Wild riots over the Gaza conflict in Oslo
For the third time there are riots and street fighting in Oslo over the conflict in the Middle East between Israel and the Palestinians. A demonstration against Israel at the Israeli embassy in Oslo turned into a regular street fight when demonstrators threw bottles and stones, and fired fireworks at the police.
As they have one two previous occasions, the police responded with tear gas and spread the crowds. Then the violent demonstration turned into more or less undisciplined street fighting, breaking windows, beating up bystanders, and wrecking havoc on the usually quiet and peaceful city of Oslo.
Norwegian public opinion has increasingly turned in a pro-Palestinian direction over the last few years. Some of the leading newspapers, most notably the once liberal Dagbladet, are relative extremist in its pro-Palestinian view-points. Also, the current left-wing government of the Social democrat party and the Socialist party is pro-Palestinian in its orientation.

The odd piece of information, strange facts, comments on news, ranting and rambling. Kicks and licks. Fun, irony and sarcasm, often, though, with some serious intention.
I live and have lived in Europe and the US. I like both.
I’m nekkid, so no need to undress me. Don't bite me. I much prefer stroking.

I do not know who your sources are, but Dagbladet is NOT extremist in its pro-Palestinian viewpoints. The newspaper deliveres a fairly balanced view with focus on how the conflict affects social structure and individuals.

You are right, Dagbladet i one of Norway’s most prominent papers and its lead by terrorist supporters, they even use the Norwegian Doctor Mads Gilbert, a well known terror supporter who also publicly supports the murder of 3000 innocent people 9/11 and the firing of rockets onto civilians in Israel and suicide bombers in Israel, as correspondent for the news.
The worst thing is that Dagbladet is not alone, all Major Norwegian Newspapers and TV stations are extremist Hamas supporters and our government is the only one in the world accepting Hamas and they even have direct dealings with these terrorists and support them with our taxpayers money so they can kill more Jews!
Hopefully this year FRP witch is the only real non communist alternative in Norway will win the election, these terrorist riots in our streets will help people understand and hopefully help get FRP into power. FRP is a moderate democratic liberal party witch fights against communist indoctrination, uncontrolled Islamic immigration and the government totalitarianism currently havocking Norway today.

jb: I follow Norwegian news. I have read Dagbladet every day during this crisis, as well as Swedish, Danish, German, English and US media. Dagbladet is one of the least balanced newspapers in Europe on this issue.
That’s simply a fact.

I find it interesting that when the media avoided showing the truth about the Iraq war no one said they were being pro-USA or pro-west. No one once said that they might be islamophobic – but as soon as the Arabs become the victims we are talking about the media being pro-palestinian. We should be furious about the attrocities inside Gaza not supporting a state which is terrorising the indigenous people
