1. Waterboarding
max ,   washington dc   (11.24.11)
Mr. Stoere apparently doesn't know the difference between waterboarding and fundind a terrorist organization!
2. For another RESAON... Mr. Fayyad...I hope you do not ...
Ali ,   Villanova - USA   (11.24.11)
the FUNDS...Because you are CORRUPT... At your age...Get out..and LEAVE it to HONEST YOUNG PEOPLE...and there are many of them... I do suggest you go back to your Private Practice in the US..
3. NORWAY : IT IS NOT UR BUSINESS MORONS !
(11.24.11)
4. I feel ashamed for Stoere's chose of words!
Jouko ,   Kuopio   (11.24.11)
Evidently Store wants to be the new Quisling!
5. The Palestinian Authority came into being after the PLO...
Jehudah Ben-Israel ,   Qatzrin, Israel   (11.24.11)
...accepted certain conditions on the basis of which the Palestine Liberation Organization (PLO) would handle the Palestinian Authority. Sadly, those conditions, written and signed by the PLO, have been violated time and time again by the PLO. Terror gangs continue to operate from the the PA's territory. Rockets and missiles continue to be fired at the civilian population of Israel. And, in addition, instead of sitting down and talking peace, as the PLO has agreed, this organization attempt to bipass an agreed upon process. Therefore, why should Israel help sustain this entity whose only goal, it is now obvious, is not to live in peace with Israel but to replace it...??
6. I do not agree with holding back the money
Arnold ,   Canada   (11.24.11)
there was a time when money was owed to Israeli companies for goods and services. As long as this money has been paid back I see no reason to hold any other monies.
7. I demand end of open season on Norway's Jews
GZLives   (11.24.11)
Can you do anything about that Mr Norwegian Foreign Minister?
8. to #1
forehead1 ,   ohio usa   (11.24.11)
there are those (the international community) who consider israel a "terrorist oganization". not to mention the origins of israel that were also considered "terrorists". many others consider the colonization of the west bank to be a war crime. i guess it depends on which mountain you are looking down from. best wishes to all.
9. Advice for Norway
Brod ,   USA   (11.24.11)
Stop preaching to Israel. Stop wallowing in your cesspool of AntiSemitism. Watch Pat Condell's brilliant Youtube commentaries regarding the Middle East problem entitled "The great Palestinian lie" and "Useful Idiots for Palestine."
10. A suggestion to Fayyad and Stoere
marucho ,   Bs. As. Argentina   (11.24.11)
Considering the terrible need of fresh money the palestinians always have, why don´t you Mr. Fayyad and Mr. Stoere consider the possibility of demanding Mrs. Suha, Arafat´s widow to return to the P.A. the 900 million-dollar funds her husband took from the european and american taxpayers? In case you don´t place that demand, you can be and will be considered Accomplices of that robbery.
11. @8 some think up is down, black is white
joe ,   st louis USA   (11.24.11)
But that doesn't make it true. What is true: Israel wants to talk peace immediately, Palestinian Authority will not. The only thing that has ever brought the PA to the table is direct pressure. The PA can have the funds any time it wants: just by sitting down and talking. But it seems they'd rather paralyze their country than talk about peace. All those who truly believe in peace should pressure the PA to sit down and talk about it. Freezing funds, and anything else they can do to get the PA to JUST TALK!!! Israel is at the table, waiting, alone.
12. #8 terrorism?
An American Patriot ,   San Antonio TX   (11.24.11)
Under many in "international law," the sheer existence of Jews is "criminal." If we wish to look at REAL war crimes, perhaps we should look at Norway's providing camps for Hamas and Hezbollah to train their terrorists without fear of reprisals or the US government under obama INTENTIONALLY arming the Hezbollah run Mexican Sinaloa drug cartel. Terrorism is NOT in the eyes of the beholder. There are rules of engagement. And given Norway's OPEN support of targeting Jewish children and Obama's OPEN support of targeting civilians in Mexico (40000 and counting) and the US, the definition is quite obvious
13. No sympathy for Fayyad the hypocrite
Cynthia ,   USA   (11.24.11)
Fayyad issued a fatwa against Palestinians working in Israel. He wanted to fine them for seeking out their only viable labor market. Even called for a boycott of Israeli companies hiring Palestinian workers and Palestinian businesses selling Israeli products. He could care less if Palestinians lost jobs as a result of his efforts. Only when tax money to line his pocket is put on hold, does he start barking. Frankly, I'm puzzled about why Israel owes the PA any tax money, particularly since all Israel gets in return is terror, terror and more terror.
14. Norway at its best
Bubba ,   Washington   (11.24.11)
Norway is the only country in Europe with the state sponsored antisemitism. Even in the summer camps for the ruling Labor Party you can see signs: Boycott Israel! And these morons offer their opinion on on how Israel must deal w Palestinians.
