U.S. THREATENS NORWAY OVER ISRAEL BOYCOTT

BULLY FOR US. I JUST WISH WE WOULD TELL THE SAME TO THE ARAB COUNTRIES ALREADY BOYCOTTING ISRAEL.

Norway: U.S. Threats after Boycott Support
U.S. Secretary of State Rice threatened Norway with "serious political consequences" after Finance Minister and Socialist Left party leader Kristin Halvorsen admitted to supporting a boycott of Israeli goods. The reaction was reportedly given to the Norwegian embassy in Washington, and it was made clear that the statements came from the top level of the U.S. State Department, the newspaper VG reports. VG claims that two classified reports promised a "tougher climate" between the U.S. and Norway if Halvorsen's remarks represented the foreign policy of the new red-green alliance of the Labor, Socialist Left, and Center parties.
