afghanistan than during Cast Lead. The difference between the wars in Afghanistan and Gaza does of course not lie with the tactics of the enemy – both Hamas and the Taliban hide behind the civilian population – but the war in Afghanistan involves Norwegian soldiers whereas the war in Gaza involved Israeli soldiers. So fighting the Taliban for Norway in Afghanistan is ok, according to the Norwegian Red Cross, but fight the genocidal Hamas in Gaza and you face scrutiny for war-crimes. You could not make this up.
