J Goodman ,   Berkshire, England   (02.21.11)
Norway tries to present itself as a liberal country but in reality it is truly anti-semetic.
32. It's not the embassy
john   (02.21.11)
It's not the embassy that poses a security risk - it's the people wanting to do it harm. That is who the Norwegians should be focusing on.
33. Israel must demand Norway transfer its embassy to Jerusalem
leo ,   usa   (02.21.11)
withing a year. That will be adequate response.
34. Oslo Embassy in Jerusalem (tit for tat) .
Roland Seener ,   London England   (02.21.11)
35. I am ashamed being a non-Jewish Norwegian with
SD ,   Oslo   (02.21.11)
this kind of behaviour by my government.
36. Israeli Embassy In Norway
TAHRIR QUDS ALYAHUDI   (02.21.11)
This is an excuse from the Norwegian Government. Norway wants to join the Islamic countries,and they found this crap. Best thing for Israel is to break diplomatic relationship with Norway,and Norway can go to HELL
37. no 21
OSLO ACCORDS   (02.21.11)
Agreed trash the Oslo accords,and flash the papers in the toilet in Oslo
38. do we need an embassy in norway? are they worthy of one?
ralph   (02.21.11)
39. "Demands?" That's a two-way street
Sarah B ,   U.S.A. / Israel   (02.21.11)
Israel could demand that Norway close its embassy in Tel Aviv and relocate to Jerusalem which is, after all, Israel's capital. I am so sick to death of the Europeans. Europe is old news, anyway; I don't see a point to fashioning closer ties or improved relations with the Europeans. They are crazy if they don't think that the tumult racing through the Arab and Moslem world will pass them by. It won't. It's coming. Then they can regale us with stories about how well multiculturalism is working.
40. Norway disgust me.
Margaret ,   Germany   (02.21.11)
41. #23, Robert
E ,   Canada   (02.21.11)
Actually, your statement is not quite true. In many places in the world the diplomatic district has become a very desirable place to live. An extreme example is Al Khobar where many locals desire to live within the British consular compound.
42. Norway
Freha Barblida ,   Gibraltar   (02.21.11)
Look , is that necessary in our advanced technological times to have a "real-time" blocks and motars presence instead of a virtual materialising through , Twiter , FaceBook, Youtube, and other websites. OPnce such a constructive formula is working, we basecaly ought to ask Norway to do the same. In our so-called problem solving era, its about time to change Maeterling Diplomatic ventures, which were germain spies ring in every Embassy. Norway may keep its territory and Israel its resources and open-up new way of conducting DIPLOMACY.
43. #39 EU's 16 trillion worth, 2 trill MORE than USA is worth
Yoni ,   Eilat   (02.21.11)
Israel cutting all ties with Europe. As you're American you wont really understand the vast power, incl input/export power of Europe, which is not something I think smart people would encourage. Israels economy is small, very small, Ireland even in its worst recession in decades is wealthier than Israel. I am Israeli, not Olim and not loved up by Israel all the time, we make mistakes, I understand where I am from and realisitically where we are at and falling out with the big top dogs of the world is not one of them, thanks Sarah. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_countries_by_GDP_(nominal)
44. Yoni @ 43, you got confused $14T is not US worth, but US
leo ,   usa   (02.21.11)
debt. Are you telling me EU's worth is barely over US's debt? Not much to brag about, is there.
45. #39
Pete ,   UK   (02.21.11)
Maybe Norway could move its embassy close to the US embassy in Jerusalem........oops just checked US embassy is in Tel Aviv. I wonder why that is?
46. To: No. 43
Sarah B ,   U.S.A. / Israel   (02.21.11)
$16 trillion divided up among how many countries? Greece is bankrupt. Spain is getting there, as are Romania and Hungary. Portugal, too. I don't know where you're getting your information about Ireland, but it is about three years out of date. Ireland is struggling. There is much resentment from the countries that are reasonably financially solid who do not want to pay the debts of the weak sisters. So much for your big dogs. The North Sea oil is expected to run out within the decade. Norway will go back to being the second poorest country in Europe.
47. Have you even read the article???
Miriam ,   Norway   (02.21.11)
It doesnt say Norway wants the Israeli embassy gone - it wants it MOVED as was AGREED to by Israel 10 years ago! I'm living here with my Israeli partner, and I think its so sad that such a straightforward mutual agreement can be used as another "example" of how Norway treats Israel badly...there is a lot of support for Israel here, but some of you people who comment here just dont want it it seems.
48. To: No. 45
Sarah B ,   U.S.A. / Israel   (02.21.11)
That's a pretty stupid question. Are you really that intellectually challenged? Pity.
49. get out while you can
alan ,   toronto   (02.21.11)
its only a matter of time before the jihadists secure full control. Its not like Israel does a lot of buisness with them. Also there are very few jews there
50. Norse, Norwegians, Scandinavians...
KB ,   US   (02.21.11)
pitiful to read that such a race has succumbed to the moon-god and political correctness. They have aborted their future. What happened to the "VIKINGS" of Lore? I guess... we will now call you "VICKEY"
51. If the embassy agreed on it 10 years ago, why is it news?
ace ,   san fran   (02.21.11)
Besides, STOP feeling like the whole world hates you.. Now that I am thinking abot it, all self loathers probably feel this way.. If you cannt love yourself, how can you love or even be loved?? Hatred has been eating you alive.
52. Did you read this article till the last sentence ?
Charles ,   Petach Tikva   (02.21.11)
"the city of Oslo also forced the American embassy to relocate to a suburb " And , we "agreed to relocate " . Problems to relocate ? Maybe , but this can also be resolved .
53. The Wall
IRAN#1   (02.21.11)
"When the embassy moved to its current location more than a decade ago, a wall was erected around the site in accordance with Israeli security demands." Here is question: Why do Israelies put walls around themselves to be separated from the rest of the humanity?
54. the euros are weak willed and always willing to appease
bernard ross ,   st anns bay jamaica   (02.21.11)
This is why most of them so readily identified with the aryan germans. Leave them, the covenant will take care of them as it has so many others
55. Israelis must be the world's biggest whiners
(02.21.11)
the embassy agreed to move 10 years ago and the US embassy also has to move. Once again Ynet sensationalizes a story giving Israelis another opportunity to come on here and show the rest of the world what a bunch of pathetic dickheads they are.
56. #46 you refer to europeans collectively as if one nation
Charlie S ,   LA, USA   (02.21.11)
So this guys reply just went along with your thought when you defame 700 million people in one sweeping statement. I'm surprised you knew there are separate countries over in Europe. Imagine they are worth all this with some poorer states, imagine when the money crisis dies down. You did miss the point the talkback made to you, if you think Israel can survive alone without the current free use of the European Market then, I question did you even finish high school?
57. #47 well said!! The talkbackers hardly even have USA passp
Tal ,   Europe!   (02.21.11)
Passports to leave the USA let alone visit Israel
58. sounds like
Paul ,   Cairns Australia   (02.21.11)
everyone's a bit fed up. Must be tough knowing your "Special" when no-one else believes you anymore.
59. #57 I have both passports
BEN JABO ,   ISRAEL   (02.22.11)
You're quite near Israel, just a few hours away, why are you in Europe instead of Israel ? Practice what you preach
60. #55 Why should Israel have to move
BEN JABO ,   ISRAEL   (02.22.11)
Isn't it because you can't control the influx of Arabs that are now telling you how to run things, or else !! During World War Two, Norwegian's fought the facists, now you're being complicit with the Islamo Facists Shame !!
