1. Surely they must boycott Syrian and Iranian goods as well.
Tahl ,   Israel   (12.22.05)
After all, these countries export terrorism on a worldly scale, and oppress the Kurds, as well as their own citizens, on a regular basis - far worse than any Israeli 'oppression' of Palestinians for the sake of security. So surely Iran and Syria are included in this boycott. Because after all, the Norwegians are wise, justice-seeking, moralistic, impartial people, who cannot possibly pick only on Israel, while at the same time turning a blind eye to rogue Arab regimes. Right?...
2. NO Government response
Yossi K. ,   Ra'anana   (12.22.05)
The ADL responds to this but not the Israeli Government? They are all too busy with their lust for power. Where is the Israeli response?
3. Boycot Norway
Avraham ,   Netivot   (12.22.05)
Boot the Norwegin ambassador from Israel & boycott Norwegin products. The only thing we import from them is salmon & other fish products. Norway, we don't need you or your products. Go home!
4. norway sucks big time anyway
(12.22.05)
5. Shun France
Jesse ,   Chicago, IL   (12.22.05)
6. # 1 - Tahl
Don ,   Toronto   (12.22.05)
1- Is Syria or Iran in violation of 67 rpt 67 U.N. Resolutions ?? 2- Does Syria or Iran occupy or had annexed territories that belong to other nations ? 3- Did either Syria or Iran build an apartheid wall and deprived other people of basics of decent living.. and on and on .... Instead of blaming others and finding lame execuses, look at the heart of the problem and clean your house before first. Right ?....
7. Good Move, ALL Hail Norway!
Lunphey ,   Washington   (12.22.05)
The accelerated Israeli seizure of the West Bank and East Jerusalem is illegal and displacing thousands more innocents. Nobody should buy until the state obeys international law.
8. change inside
Salam   (12.22.05)
Israel won the wor the goverments and polititions ...but stil far to convince populations ,,,, work inside twards Palestinian rights is the way ...to have everyting ....at the same time ....hard to have ....no peace talks .... confiscation of lad assasinations ....walls ...and the falisitation of goverments ....but never the populations ...DO SOMTHING ON THE GROUND TO COVICE LOOBING IS NOT ENGHT
9. The Biggest Boycott EVER!
Logic ,   Israel   (12.22.05)
That's it, no more Mr. nice guy! I'm not buying anymore IKEA. (On second thought, that's Sweedish. ) Ok then, I'm not buying anymore Nokia phones. (Nevermind, that's Finnish.) So what the heck do they export in Norway other than holier-than-thou morality?
10. Boycott Norwegian goods
someone ,   somewhere   (12.22.05)
There is only one reason to boycott Israel without boycotting Syria, Iran and the Sudan -- all of which have human rights records that are 100x worse than that of Israel. That reason is anti-Semitism. What a shame. I used to have some respect for Norwegians. Let's all join the anti-whaling people and boycott Norwegian goods. And no, we won't boycott Japan at the same time. Sor-Trondelag isn't being fair or balanced. What goes around comes around.
11. But they did nothing about the suicide bombers
eyal ,   TLV   (12.22.05)
Another anti-semitic bunch.
12. # 10: ANTI-SEMITISM ?????? U CRY BABIES !!
(12.22.05)
13. Strange Boycott
Steven ,   Toronto   (12.22.05)
Of all the countries in the world why are they boycotting Israel? Look at Iran, North Korea, Libya, Syria, China and I have to assume they are doing this out of odious anti-semitism
14. norway boycott
jeff ray ,   new york   (12.22.05)
Boycotts can work 2 ways. I for 1 will now not buy any Norwiegn products. I will pass this information on to all that I know, and hope all of you that read this do like wise !
15. What else can one expect?
Kate ,   London   (12.22.05)
What else can one expect from the Quisling Nation? It doesn't matter how low Jewish expectations are, Norway always lives down to them.
16. Re: #28
Kate ,   London   (12.22.05)
#28 is, of course, Richard Hitchings of Methil, UK. Note the typical SMS spelling of "you" and the outrageously bad grammar.
17. WELL DONE
john   (12.22.05)
Israel deserves this.....very much.
18. BOYCOTT NORWAY
ROBERT ,   usa   (12.22.05)
IN RESPONSE WE SHOUD BOYCOTT ALL THINGS FROM NORWAY - ESPECIALLY THE OSLO ACCORDS!!!
19. TO #9
R   (12.22.05)
THEY ONLY EXPORT HATRED OF THE JEWS/ISRAELIS - SEE OSLO ACCORD
20. Maybe we should listen to Norway
Andrew ,   Miami,FL USA   (12.22.05)
Norway has always been a country known for good will - has always been good to its jewish population ... When they say israel may have a real problem - Israel should listen Israel must decide - reclaimation of the land is not always pretty...it must learn to take the criticism and move ahead without appology...
21. Norway, an example for the world to follow.
accessol ,   Spelthorne, England   (12.22.05)
Thank you Norway, this is an even better Christmas present than your lovely Xmas Trees. May your fish supplies remain unpoluted, tasty and plentiful and may your oil and natural gas supplies last forever.
22. Norwegians. What a bunch of you know whats.
(12.22.05)
Hello, my name is helga munts-daughter! I come from oslo, and I want to play video games and save the verld! One day, I vould like to star in those cheepo porn movies that Accessol likes to watch in his spare time while his mommys out shopping I know accessols a kinky little boy so Ill even wear a viking helmet just for him. With lederhosen.
23. Accessol, an example for all Jew-haters to follow
Kate ,   London   (12.22.05)
24. A response to Andrew
Kate ,   London   (12.22.05)
"Norway has always been a country known for good will - has always been good to its jewish population " Norway actually has always had a strain of vicious anti-Semitism. During World War II, there was massive Norwegian collaboration under the Quisling administration, a collaboration which ended up in the murder of of half of Norway's Jewish population and the theft of virtually all Jewish property by the Norwegian state (much of which was never returned). When America listens to the much more biting criticism of her own policy by Europe and makes proper restitution for the land it acquired in a process of outright theft and genocide, then maybe you'll have a right to say something about this matter.
25. boycott
jk ,   mtl   (12.22.05)
Norway then must boycott all medical procedures and medicin discovered or produced by Jews and see how long the population of Norway live.
26. 21 ACCESSOL :: AAAAAMMMMEEEEEN
(12.22.05)
27. Americans in Ohio are already boycotting Israel's
Stephen, S ,   Toronto, US   (12.22.05)
Here in Toronto and in the rest of Ohio, we don't buy Israel's good. Our reps here in the US can't overly vote for such initiative as they're constantly blackmailed and threatened. We consider Israel a facsist state that has to go. It has to cease to exist and give the stolen lands and properties to the Palestinian people. International community has to compensate the people for the genocide commited during Israel's occupation. More and more countries are taking similar steps. We think we'll isolate Israel as we did for Apartheid South Africa. Similar fate waits facsist Israel.
28. Give the Palestinians a job
Steven Wilson ,   Anchorage, Alaska   (12.22.05)
Just when you thought you had the free trade thing down, Norway goes and changes the rules. Give some Palestinians a Job stamping made in Gaza on your products. That will make the Norwegians feel that the PLO and Hammas aren't being oppressed, as they strap on their bomb belts ,for a road trip to the Israeli territories. I'm glad you got the Heavy Water before they got religion.
29. Good . . . they shouldn't use any
Alfred   (12.22.05)
items invented on Israeli soil either. So, stop using that cell phone, Intel computer chip, etc.
30. Oh . .. and we'll boycott Oslo (finally).
Alfred   (12.22.05)
