| Norway's VITA halts sales of Ahava products | |
| 2012-04-02 | |
In response to VITA's boycott on the Israeli beauty company, a group of pro-Israel Norwegians created a Facebook page calling on the public to boycott VITA's 160 stores in Norway. It appears that the recent ban of Ahava cosmetic products is not based on the publics' preference but is derived from some political agenda: One VITA's major shareholders is Norgesgruppen, which is also one of the largest importers of goods in Norway.  | |

| #4 The Norwegians are probably stuck with the same problem America has: a "representative" government that doesn't truly represent them, and a media that propagandizes instead of truly informing, "for their own good". "Good", of course, being relative. |

| #2 When I managed the logistics element of the Joint USN/Norway ("reverse FMS")Penguin Anti-Ship missile Program, I teamed with some wonderful Norwegian Navy/government technical folks. Having always been a staunch supporter of the State of Israel, I find it very difficult to accept that Norway is throwing Israel "under the bus"...However, since "Our" USA, the nascent "leader of the free world"; chooses to side with Tyranny. Nothing surprises these days... |

| #1 Norway is the most anti Israel country in Europe (even more so than predominantly Moslem countries like Bosnia). However, it is not clear whether the general population is like that (yes, some opinion polls say the general population are Israel haters but those polls may be run by Israel haters so we don't really know). |
