Norway’s Supermarkets Engage in Not So Subtle Boycott of Israel

(IsraelNN.com) Some of Norway’s supermarket chains have decided to place special identification stickers on products from Israel. Other Scandinavian countries may follow suit. The Norwegians say the stickers do not constitute a "boycott" of Israel; they just want their customers, who are overwhelmingly pro Palestinian, to pay attention to where these products are produced. Norwegian labor unions have recently refused to off-load Israeli farm produce. Last year, a Norwegian "labor youth movement" organized a demonstration against Israeli singers from the Eurovision song contest. Another Norwegian group has been boycotting Israeli oranges since the early 90s. This group, "Boikott Israel l," rejuvenated by the latest "Intifada" to include a boycott of all Israeli commerce, denies on its website that it is anti-Semitic but states its goal is the end Israel's "50 year occupation" of, and the return of refugees to a "free Palestine."

Why don't they just put a yellow star on the products? Absolutely racist.

Guys, I wouldn't read too much about Norway per se into this. The thing is, they have accepted lots of immigration in the last 20 years. The "New Norwegians," as the politically correct term for this immigrant rifraff goes, are responsible for 80-90% of the violent crime in Norway.

Where do they hail from? Wanna take a guess? And I bet now that you know that, you can deduce exactly what subset of Norwegian society is behind this boycott and all the anti-Israeli crap.

d.o.l.

Someone should post a picture of the SA thugs turning away customers from Jewish stores in Nazi Germany. Same types.

Now I'm beginning to understand why Daschle and that other senator from South Dakota are pushing for country-of-origin labeling on meat.

SS Vaktbataljon Norge (SS Wachbatallion Norwegen)
*
This rather infamous formation was in fact the only pure Norwegian unit within the ranks of SS ever.
Its duty was mostly to serve as concentration camp guards, and the ones serving were either former Frontfighters, or older NS members too old for front line service. The training grounds were at Holmestrand. A total of about 360 men served in the battalion, and served as KZ-guards, mostly in Northern Norway.

I guess it's time to start boycotting anything Norwegian.

But since, for the life of me, I can't remember anything I have ever purchased or would want to purchase from Norway, it's a bit hard.
