Norwegian FOR party and youth wing to participate in Oct. 7 demonstration in support of Hamas
The event slogan is "Support the Palestinian resistance!" and the promotional image is of Hamas and Palestinian terrorists on top of a tank on October 7.
The Norwegian Peace and Justice (FOR) party and its youth branch are set to take part in an October 7 demonstration in Oslo, expressing support for Hamas, Iran, and Hezbollah. Organized by the Oslo-based Solidarity Network, the event will bear the slogan "Support the Palestinian resistance!" and feature imagery of Palestinians atop a tank following their breach of the Gaza defensive wall on October 7, 2023.
FOR's leader, Marielle Leraand, has voiced her discontent with Norway's media and the international community's portrayal of Israel as a victim of Hamas' actions. She contends that the true aggressors are Israel, the United States, and other NATO members, including Norway. In a recent interview, Leraand emphasized October 7 as a counterattack against an ongoing genocide.
She has previously refrained from condemning Hamas and Hezbollah, stating that they are legitimate resistance fighters striving for Palestinian liberation.
It is worth noting that Oslo Socialist Youth (SU) had previously planned to join the demonstration but has since withdrawn. FOR was established in 2023 by Leraand, a former deputy leader of the Red Party. The party espouses anti-war, anti-imperialist, and peace-oriented values.
