I wish there were somebody we could give you back to Edith. Anytime I read your posts I have the feeling I just stepped in something some dog left here on this forum.

ralph   (11.24.11)
costs of defence there. abbas says no light between him and hamas. fine so he should not mind paying for damage caused by hamas rockets. norwary can also contrtibute to rocket damage costs, but wait norway is a hypocrite so it will only talk for abbas.

Norwegian resistance.
38. Norway-who gave the Nobel Peace Prize
Stephen in New York   (11.24.11)
to Arafat and El Baradei (who protected the Iranian nuclear effort when he was head of the IAEA). Norway-soon to be an Islamic state.
39. Good move
Beary White ,   Norway   (11.24.11)
In norwegian newspapers, our belowed leftist FM did also refer to the Oslo accords, which the PA broke by doing an unilateral stunt to UN and UNCHR, which are violating the Oslo agreement. The PA was warned abouth this before going to UN, and take the consequences. Then Israel also is allowed to do an unilateral move, which she has done. Well done Israel.
40. Incompetent Minister Jonas Gahr Stoere should resign
Brian Cohen ,   Judean Peoples Front   (11.24.11)
We civilized people have had enough of incompetent fools like Mr. Stoere who make a career out of apologizing for terrorists. Mr. Stoere - I have a very easy mission for you: have the new Palestinian unity government including the new prime minister declare that they accept the all agreements and agree that they will end the conflict by peaceful negotiations. Do that and we'll release the funds. You can't, Mr. Stoere, because they won't say that. You are a fool, Mr Stoere, suckered in by terrorists and making yourself look downright stupid for kissing their feet.
41. Why does he think it is their money
Larry ,   Raanana   (11.24.11)
What is he doing in Israel anyway?
42. Well ....
Sarah B ,   U.S.A. / Israel   (11.24.11)
Why doesn't Norway stick a crowbar in its pocket and give the ersatz "Palestinians" some North Sea oil revenue? Frankly, the Jewish people are a little sick and tired of maintaining the welfare state that is the ersatz "Palestine" Authority. They have lived off us long enough. Let them go be a parasite somewhere else.
43. THE PALESTINIAN PEOPLE AND ''ISRAEL''
SJOERD RUURD VDV ,   MULTIVERSE   (11.25.11)
''ISRAEL'' SHOULD GRADUALLY AT LAST REALLY MIND IT''S OWN ''ISRAELI'', INTERNAL BUSINESS. YET I RESPECT AND UNDERSTAND THE JEWISH PEOPLE AND EVERY PEOPLE. THE PALESTINIAN PEOPLE HAVE ALL THE RIGHT TO HAVE AN INDEPENDANT AND SOVEREIGN COUNTRY IMMEDIATELY IF THEY WANT THAT WITH THE ASSISTENCE OF THE ENTIRE UNITED NATIONS ORGANIZATION/MANKIND.
44. The Mohamed PBU"Hcartoons,remember?Useful idiots never learn
PETER SM ,   MELBOURNE   (11.25.11)
"This led to Islamic protests across the Muslim world, some of which escalated into violence with instances of firing on crowds of protestors (resulting in a total of more than 100 reported deaths),[1] including the bombing of the Danish embassy in Pakistan and setting fire to the Danish Embassies in Syria, Lebanon and Iran, storming European buildings, and burning the Danish, Dutch, Norwegian, French and German flags in Gaza City.[2][3] " http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jyllands-Posten_Muhammad_cartoons_controversy
45. This is great news!
Eytan Leibovitz ,   Jerusalem, Israel   (11.25.11)
This is wonderful news, since, from the moment the PA and Norway decry something Israel does, this means that Israel does something right.
46. 18
john Darren ,   cairns-Australia   (11.25.11)
You are a complete fool.Where does the money come from?What land are you talking about?See Danny Ayalon on You Tube about the land issue.If you can't find it then you are a moron.
47. Ignore them, and move along
not me   (11.25.11)
Since Norwegians, as Russians for example, are the major oil producers totally defendant on the price of oil for their well being, its reasonable to expect them to act in their self interest, in this case to inflate the conflict, under whatever pretense they claim. In case of war the oil price goes up, and they all profit. Just ignore them, and their pity double talk, and move along.
