[white trash redneck]

I had always thought better of the Norwegians. The only Scandinavians in NATO. Guess I was wrong.

[Brad’s Gramma]

Friends?????

[caisson71]

Isn't Norway being asked to help with our homeland security by providing F-16 air patrols? What for??? They're hopeless!!

[PsyOp]

Every country has it's loons, and every loon has a constituency. What the communists were unable to do through military might and intimidation during the Cold War, their socialist sympathizers are doing through europe's version of the "peace dividend." Take the money from those that defend your nation and give it to those who would subvert it.

This should hopefully be a sufficient slap in the face of Peres to indicate to him that his years of leftist appeasement have served only to solidify EUrotrash opinion against the State of Israel. Unfortunately it will likely only serve to function as an incentive for Peres to bend even further backward in selling out Israel to the Pan Arabs and their co-conspirators.

[Quix]

WELL THAT SETTLES EVER TOURING NORAWAY. RATS. SIGH. AS WELL AS NEVER KNOWINGLY BUYING A NORWEIGIAN PRODUCT AGAIN.

[Pragmatist]

Norway is not the only Scandinavian country in NATO. Iceland and Denmark are Scandinavian countries, and they are both in NATO.

[HELLRAISER II]

Is this any different then Blacks wearing FUBU & Black Power crap & nobody saying a word? No, but let someone walk in with a confederate flag shirt, belt buckle or hat or in this case a jewish symbol & people go nuts.

My Norwegian's not good, but from what I understood of the Dagbladet report, Ingmar's Israeli flag sewn on the front of his jacket was considered "provocative," and he was escorted out lest "someone react" to it.

I can imagine: "Yumping Yiminy, vee don't like deese Yoos!"

The Star of David, isn't just a flag symbol...

Properly sharpened and in the hands of a well-trained ninja, it can also be a deadly weapon...

I have travelled quite often to Sweden for work, and have noted anti-Semitism is rather common there. Normally, I have found Norway to be ethically/morally more sensible than Sweden, but I guess the Norwegians have the same problem in this case.

[Bobisalwaysright]

It is unfair to condemn all of the Norwegians for something that one set of people said. How would we like if the rest of the world judged America on what the liberals said,eh?

Was it a Star of David, or an Israeli flag patch?

Not that it makes any difference. But I'm just finding it funny that no one is "provoked" by the flag of Norway. Doesn't it have a cross on it?

[AzSteven]

No, no surprise really, just a sort of sense of resigned disappointment.

[Lent]

Also, to you who are boycotting Norwegian products

Do you have "products"?

[hellinahandcart]

So to all you who think that this would, could NOT happen in the U.S. today, think again.

You're right. I never could have imagined that Democrats would spit at an honor guard of Boy Scouts, but it happened.

The picture of the young man on the Dagbladet site shows him wearing a (not wholly accurate) reproduction of the Israeli flag, although the picture identifies it as "jodestjernen"--"the Jewish star."
