I've Been Thinking:

Even Norway has frozen aid to the new-Hamas led Palestinian government.
Even Norway.

Norway is one of the most passive countries in the world. It is a country that rarely takes a stand on any of the many issues confronting the world. What makes it all the more surprising is that on this particular issue, one that might put them at odds with the entire Muslim world, Norway is being bold and pro-active.

Norway bought into Israel's argument against Hamas.
And do you know why? Because Israel is correct.
Because Hamas has not moved one iota, one centimeter, one stitch from their stance on terror, on recognizing Israel or on honoring previous Palestinian Authority agreements.

Norway wants two states. Israel wants two states. Most of Europe wants two states.
Hamas wants one state.
Kudos to Norway.