48. let norway pony up for thrie beloved palestinians
izzie irgun ,   zion   (11.25.11)
only in the insane world of palestinian victimhood does anyone think israel ought to enable the PA to further its deligitmization campaign of israel by providing the funds to do so. It tme to state the obvious, the palestinians reneged on the oslo accords and israel is free to do as it pleases in return. No money, no support and no assistance.. Let the PA join with hamas so that we can get rid of both when the next fight comes. And just think of how stiupid all those EU jerks will look when the PA snubs them for hamas a s well. Oh lady ashton, feel like a jerk today.
49. JP: PA pay released terrorists $5000, built new houses!
mary of bethany ,   singapore   (11.25.11)
PA used US Taxpayers' monies (thru Palestinian Investment Fund channel) pay released terrorists $5000 and built new houses for them, praise them for their ‘courage and sacrifice" in a Honor-ceremony! Chew on that! US has a 14 trillion debts, and is still funding terrorists who cried "Death to US" in prisons / out streets! and "Occupy WallStreet" decry US paying Israel billions? when Israel use back the monies to buy weapons from US, thus create jobs! why so silent about US paying the eternally ungrateful palestinians!
50. Speaking of Norway....
William ,   Israel   (11.25.11)
wouldn't they be the ones who are closely familiar with the text and negotiations of the Oslo Accords, which placed obligations of, among others, that the PA will NOT be allowed deviate from the Accord by seeking a State outside of negotiations, under penalty of annulling the agreement? The Oslo Accords are the same where Israel agreed to act as customs official for the PA. So, if the PA has broken her numerous obligations under the Accord, shouldn't Norway, being the objective party here (*cough*), then accept that Israel is not in any violation whatsoever?
51. #23 - think back to 2002
William ,   Israel   (11.25.11)
That's when security cooperation was at its lowest, and the area was full of chaos and Arab crime. That has slowed down with the cooperation between the PA and the IDF, and the Mayor of Jenin cited the security wall as a reason for his town becoming safe again. If you want 2002 back, no problem. We have our wall against thieves and terrorists, and we can protect our legal settlements, so game on. By the way, the Oslo Accords Arafat signed allowed for settlements and expansion of them, so if you have remorse for the deal, speak to the Rais.
52. #43 - and they can, just not in place of Israel
William ,   Israel   (11.25.11)
sadly, this is the part that the "Palestinians" cannot accept. I find it funny you use quotes around the word Israel. If we're non-existent, why do the "Palestinians" complain about us so much and want to replace us?
53. Israel should give over the money ...
John ,   Alaska   (11.25.11)
as soon as the PA revises it's charter so that it no longer calls for the removal of the Jews from the area between the Jordan River and the Mediterranean Sea, removes itself from UNESCO and removes its UN request to bypass negotiations with Israel, and sits down to negotiations with Israel without the newly imposed proscription against building in Israel's heartland.
54. To #18 Edithann, with all respect
John ,   Alaska   (11.25.11)
Your foot shall slide in due time. I don't say that lightly. It is not good news and will not make Ha'Shem happy _when_ it happens. Please repent of your hatred of Jews. Anti-Semites will not fare well when Messiah appears.
55. To Rune f in Oslo - Thank you!
John ,   Alaska   (11.25.11)
G-d bless you for speaking up for Israel!
56. To #43 Sjoerd - you left caps-lock on
John ,   Alaska   (11.25.11)
You might find people listen to your opinions if you are not shouting.
57. its not your money. no peace treaty no tax treaty.
ralph   (11.25.11)
58. PLO is illegally in Israel now that Oslo is dead
Bernard Ross ,   st anns bay, jamaica   (11.25.11)
59. UNESCO and Norway
Prof. Isel Breshinsk ,   USA   (11.25.11)
Norway voted the other day to include Syria in the Human Rights Committee at UNESCO. The little Quisling from Norway should cross the border to Syria to see where real problems are.
60. Fayad and Norway's FM Stoere - two Gangsters in suits
