Should Norway continue to support Israel?
The U.S. currently gives $38 billion to Israel every year in foreign aid assistance. Most of the aid is used by Israel to buy American military hardware, such as jets and components for missile defense. $38 billion is 50% of the United States’ foreign aid budget for 2017. Opponents argue that the aid given to Israel is unnecessary since the country provides free healthcare and college tuition to its citizens. Proponents argue that the aid is necessary to promote democracy in the Middle East and maintain a balance of power with other countries in the region.

Yes, but criticise their use of unlawful millitary shelling of civillian populations and unofficial endorsement of illegal settlements in the west bank.
@B6F7HYQ2mos2MO
NO, because of Israel's illegal occupation of Palestine even before 1948, including its ongoing impunity related to its Zionist settler colonization project, ethnic cleansing, apartheid, genocide, and other human rights violations policies and practices. In addition to not supporting Israel; Norway SHOULD ACTIVELY OPPOSE and sanction Israel for its increasing brutal displacement and extermination of the occupied Palestinians.
@B4R7HTW6mos6MO
I don't involve myself enough with this specific issue to give a well thought out opinion. I need to do more research.
@B35L8FZ8mos8MO
With the current administration, no. However, if their administration gets better, we should give aid to both Israel and Palestine.
@B33V7WJ8mos8MO
Only provide fundings that aim to aid the victims, make sure not a single penny is put in the hands of the terrorists in charge of the area
@9DQ9B322yrs2Y
No, and a special military operation should be launched in the Israel-Palestine area.
@9BN3N462yrs2Y
Yes but we should give both support to Israel and Palestine.
