Norwegian Christians​: "Forgive us, Israel!".......................from Dan Friedman

[To a Jew who’s taken up the fight against the relentless war against my people from within and without, this expression of repentance by a group of Norwegian Christian leaders is heartening. Makes me believe that one day Jews will finally overcome the hate and evil that’s been arrayed against us from the very beginning. Still, it will take faith, determination, and the willingness to use the mighty arm Hashem has given us without asking for anyone’s permission. df]

About 40 Norwegian Christian leaders and clerics held a special ceremony in the Knesset Wednesday to formally apologize on Norway’s behalf for their role during the Holocaust and the 1993 Oslo Accords. The delegation featured representatives from 21 different organizations, who were greeted by Knesset Christian Caucus members MKs Rabbi Dov Lipman (Yesh Atid) and Gila Gamliel (Likud). The representatives then delivered a speech expressing support for Israel, as well as reservations about the Oslo Accords, which they claimed “rips apart the Land of Israel.” Here is the text of the declaration, given to every Knesset member.
