In Oslo, former Norwegian prime minister Thorbjoern Jagland (say that ten times fast) advocates a groundbreaking policy of Total Appeasement™ to win the love of the Arab world: Ex-Norwegian PM wants east Jerusalem as Palestinian capital.

OSLO (AFP) - Former Norwegian prime minister Thorbjoern Jagland called for the creation of an independent Palestinian state with east Jerusalem as its capital as a first step towards stabilizing the region.

“A Palestinian state must be created, with east Jerusalem as its capital… This would be the first and the best of steps to establish a dialogue with Muslims and Arabs,” said Jagland, currently the head of the Norwegian parliament’s foreign affairs committee and one of the leading members of the Labour opposition.
