1. Norway shows what side it is on...
(05.21.07)
They can claim all they like that they 'insist' the rockets have to stop but with cash in hand, what's their motivation? The Unity Gov't hasn't lifted one finger in regards making peace with Israel, not a single definable gesture. Why does Norway feel that Palestinians need to be rewarded? There are no moderates in the government, both Fatah and Hamas want Israel destroyed, what they differ on is timeline and method.
2. disgrace

Israel should withhold any kind of intelligence sharing with Norway, as punishment for this appeasement.
3. An aide-based economy
Steve ,   USA   (05.21.07)
B"H If the basis of the economy is outside aide, that is not teaching the fisherman to fish, but rather fishing for the fisherman. The basis of the Gaza economy is a war economy that mobilizes the mercenaries against Israel. The fewer domestic jobs there are, the better the labor pool for mercenery endevours, and Hamas has a broader range of people to choose from for attacking Israel. The main difficulty with establishing a peaceful economy is that Hamas destroys it so that it has labor from which to attack Israel. But the lack of aide is not the primary reason for the suffering. It is the established Hamas mercenery system that is causing problems. If Norway really cares, I suggest they rid the Arabs of this Hamas lordship so that a peaceful economy can take root. Quote: That suspension of direct aid led to an economic crisis in the Palestinian Authority, disrupting health care and other government-funded programs and halting infrastructure projects.
4. Time to expell their ambassador
Gee ,   Zikrov Yaakov Israel   (05.21.07)
It is now time to tell the Norwegians there is a price to pay for supporting terrorism. Recall our ambassador and close their embassy here.
5. good thing too, since
jack bauer ,   usa   (05.21.07)
the palistinians need more funding to make and shoot off some more of those frigging rockets
6. norway
stanley lazerus ,   tel mond, Israel   (05.21.07)
yesterday was the last time I bought smoked salmon from norway, I WILL NOT buy any more norwegian products. A boycott seems in order even if I have to miss my lox and bagels.
7. PUT NORWAY NEXT TO GAZA. SEE HOW LONG "DONATIONS" FLOW.
Scott   (05.22.07)
I'd like to see how these morons would handle the situation if they had to swap places with the Israelis. They are a pathetic joke of a country that is aiding ,abetting ,rewarding despicable behaviour. WELL DONE HYPOCRITES
8. Its a priest thats sorted it all out.
Lars ,   Sverige   (05.22.07)
9. More money to buy arms to kill each
Roch ,   Albuquerque NM, USA   (05.22.07)
and place bombs on their women and children. O and lets not forget they insist on Israel's destruction. Good investment? Don't get it and I guess that is a good thing.
10. Why not save time and just send weapons
