Ms.Inger Lise Hansen, the official in question, has since stated that she is a friend of Israel. This is probably true, and perhaps the conservatives of the Christian Democrats could [...] Posted on Philosemitism and Juif.org: Le quotidien Aftenposten a publié un article (consultable sur lesite du journal) sur les raisons pour lesquelles l’ambassade d’Israël à Oslo est obligée de quitter l’immeuble qu’elle occupe au Parkveien (Avenue du Parc) et de chercher à se loger ailleurs. Ont-ils fait quelque chose de répréhensible ? Mais pas du tout.
