Sar-el has been reported to the police.

Oslo AUF (youth movement of the Labour Party) has reported the Norwegian branch of Sar-el to the police.

Oslo AUF filed a formal complaint to the police last Saturday, against the Norwegian branch of Sar-el, a private organization that are involved in the recruitment of personnel to the Israeli army. It is believed that at least twenty Norwegian citizens will serve as volunteers in the Israeli armed forces this year.

Yesterday the leader of AUF in Oslo, Eskil Pedersen, filed a formal complaint to the police against Sar-el. He believes the organization has violated paragraph 133 of the Norwegian criminal code. This paragraph make it a crime for Norwegian citizens to serve as soldiers in foreign armies, during times of war.

There is no doubt in my mind that Sar-el’s activities in Norway is in breach of this paragraph. It is despicable that an organization is involved in the recruitment of Norwegian citizens for an army that is constantly violating the Geneva convention, by launching a preemptive war, says Pedersen to Dagsavisen (Norwegian newspaper).

The head of the Norwegian branch of Sar-el, Lawyer Torger Dahl, told Dagsavisen on Friday that he’s not particullary concerned about being investigated.

I was under investigation in 2002 for the exact same violation, but the charges against me were dropped. The activities of Sar-el is not in breach of this paragraph, because all our recruits work as volunteers says Dahl.



Maybe AUF leader Eskil Pedersen should file a complaint to the proper authorities against all those “New Norwegians” who travel down to Iraq to “serve” in “armies” that violate international treaties every single day? In this article (in Norwegian) a “new citizen” reveals how several of his fellow “new citizens” head down to Iraq to take part in the Jihad against the American “infidels”.

The guy in the article has not been charged with breaching any Norwegian criminal codes. Maybe Eskil Pedersen should look into the case?

The left continues to hold a double standard!

In Belgium the leader of the Arab European League, Abou Jahjah, announced he's leaving Belgium to fight for Hizballah. In response the head of the right wing party Vlaams Belang demanded that he be declared persona non-grata and be stripped of his citizenship. This based on a similiar Belgian law.

Assuming Abou Jahjah returns from Lebanon it would be interesting to see what would happen.

moif,

Hehe...They're probably just visiting the rest of the clan in Iraq. They'll return soon, with new identities.

TO, I'd be less concerned about Kurds than the predominant Islamiscts cum islamofacists. Kurds are pretty forward thinking and peace loving folks vs. Arab Shi'ia or Sunni, be they from Iraq or elsewhere.
