Ok, so I initially was irritated by this column — why should I care what a China guy thinks of Norway — but I really enjoyed it. May I recommend a Norwegian TV series to keep the vibe going? Occupied, especially the first season, is a really tense, taut, creative look at how a country can lose its freedom without a single shot fired.
I waited for about an hour before writing this in hopes that the better angels of my nature would assert control. It didn't work.
Having visited Norway several times, I found the writers impression of Norway to be highly misleading. Even worse, it seemed condescending and inspired more by the desire for a cheap laugh than for informative observations.
Didn't tge whole thing. But it looks like most people are no longer buying the Israeli narrative that they're the victims. And who could blame them? For the rational mind after seeing the destruction, the indiscriminate killing through bombs dropped in the most densely populated urban area in the world, the sniping of children, etc...No reasonable person would belive tge Israeli narrative. And yet, Israel is oblivious to that. Very weird.
