Up to three years in prison: Norway prepares to pass bill banning trade with West Bank settlements
The Jerusalem Post ^ | 09/14/2026 | Miriam Sela-Eitam

In Canada, the punishment for being found trading with Israeli settlements is up to five years under the nation's Special Economic Measures Act. In the UK, the punishment is up to 10 years.

Individuals or companies found trading with Israeli settlements could face up to three years in prison under the proposed Norwegian trade restrictions bill, expected by Norway's Foreign Minister Espen Barth Eide to be passed in the fall. ***

"The arguments have only become stronger because the situation in the West Bank has become even worse," Eide told the country's public broadcaster, the Norwegian Broadcasting Corporation (NRK). "In addition, so many other countries are doing the same thing that the government has already proposed with this bill.”

Eide told NRK he believed Israel had become "far too accustomed to being able to intimidate Western countries by saying they were antisemitic if they criticized Israel for abuses and violations of international law." "Now the Teflon coating that Israel has in many ways had is gone.”

Last week, 12 countries confirmed their intention to impose national restrictions on trade in goods from Israeli settlements, including Canada, Denmark, Finland, France, Iceland, Ireland, Norway, Poland, Portugal, Spain, Sweden, and the United Kingdom.

The 12 nations jointly said that the Israeli government’s actions in the West Bank “damage the possibility of realizing the two-state solution.”

They said that “the situation is deteriorating rapidly against the backdrop of unprecedented levels of settler violence and settlement expansion, including the unacceptable decision to publish tenders for the E1 settlement project." *** “No, the economic volume is not particularly large," said Eide. "The relevant goods include, for example, wine and some agricultural products," as well as those involved in construction and building in the settlements.***

Thank you very much and God bless you.

A few thoughts:

1. In the UK, trading with Israeli settlements can result in 10 years’ incarceration. Muslims gang-raping White girls get a free pass. Mentioning that Muslims are systematically raping White girls in the UK will also result in incarceration.

2. Israel should annex the West Bank and Gaza. To the victor go the spoils.

3. Following the model of the 1923 Treaty of Lausanne (a treaty between Greece and Turkey under which Greek Orthodox Christians in Turkey were moved from Turkey to Greece, and Muslims—regardless of ethnicity or nationality—were removed from Greece and relocated to Turkey), Israel should expel all Muslims from Gaza and the West Bank.

3b. To put this in further context: during the 1948 war, Jordan (as part of the Arab League) annexed the West Bank and expelled all of the Jews.

4. A number of the 12 countries that ban trade with Israeli settlements have lengthy and brutal histories of colonialism, occupation, and subjugation.

5. Here is a site where you can buy goods from Judea and Samaria (the West Bank):

You're unusual in your Jew-hatred in that you don't ignore or deny the alliance with the Left. Most do to a maddening extent. At lease you're honest. Maybe you'd feel more at home in islamic Europe?

You must be a disciple of Francis Parker Yockey.
