1. Norway, the eternal Quislings
Rick ,   Israel   (04.01.12)
2. the words of a true political hypocrite
tiki ,   belgium   (04.01.12)
The spokesman of these VITA stores should keep his explanations for his brainwashed & gullible compatriots. People with a healthy brain & a clear conciense don't eat his BS. What still has to happen for these morons in Europe to start seeing the light? What do they think? Boycoting Ahava (or anything else) will make Israel sign it's own death penalty? These people realy need help.
3. boycott
Sam M ,   UK   (04.01.12)
Sanctimonious hypocrites! No boycott planned I assume against China for it's brutal occupation of Tibet or indeed against any muslim state for the lack of human rights in the islamic world. Strange how it's always Israel and never any other country that is singled out. Must be the never ending diet of Israel hating, anti-semitic coverage in the norwegian media!
4. Resolve the conflict through resounding Israeli victory.
Chaim ,   Israel   (04.01.12)
Once again, Israel's embassies repeat the ludicrous canard that Israel should negotiate with our terrorist enemies. That makes no more sense than for the WW II Allies to have negotiated with Hitler instead of destroyed his armies. The only way to resolve the conflict is through resounding Israeli victory over "Palestinian" poseurs, with no concessions whatsoever.
5. Norvegians = pro-islamic terror people
(04.01.12)
6. Vita CEO MR.Roar Arnstad
AL QUDS ALYAHUDI   (04.01.12)
Do not use your mobile phone or the computer as they have an Israeli tech.Go all the way to boycott Mr Shmok
7. No to Norwegian salmon! No to Kavli crackers or other
Steven Gilbert ,   Teaneck   (04.01.12)
Norwegian products.
8. Brevik hast taught Norway anything
(04.01.12)
Norwegians still promote racism, intolerance, demagogy and incitement. What an ugly country!
9. Norway perpetrating international Apartheid
(04.01.12)
Its so shameful to be Norwegian these days! On one hand, Norway supports terror and genocide, on the other, they blame the Jews for being victimized. This is typical European Anti-Semitism.
10. Boycott the Neutrogena brand
(04.01.12)
11. Is this a dumb blonde joke?
Yossi ,   Houston/Israel   (04.01.12)
12. Yes, we will boycott Vita.
Beary White ,   Norway   (04.01.12)
And I am sorry for the behaviour of this norwegian Roar Arnestad, who has been brainwashed from the leftist and taking the decision on false data from the Foreign Ministry and other Israel-haters in this country. Sorry for that, Israel.
13. Norwegians were amazing even Nazis in their zeal:Nazis wante
ab   (04.01.12)
d to exempt Jewish spouses of Lutheran Norwegian from arrest,deportation and death,but to their amezement Norwegians protested and the spouses were included .
14. more extremism...
european   (04.01.12)
for shame. boycotts are hot-headed nonsense, that is not how civilized people should behave and communicate. plus those are actually quite good products and i hope consumers will have something to say about being denied the possibility to buy them.
15. This is great
Leon ,   Algonquin Territory   (04.01.12)
A company with ethics. Long live VITA!!!
16. Norway...at it again..what a (yawn) surprise
Tim ,   Brighton   (04.01.12)
Anytime you go to Norway...and end up discussing Mid East with anyone..I can almost guarantee that you will hear overwhelmingly balanced, constructive views both for and against Israel and largely with a sense of proportion and understanding of both sides of the argument BUT the moment you get into contact with some of their political academic and union leadership its a WORLD away from the views of ordinary Norwegians. And I can say without reservation that my own experience has shown unlike probably any other country in Europe Norway can pride itself as probably having the most deep rooted outright anti Jewish hysteria dressed up as Anti Israel amongst many of its leadership - of any country in Europe! And I appeal to ordinary Norwegians..please be aware of what these people are saying in your name...
17. Boycott Norwegian Lox and Salmon
Howard ,   Seattle USA   (04.01.12)
Boycott Norwegian lox and salmon.Buy US and Canadian as its better and does not put $ in the pockets of anti- Semites.
18. Vita as in the Smoke Salmon?
Joe sombrero ,   usa   (04.01.12)
Guess I won't be eating Vita any more
19. If it says VITA:
shrinkDave ,   miami usa   (04.02.12)
I aint buyin.
20. Jew hating pigs
BH ,   Iowa   (04.02.12)
21. Do not blame all Norwegians
R ,   Israel   (04.02.12)
1) What's with these nasty comments as if all Norwegians agreed with Vita's actions? There are plenty who don't. 2) From the article "Are products from China, Turkey and Morocco also banned? All three countries are considered to be occupying nations. Or are there different rules for them?" This says it all. 3) Vita's customers' loss. Ahava products rock. My American friends are always asking me to bring them some. The mud masque is better than any cosmetologist treatment and costs a fraction of that.
22. Ship products to US cuz we luv ahava!
Ron ,   US   (04.02.12)
23. If they boycott a favoured brand because of misconceptions,
Henry from New York ,   USA   (04.02.12)
then boycott their stores. Also protest, give out literature, etc.
24. #17 - Lox is salmon...
Henry from New York ,   USA   (04.02.12)
25. let Jews everywhere boycott norwegian
Barney ,   USA   (04.02.12)
products. Just make sure the norwegian companies aren't owned by Jews.
26. Boycott
Bergie ,   Melbourne, Australia   (04.02.12)
Shame, you weak, immoral quislings. And antisemites claim that Jews do anything for money. Norway should be ashamed!
27. More unemployment please!
Northernlight ,   Scandinavia   (04.02.12)
Yeah, lets boycott Israeli cosmetics probably produced, developed and manufactured in cooperation with both Israeli-jews and arabs. Probalby bought and used by arabs, jews, asians, norweigan, and many many more women! Lets take away yet another livelihood in a country where natural resources are scarce. My G-d give me strength! ----------------------------------------ยจ Regarding Norway though, please have some respect in regard to their history. They were on of few countries in Europe that fought, both hard and ferociously against the nazi occupation. Quisling is regarded as a tratior in the country. ----------------------------
28. answer to 17 lox and salmon
Andrea ,   Barcelona Spain   (04.02.12)
Norweigan factory salmon is awful. Norweigans are self-satisfied and small minded. One day, they will find that the chose the wrong semite to hate.
29. Norway = Freezing Cold Miserable Nowhere with Crap Food
Yishai Levi ,   Mevasseret   (04.02.12)
Its good if your a pine tree though
30. The Tide Is Slowly Turning
World Citizen ,   the world   (04.02.12)
The BDS movement gains strength one person at a time. Now it is small but in three, five, ten years? It will become a dominating factor that could crush the Israeli export business. Of course Israel could change. It could become a member of the civilised nations by doing the right thing. We shall see.
