May 9, 2025"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."
Good. Israel should be sanctioned by the entire civilised world.
Thats a good start. But they need to be brought to justice for their crimes against humanity.
Fuck yes
Gotta say, are most governments just afraid of Israel?
Yes
Why?
the US probably.
Sounds good to me. Wake up, world!
Isnotreal is still killing people at the same rate as before and they all act like the war is ‘over’? They are also still in Southern Lebanon.

Looks like the zionists forget to send checks to Norway. Or the norwegians were too decent a people to take them.
I don’t get it
It’s related to this meme: https://knowyourmeme.com/memes/slowpoke
Anyway, this trade union was faster than most of the world.
You will eventually.
It actually doesn’t make sense considering the context.
It makes perfect sense. Boycotting netanyahu’s genocidal apartheid regime is more than a year overdue. Hence, slowpoke.
I mean, unless you don’t think they should be boycotted for committing genocide.
Which other countries have done this?
Why does that matter?
Because that’s exactly the reason why the meme is misused here.
I mean, it’s wildly too late, but I guess it’s a good thing it happened eventually.
I think it’s because the Israeli government blatantly said last week it’ll take permanent control of parts of Gaza and push all Gaza Palestinians southward.
That hits all the points in the definition of genocide. (Intent, forcing a populous to move,…)
In contrast with the last 18 months, there is no more doubt if it’s a campaign against Hamas/freeing the prisoners or actual genocide, they have now delivered proof.
It’s crazy how much more the Western world cares about words than actions. The only reason they start doing something is because Israel is loudly announcing how evil they are every single day.
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.
Counterpoint: no, you
Yes and No. Gaza and the Westbank are already done for, but Israel has great ambitions. They intend to annex Lebanon and increasingly large parts of Syria and Jordan, so for those it is not yet too late.
I wonder how many countries they have to control before someone (in power) actually cares.
Iran hasnt actually gotten serious so far i think, i assume they will tho if the rest of the world doesnt start sanctioning Israel.
Iran is not going to do anything.
I don’t see Jordan not defending its land.
I don’t see that resulting in anything other than Jordan being summarily declared a terrorist state by netanyahu and his supporters.
