Just an example from Belgium. In my local supermarket Israeli products have all but disappeared from the shelves. On the other hand I can now find pistachio nuts and caviar from Iran, of all places. In this case the boycot of Israeli products is for purely commercial reasons since many customers are Muslims or typical European Leftists who have grown to hate everything Israeli.

I wouldn't go as far as saying 'reminds the world' ..... Anyway, some these 'natives' as you put it may well have been here since time immemorial just as there has always been a Jewish presence, sometimes more sometimes less. Many Arabs in and around Akko have blue eyes, and it ain't from cinnamon, Rob...it's from the Crusaders! There's always been trouble in this neck of the woods. Seriously, Rob..do you begrudge us wandering Jews our little bit of turf? http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/United_Nations_Partition_Plan_for_Palestine Eitan makes a good point in his #22 post

I never heard of any. As opposed to the Israeli ones which churn out inventions and Nobel prizes. Who cares what these idiots with too much time on their hands think.

Spain re-occupied?

Thanx for this good news Bart, you made my day!

"Stolen?" Really? The following is an excerpt from Mark Twain's "Innocents Abroad," which puts paid once and for all to the Palestinian myth of lush olive groves and orchards. Hard to believe that the fertile and forested Galilee of today is the bleak, desolate and abandoned Galilee that Mark Twain visited. "Of all the lands there are for dismal scenery, I think Palestine must be the prince. The hills are barren, they are dull of color, they are unpicturesque in shape. The valleys are unsightly deserts fringed with a feeble vegetation that has an expression about it of being sorrowful and despondent. The Dead Sea and the Sea of Galilee sleep in the midst of a vast stretch of hill and plain wherein the eye rests upon no pleasant tint, no striking object, no soft picture dreaming in a purple haze or mottled with the shadows of the clouds. Every outline is harsh, every feature is distinct, there is no perspective -- distance works no enchantment here. It is a hopeless, dreary, heart-broken land. " "Palestine sits in sackcloth and ashes. Over it broods the spell of a curse that has withered its fields and fettered its energies. Where Sodom and Gomorrah reared their domes and towers, that solemn sea now floods the plain, in whose bitter waters no living thing exists -- over whose waveless surface the blistering air hangs motionless and dead -- about whose borders nothing grows but weeds, and scattering tufts of cane, and that treacherous fruit that promises refreshment to parching lips, but turns to ashes at the touch. Nazareth is forlorn; about that ford of Jordan where the hosts of Israel entered the Promised Land with songs of rejoicing, one finds only a squalid camp of fantastic Bedouins of the desert; Jericho the accursed, lies a moldering ruin, to-day, even as Joshua's miracle left it more than three thousand years ago; Bethlehem and Bethany, in their poverty and their humiliation, have nothing about them now to remind one that they once knew the high honor of the Saviour's presence; the hallowed spot where the shepherds watched their flocks by night, and where the angels sang Peace on earth, good will to men, is untenanted by any living creature, and unblessed by any feature that is pleasant to the eye. Renowned Jerusalem itself, the stateliest name in history, has lost all its ancient grandeur, and is become a pauper village; the riches of Solomon are no longer there to compel the admiration of visiting Oriental queens; the wonderful temple which was the pride and the glory of Israel, is gone, and the Ottoman crescent is lifted above the spot where, on that most memorable day in the annals of the world, they reared the Holy Cross. The noted Sea of Galilee, where Roman fleets once rode at anchor and the disciples of the Saviour sailed in their ships, was long ago deserted by the devotees of war and commerce, and its borders are a silent wilderness; Capernaum is a shapeless ruin; Magdala is the home of beggared Arabs; Bethsaida and Chorazin have vanished from the earth, and the "desert places" round about them where thousands of men once listened to the Saviour's voice and ate the miraculous bread, sleep in the hush of a solitude that is inhabited only by birds of prey and skulking foxes." For the record, the land did not become desirable until the Jews reclaimed the desert and drained the swamps. Also for the record, the land was purchased from the Ottoman Turks. It was theirs to sell. The fact is that Palestine was a dank and dismal backwater of the Ottoman Empire that had been abandoned by everyone -- except the Jews. We stole nothing. We bought the land from the Turkish owners, in properly executed contractual arrangements. The Palestinians were your quintessential nomads. They'd use up, destroy and move on. Educate yourself just a tadbit.

are welcome to it. Just as Norway belongs to the native people of Norway... those who live there. But lets say the Norwegian moves to Scotland..(one of my friends is half Scottish .. Half Norwegian) when his father moved to Scotland in WW11 .. it would be unwise of him .. to think that perhaps 100 generations on, his decendents could return to Norway and just pick up where he had let off. after all his son considers himself Scottish and his turf is in Scotland. Bless Norway NTNU that they support the native People of Palestine.

RJBH, I know it's hard for you to see our point of view., Whereas it was deemed by the League of Nations that the Jews should have a homeland in their ancestral home, (where there's archaeological proof in and on the ground) Mefinks these Norwegians are feeling a little super sensitive to their own past and are therefore over compensating by siding with the Pals. Anyway Rob, for the record The Sami are the native Norwegians and we certainly don't have a problem with them

Norwegians are no longer the proud Vikings. A crazy homosexual is maire of Oslo and when you walk in Oslo, you see the hate-beards and burka's everywhere, followed by the Nigerian whores at night. barack HUSSEIN obama does get the nobel-prize for kneeling for a Muslim King who spreads terrorism by paying for mosks to spread his salafist islam. Norway is the Pariah from Europe together with Sweden.

Spaniards suffer of Stockholm syndrome...

The science is influenced from culture and philisophy of world esse. If Norway under Islam (antecedently, under Nazies) is not recognizing the really, will be found in the dark Middle Age.

The university is not boycotting Universities in China, Sudan, Saudi Arabia, Libya, etc., etc. despite egregious human rights abuses there and elsewhere. But of course Israel is _different_ : it is a Jewish state, so different rules apply!

Fine...let Norway be overrun by Muslim radicals...it will be Norway's just reward!

If the boycott is instated, remember that date for it will begin the start of many woes for NTNU that you will be able to trace to this act.
