1. ISRAEL DESERVES IT !
Ehud ,   Isratine   (08.24.10)
2. Honestly? I can't blame
Talula ,   Israel   (08.24.10)
We must be viewed as aggressive arrogant war mongers to the rest of the world. However, it's difficult to explain to anyone why we feel we should be able to build anywhere in our own country. But this is a country that is full of lines, barriers, criticism and a capital city to which everyone in the world feels it belongs to them. It’s a shame the Norwegians took the low road and judged us. And, as much as I love my country, as much as any Israeli citizen loves this country, it's time to understand that we cannot have it all - we either build in the West Bank and get condemned by anyone with a voice and money or we decide to take the high road and flourish as a nation and appease the rest of the world by leaving hot spots alone. I prefer the second.
3. Exemplar action:Rest of the World must do the same
Tayfun_Turkey ,   Istanbul   (08.24.10)
4. Where will Norway be in 150 years? Norwegistan?
Brian Cohen ,   Judean Peoples Front   (08.24.10)
The Norwegians are part of the European/Scandinavia suicide pact. In 3 generations Norway will probably become an Islamic state, along with most of the rest of Europe. Instead of strengthening themselves and preparing for the future, Europeans appear to have accepted the fact that they will be outbred by immigrant Muslims, who will change the nature and character of Europe.
5. To #2 Talula
Ricardo Macher ,   Karnei Shomron IL   (08.24.10)
So you believe that if we bend to the desires of self appointed judges everything will be OK? I've got news for you! The only difference is that if we are strong they will respect us, if not they will piss over us. Don't you see it?
6. In the meantime Turkish funds invest in 20 Israeli firms
Tayfun_Turkey ,   Istanbul   (08.24.10)
because they make profits unlike domestic Turkish companies cheating, lying and stealing stockholders money.
7. These Norwegian funds have no Turkish holdings
Tayfun_Turkey ,   Istanbul   (08.24.10)
because of denying independence to Kurds, brutal occupation of Cyprus, theft of Hatay/Alexandretta/Iskundren, Greek and Armenian massacres, and refusal to acknowledge and pay restitution to many millions of victims' families during Ottoman Empire to this day.
8. NORWAY ! MY DREAM LAND. HOW I WISH TO SPEND 6 MONTHS IN ...
...EVERY YEAR, THERE ,   ATİLLA KARAGÖZOĞLU   (08.24.10)
COOL PEOPLE. COOL NATURE. COOL JOY OF LIFE. NORWAY ! A POEM IN MY SOUL. I WISH I HAVENT BEEN THERE ONCE. LIFE ! LIFE ! DEAR NORWAY ! IT MAKES ME TO STAY FAR OF YOU. who meets its all dreams in this world , anyway. norway ! you dont need my help on that subject. it is clear that YOU HAVE A CHARACTER. AND YOUR CHARACTER STAND BY ITSELF.
9. Oslo can give HOPE too :)
Salma ,   Palestine   (08.24.10)
10. #Talula
Amih'ai ,   Yesha   (08.24.10)
I agree with you (except your preference !), but I have a question. Should we stop living in Yesha, how could we flourish as a nation with a nationale fracture and 500'000 news jewishs refugees, in the same time as the 9'000 ex-inhabitants of the gush katif still have no normal life ??? Socially, and economically, it'll be such a load that will do much harm to the country. And how can you be so sure it will "appease the rest of the world" ? Before 67, did the world was "appeased" ? There still so many country which just hate Israel, without any link with the "palestinian"...
11. #3: Turkey should banned!
Zub ,   Netherlands   (08.24.10)
For mass killing many kurdish people. People in the westbank/gaza have a better life than in south/east turkey.
12. To 6,7 Imposter:Harvard Sold Israeli Equities&BOUGHT TURKISH
Tayfun_Turkey ,   Istanbul   (08.24.10)
Firms That is you read only half of the facts about HARVARD DIVESTMENT of Israeli equities, they also reinvested this money in Turkish equities Is this enough slap in your face? Thanks for mimicing me, we need more and more Tayfun_Turkeys!
13. #2: YOU ARE A REAL TALALULA!