15. norwegian dog crap rises to its level
Bernard Ross ,   st anns bay, jamaica   (11.24.11)
the european fecal matter repeatedly advises the Jews to choose the ovens. There is no shame in these jew swindlers and jew killers The evil that they continue to perpetrate on the Jewish people is returning to them
16. Enough European trash talk: It is time...
Bernard Ross ,   st anns bay, jamaica   (11.24.11)
...for Israel to embark on a journey that treats jew killers and their supporters as mortal enemies.
17. #7 Norways attacks on Jews show...
Bernard Ross ,   st anns bay, jamaica   (11.24.11)
...that they are an enemy of the jewish people , aligned with jew killers, and as such deserve everything back that they have given out. "Diplomatic" traditions cannot hide the stench.
18. Israel collects interest on that money too!
Edithann ,   USA   (11.24.11)
So what else is new..Anything, any excuse to 'NOT' give back what doesn't belong to them.....money or land! TATA
19. What a fine idea......
GideonReader   (11.24.11)
...Thanks to the Nordic Dicks for the idea. Waterboarding. No. Not just the "economic" kind. The real, flat on your back, flex cuffed, head down pour until done, kind. The soak 'em until complete kind of waterboarding. Pour often and early. And if that is not sufficient for the desired result; Blu2 until done to a turn.
20. Dear Norway
Joe sombrero ,   Usa   (11.24.11)
As Flo would say Kiss my Grits
21. new best friends
tiki ,   belgium   (11.24.11)
Waterboarding, although not a nice method, always results in 'preventing disasters! Mr. Stoere should mind his own business. His biased mingling in the ME send 85 innocent, but indoctrinated young people into their death. Maybe murdering dictators in Syria, Egypt, Jemen or Iran could do with some of his 'opiniated advise but Netanyahu/Lieberman are doing just fine.
22. The money is given as part of the peace process
Mike ,   Oxford UK   (11.24.11)
Abbas has dismantled the peace process therefore should not go crying to the Norwegians. Should Abbas change course and return to peace negotiations Netanyahu will come under immense pressure to resume funding the PA, but as it is only hard core pro-palestinians such as the arabs and norwegians care
23. Let the PA collapse
Samer   (11.24.11)
End of the PA means end of the security collaboration with the IDF which has brought no benefit to the Palestinian people other than further illegal settlement activity.
24. #18 Better idea Edithspam
Cynthia ,   USA   (11.24.11)
Not one dime to Palestinian officials who align with terrorist Hamas. Set that money aside for victims of Palestinian terror.
25. I sendt mail to Norwegian media
Rune f ,   oslo Norway   (11.24.11)
They told about this in Norwegian media tonight ,but no Israels was interviwed so i sent the media an email Saying " In most cases all parts are allowed to speak up,but not Israel."
26. What a lack of sophistication. Just a Viking THUG
Ezra ,   US-Israel   (11.24.11)
U real what comes out of the mouths of politicians: no honor, no shame, no basis in reality. It's nice to see that the US reps have been maintaining the highest level of sophistication on the world stage. Between the selfish Chinese, insane Russians, idiotic Europeans and terrorist Middle easterners, Israel (aside from Livni) and the US have been the most responsible by far. Now watch Norway suffer from something ugly: by their own hand. Fools.
27.  Long Live Norwegian Resistance
Nelly   (11.24.11)
...to Kvislings!
28. Oslo Accords
Abu Yussef al Yahudi ,   Bue_Aires_Argentina   (11.24.11)
One of the clauses of the Oslo Accords, was that Israel will collect the some taxes in the WB, and will give this money to the PA - With the bid asking for membership at the UN, triyng to delegitimaze Israel, the PA , "de-facto" has broken the Oslo Accords. A couple of weeks before that treacherous act against Israel, Avigdor Lieberman told the Palis not to ask for statehood, bypassing the negotiating table, and also told them about the "Serious Consequences" of this unilateral act. But despite this advertence, Abu Mazen (The Holocaust denier), presents in September the 21th. the bid before the UNGA. Now that the Oslo Accords are invalid and void, Israel HAS NOT any legal binding to give the funds to the PA.. In this world, every Action has an immediate Reaction . . . . To the Palis, sit RIGHT NOW at the Negotiation Table, and maybe, maybe Israel will give you the money that you DO NOT deserve, in spite of your treacherous behaviour.
29. #27, Nelly. And the leader of Norwegian Resistance is ....
tanya ,   tel aviv israel   (11.24.11)
30. Norway
Moishe Kapoir ,   Nanuet USA   (11.24.11)
The Palestinians should fire missiles at Norway then ask them again.
