Norway becomes the lead dhimmi

I wanna hold your hand.... I wanna hold your hand....

Norway has proven itself worthy of the title "lead dhimmi" this evening by recognizing the new 'Palestinian unity government' within minutes after it was confirmed by an 83-3 vote in the 'Palestinian parliament.'

"Norway welcomes the formation of the Palestinian unity government," Norwegian Foreign Minister Jonas Gahr Stoere said in a statement, adding the coalition was "taking important steps towards complying with the international community's demands."

"Norway will thus on this basis re-establish political and economic relations with the Palestinian government," he said.

...

"Norway expects the Palestinian authorities to respect basic international standards as regards compliance with previously concluded agreements, renunciation of violence and recognition of Israel's right to exist," Stoere said.

He also called on Israel to "take a constructive approach to the Unity Government, for example by releasing withheld Palestinian revenues from taxes and fees and by increasing the freedom of movement for the Palestinian population."

I guess they mean that Israel should make sure that all those Hamas terrorists should continue to be paid and allowed to carry out terror attacks. And of course that Norway will 'contribute' to paying their salaries itself.

But then, why would anyone expect anything different from Norway? And why does anyone think that 'moderate' 'Palestinian President' Mahmoud Abbas Abu Mazen - who is seen above holding hands with Hamas leader Ismail Haniyeh - is anything but a terrorist?
