Norway: 10 Israelis named in war crimes complaint
Published: 04.22.09, 15:17 / Israel News
A group of Norwegian lawyers filed a complaint Wednesday accusing 10 Israelis of war crimes in Gaza under the country’s new universal jurisdiction law, officials said.

Former Israeli Prime Minister Ehud Olmert, Defense Minister Ehud Barak and opposition leader Tzipi Livni were among those named in the complaint, the lawyers said. Chief prosecutor Siri Frigaard told The Associated Press that she will now determine if there are grounds for charges or a police investigation. The Israeli Embassy did not immediately respond to a request for comment. (AP)

There is a reason the EU has ZERO influence in the Middle East.

More on Norway:

”..In Norway a ceremony planned by Bnei Akiva and the Jewish community is scheduled to take place Monday evening, during the course of which participants will meet with a Norwegian Holocaust survivor who escaped to Sweden during the war.
Jewish Agency and Bnei Akiva envoy Deborah Geldman says anti-Semitism can be felt in Norway as well. “People here are afraid to walk around with Jewish or Israeli symbols, and Jewish children are constantly harassed. During the Gaza war I didn’t even dare to speak Hebrew outside the community,” she said.
