Hamas - Test Your Knowledge
While I commented on Norwegian anti-semitism in my January 13 blog, The Socialist Left Party of Norway has really started showing its true face with the recent election of Hamas. While Hamas is widely recognized as being a terrorist organization, the far-left and anti-semite Socialist Left Party of Norway wants to support Hamas economically while boycotting Israel. It is incredible that a political party with such views can remain in government.
The crazy socialists argue that we need to respect the choice of the Palestinian people, which by itself is fine. However, through a completely incomprehensible thought process, the socialists also argue that Norway somehow has an obligation to continue supporting the Hamas government as a show of respect. This is obviously wrong, especially at a time when there is an immediate need for additional help in Sudan. Norway is under no obligation to squander its resources by funding a "country" that is run by a racist terrorist organization. Similarly, if the Taliban were to regain power in Afghanistan, I would expect the Norwegian government to immediately cease its assistance to the Afghan government. I am sure that most Afghans know that electing a Taliban regime would have an adverse on foreign aid, and the Palestinian people probably should have given that some more thought prior to electing a terrorist government.
Notwithstanding Hamas' terrorist operations, with Norway's long history of anti-semitism, it is outrageous that the country can support an organization which 1988 charter states that:
"There is no solution for the Palestinian question except through Jihad. Initiatives, proposals and international conferences are all a waste of time and vain endeavors. The Palestinian people know better than to consent to having their future, rights and fate toyed with."
Article 7: ... the Islamic Resistance Movement aspires to the realization of Allah's promise, no matter how long that should take. The Prophet, Allah bless him and grant him salvation, has said: "The Day of judgment will not come about until Moslems fight the Jews, when the Jew will hide behind stones and trees. The stones and trees will say O Moslems, O Abdulla, there is a Jew behind me, come and kill him. Only the Gharqad tree would not do that because it is one of the trees of the Jews."

Anyway, so far it seems like the Socialist Party's anti-Semite campaign has had little effect. However, this does not make the Socialist Party's policies any less embarrassing.
