Også vi må være på vakt Det norske demokratiet er basert på uskrevne normer. I turbulente tider bør vi vurdere strengere regler.

Les hele denne artikkelen i Haaretz. Jeg ble kvalm av å lese, men det er faktisk viktig. Det er og blir en skam av historiske dimensjoner at oljefondet fortsatt er investert i Israel, og at norske universiteteter ikke har villet erklære akademisk boikott
