Norway has gone from being a peace broker to becoming a driving force for the establishment of a Palestinian state. Some 80 countries are gathered in Oslo City Hall. What is not addressed is that the population of the West Bank rejects a two-state solution. They say they want a one-state solution. Israel must go. Norway risks becoming a facilitator for a new genocide of Jews.
These warning lights are on for anyone who wants to know what is happening on the West Bank.
The reaction to October 7 among the Palestinians is a rejection of Israel’s right to exist.
The Palestinians are thus continuing their all-or-nothing policy that goes all the way back to the partition plan for the British Mandate of Palestine in 1922.
The League of Nations and the UK state that the Jewish national home will be restored on the basis of the Jewish historical right, not as a favor. The League of Nations is the forerunner of the UN, and this was established before the Third Reich and the Holocaust.
The Arab countries rejected the partition plan in 1948 and went to war. They also rejected negotiations after Israel’s miraculous victory in the Six Day War. 1967.
Moshe Dayan said he was waiting for a call from the Arab countries and Foreign Minister Abba Eban said they were ready to negotiate without conditions.
The answer came at the Arab League meeting in Khartoum in September and is known as the three no’s:
In the end, the leaders of thirteen Arab states gathered for a summit in Khartoum, Sudan from August 29 to September 1. There they promised to continue the fight against Israel. Influenced by Nasser, “their conditions were quite specific: no peace with Israel, no negotiations with Israel, no recognition of Israel and ‘upholding the rights of the Palestinian people in their own nation’”. The Khartoum Declaration was the first serious warning to the Israelis that their expectation of an imminent ‘telephone call’ from the Arab world could be a pipe dream” (Sachar).
This “warning” was reinforced on October 21, when an Egyptian missile boat sank the Israeli destroyer Eilat, killing 47 people. It was confirmed in November and December, when the Arab states repeatedly rejected attempts by Sweden’s ambassador to the Soviet Union, Gunnar Jarring – who served as the UN Secretary General’s special envoy – to get them to engage in talks with Israel. In fact, the “three no’s in Khartoum” lasted for a dozen years, until Egypt signed a peace treaty with Israel – after which the other 20 member states expelled it from the Arab League.

The same thing happened when Ehud Barak and Ehud Olmert offered Yasser Arafat a peace solution. Arafat could not sign without the right of return being recognized, i.e. the refugees were allowed to return to Israel. It was a renunciation of the ultimate line: All or nothing.
This is the line on which Norwegian policy is based. They pretend that it is a continuation of the Oslo process and that it is Israel that has failed. The fact is that Norway is now allied with forces that want to wipe Israel off the map and this corresponds to popular opinion in the West Bank.
It never has a chance of becoming reality, especially not after Trump takes over.
It’s not Israel that risks becoming an international pariah, it’s Norway.
Norway’s elite tell themselves a story about how wonderful they are. But the outside world sees something completely different. The line from Yitzhak Rabin and Shimon Peres – the Oslo process – to Yahya Sinwar tells us something about a political leadership out of touch with reality.
It’s not just one person behind this, the UN’s special coordinator for the Middle East, Tor Wennesland, is fully on board. So is Denmark’s foreign minister, Lars Løkke Rasmussen. The two Nordic countries are trying to get Saudi Arabia on board, but they are getting in the way of the Trump administration. We don’t hear anything about this because the Norwegian media are keen to whip up a mood against Trump. They take this campaign with them into all areas, such as Greenland.
In doing so, they risk alienating the Trump administration before they even get started.
Barth Eide thinks that the word “international law” is a sesame-sesame that even Trump has to bow down to.
This is of course not the case. The Chief Prosecutor of the International Criminal Court, Karim Khan, has bitten off more than he can chew. He is allowing the court to challenge Israel and the US in the middle of a moment of destiny.
So does Barth Eide, blinded as he is.
The Norwegian Ministry of Foreign Affairs suffers from self-blindness along with the media and the political elite.
We have ended up in the wrong company, but, as usual, we allow ourselves to be flattered by all the fuss caused by red carpets and press conferences.
