I don't think this is a minor issue at all.
This is hugely important.
Norway's act represents a breach in a line that civilization must hold -- avoiding recognizing and supporting terrorist entities like Hamas and Hezbollah.
If the civilized world had their head on straight they would be forcefully shaming and ostracizing Norway for this act.
I agree.
Norway is amazingly undermining the policy of the U.S., the EU and the rest of the Quartet.
It is an outrage.
Cheers.
