"The Norwegian Confederation of Trade Unions (LO), the country’s largest labor federation, has voted in favor of a comprehensive boycott of #Israel, including a ban on trade and investment with #Israeli companies.

The decision was passed with an overwhelming 88 percent majority during LO’s national congress, held in the #Norwegian capital, Oslo, from May 8 to 9, the official #Palestinian news agency WAFA reported."

It’s crazy how much more the Western world cares about words than actions.

Agreed. This drives me absolutely insane where, here in the US, so many of our leaders who have actual power love taking credit for speeches and then doing absolutely nothing positive in a practical sense.

Germany is the ultimate example. They will directly take action against anything pro-Palestinian. A group waves a Palestinian flag and the Gestapo mashes in the skulls of all their members,brands them a terrorist group and tries to deport them.

But when it comes to the AfD which is actively doing Nazi salutes suddenly it's all about debating free speech and 'democracy'. And banning groups is suddenly scary and undemocratic.

The double standards and hypocrisy are getting beyond comical.

and the Gestapo mashes in

You're trivialising Nazi rule.

And that's precisely why noone in Germany is listening to you. I can only surmise that you're a Hasbara agent trying to paint the Palestinian cause in a bad light.