Israeli 2   (08.24.10)
14. Let me talk to these Norwegians, I know their language
tom ,   tel aviv   (08.24.10)
15. Apartments??
chaim ,   Israel   (08.24.10)
Hold on everyone who criticizes Israel, since when did it become a crime to BUILD APARTMENTS???? In one's own land, nonetheless. This is the land that Israel rightly captured. The US builds apartments in its territory every day, in land that it also captured during wars, and many other countries can say the same. Should we also divest in these real estate companies?? No--it's only Israel that gets blame for building apartments, and terrorist organizations get no blame for their heinous actions. We should be divesting WORLDWIDE in companies that give money or perform services for HAMAS, ISLAMIC JIHAD, and formally recognized terrorist organizations of this matter.
16. :: Good news!
Matty Groves ,   Fairport   (08.24.10)
The Global BDS Movement will stop when Israel stops oppressing the Palestinian People and occupying their land. Until that happens there are plenty of ME SWFs which do not contain Israeli companies that European nations can invest in.
17. Others wait in line to take over these great investments!
Robert Renders ,   belgium   (08.24.10)
The only ones losing here is the Norwau oil fund. Those investments have a great return on investment, a,d many other funds are waiting in line to take over. So who cares.
18. #8 And yes, they have great SANATORIUMS for the likes of you
(08.24.10)
19. Israeli wins worldwide business competition...
Tayfun_Turkey ,   Istambul   (08.24.10)
http://www.ynetnews.com/articles/0,7340,L-3936821,00.html Which competition has ANY Turk won lately? Ah, yes! The Muslim World Racism and Hatred Competition! Congratulations!
20. The crocodile and its feeder
anat ,   Jerusalem area   (08.24.10)
As Magdi Allam (great man!) said once about Europe and Islam: Europe acts towards islam like someone who is feeding a crocodile hoping he will eat them last.
21. Wise investors
Raphael ,   Netanya   (08.24.10)
These norwegian freyers are going to invest into the Nablus stock exchange. Good luck to your bucks!
22. Again with the crap
Danny   (08.24.10)
Didn't we only last week hear that Harvard was divesting? No chance of course that Africa Israel are crappy investments at all right?
23. All Turkish firms secretly seek Israeli business
Tayfun_Turkey ,   Istanbul   (08.24.10)
and Harvard is actually investing only in Kurdish and Armenian firms based in Turkey. Ethnic Turks war criminals are not welcomed at Harvard.
24. To the turk
Alex ,   NYC   (08.24.10)
I would keep my mouth shut if I were you. Just take a peek at your backyard and see the atrocities that you committed against the Armenians.
25. WHO CARE WHAT NORWAY DOES OR THINKS?
CHRIS ,   WALES   (08.24.10)
NORWAY HAVE A STRANGE LOVE AFFAIR WITH ISLAM Who cares what Norway thinks?they are among the worst anti-Semitic-Anti-Israeli Country in Europe. leave them be,God will Curse those who curse Israel. the dreadful Absurd 'Oslo accord' was born in this Anti-Israeli nation too don't Forget,the connection is clear. The Scandenevians have a love affair with the muslim World!
26. bad joke
Ilana   (08.24.10)
And other countries that they do business with are all, I am sure, quite protective of human rights. Definition: Hypocrisy is the act of pretending to have beliefs, opinions, virtues, feelings, qualities, or standards that one does not actually have. Hypocrisy involves the deception of others and is thus a kind of lie. Hypocrisy is not simply failing to practice those virtues that one preaches.
27. To 19-23 Imposter: See recent IT competition Iran beat Israe
Tayfun_Turkey ,   Istanbul   (08.24.10)
You should not miss how Iran beat in IT competition Israeli team But that is not only Country beating Israel Turkey also beat Israel in IT Competition for years See Web Site Historical data As for Kurdish or ARmenian business Harvard invest in Istanbul Stock Exchange quoted Companies they are owned by many shareholders if you buy even you will be a shareholder so there is no kurdish or Armenian but only equities in TURKEY or not.
28. I totally agree with Tayfun_turkey 19&23
(08.24.10)
29. I completely disagree with the fake Tayafunny 3,12,27
(08.24.10)
30. #27 Zoroastrian Iranians are smart and Arians
(08.24.10)
Turks are stupid Muslim Mongols from Central Asia, their only accomplishment is non-stop massacres of non-Turks.
