(Ynet News) Itamar Eichner - According to reports received by the Israel Foreign Ministry, the Trondheim (Norway) Municipality is funding a trip to New York for students taking part in the "Gaza Monologues" play, which "deals with the suffering of children in Gaza as a result of the Israeli occupation." It joins an exhibition by Norwegian artists displayed in Damascus, Beirut, and Amman, with the help of Norway's embassies. The exhibition shows killed Palestinian babies next to IDF helmets, which are reminiscent of Nazi soldiers' helmets, and an Israeli flag drenched in blood. The Norwegians are also helping the distribution of a documentary film called "Tears of Gaza" to festivals across the world. The film makes no mention of the rockets fired at Israel by Hamas and Israel's right to defend itself. In addition, a book by two Norwegian doctors that accuses IDF soldiers of deliberately killing women and children is a bestseller in Norway and has been warmly recommended by Norwegian Foreign Minister Jonas Store.
