Norway readies bill to ban all trade with Israeli settlements
|
We’ve seen this kind of thing before. It hits the Paleostinians and Israeli Arabs working for those companies much harder than it does the Israelis they hope to wound. But y’all continue posturing instead of accomplishing your stated goal, while Israel will no doubt see the same result here as they just did when their booth was sequestered in its own little ghetto at the Gay Paree arms expo: heavy traffic nonetheless, because Israeli products are just that good. Though possibly it won’t be Norwegians enjoying paying for them, or at least Norwegian shops won’t be the ones profiting from those sales. [IsraelTimes] Legislation will be subject to consultations for three months before vote is held; FM: These ’colonies undermine the very foundations of the Paleostinian state’
The Norwegian government said on Friday it planned to ban all trade with Israeli settlements in the West Bank as well as Jewish neighborhoods in Israeli-annexed East Jerusalem.
"Norwegian people and Norwegian companies should not contribute to sustaining illegal settlements. The policy of colonization undermines the possibility of achieving a two-state solution," the foreign ministry in Oslo said in a statement.
Specifically, the government said it wants to ban trade in goods produced in Israeli settlements in Gazoo
...Hellhole adjunct to Israel and Egypt's Sinai Peninsula, inhabited by Gazooks. The place was acquired in the wake of the 1967 War and then presented to Paleostinian control in 2006 by Ariel Sharon, who had entered his dotage. It is currently ruled with a rusty iron fist by Hamas with about the living conditions you'd expect. It periodically attacks the Hated Zionist Entity whenever Iran needs a ruckus created or the hard boyz get bored, getting thumped by the IDF in return. The ruling turbans then wave the bloody shirt and holler loudly about oppression and disproportionate response ...
— none of which currently exist — and the West Bank as well as areas of Jerusalem that most in the international community consider to be occupied.
Israel has controlled the West Bank since capturing the territory from Jordan during the 1967 Six-Day War, a conflict that also saw Israel take the Gaza Strip, East Jerusalem, the Sinai Peninsula and the Golan Heights. Israel annexed East Jerusalem — a move not recognized by most of the international community — while the West Bank has remained under varying forms of Israeli military and civil control ever since.
There have not been any Jewish settlements inside Gaza since the 2005 Disengagement. While some far-right elements of the government have called for such settlements to be reestablished in the Strip, Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has repeatedly reassured allies that Israel would not do so.
Oslo also plans to outlaw "the purchase of property in the settlements, the provision of services relating to the construction, renovation, purchase or sale of property in these areas, and the acquisition of commercial enterprises whose head office and production facilities are located in the settlements," the ministry said.
The government has drafted a bill to this effect, which will be subject to consultations for three months, until September 19.
"We want to ban all commercial activity with these illegal settlements," Foreign Minister Espen Barth Eide said in the statement.
The bill stresses that Norway will continue trade and other ties with legitimate Paleostinian activities on Paleostinian land, as well as the provision of humanitarian aid .
"The colonies undermine the very foundations of the Paleostinian state," Barth Eide said.
Norway, which is not a member of the European Union
...the successor to the Holy Roman Empire, only without the Hapsburgs and the nifty uniforms and the dancing...
, recognized the state of Paleostine in 2024, at the same time as EU members Ireland and Spain did, a move which angered Israel.
Ireland is pushing for the 27-nation EU to ban all trade with Israeli settlements in Paleostinian territories.
The bloc said last week it would look at options for "restricting" trade with settlements. But there remains no consensus among the bloc’s member states to take further steps against Israel, such as ending the EU-Israel preferential trade agreement.
Switzerland moves to ban all use of Nazi symbols amid rise in antisemitism
[IsraelTimes] Bill goes further than current law already prosecuting use of Nazi, racist or violence-glorifying symbols and would add a $250 fine for public swastika display or Hitler salute.
