Gaza-Ma'an- Safsaf, a website of the Palestinian community in
Norway, said that according to the German Press, German government
sources confirmed that Germany gave the Israeli forces models of
Dingo 2 military vehicles for testing.
According to the website's specialist in affairs of the Palestinian
community in Norway, "these armored vehicles are known for their
usefulness in street warfare, and for resisting mines, grenades,
microbial bombs. They are equipped with a machine gun and can
accomodate eight soldiers".
Safsaf added, "despite the Germany's knowledge that Israel used such
weapons against Palestinians, it is always keen to save its face by
adding a clause in sales transactions that they not be used against
the Palestinians, but this time the deal breached this condition."
The site reported that Israel would receive 55 armored Dingo 2
vehicles costing € 36 million, and would be signing an agreement for
the sale of two German developed gunships "to the Israeli occupation
under the claim of protecting Israel from Iranian attacks in a deal
estimated at €one million".
The same website reported many Norwegian women NGO workers expressed
their solidarity with Palestinian women. The women sent a letter to
the site expressing their solidarity with the elected Palestinian
government and denouncing the siege and boycott the west has imposed
on it. The letter solidarity with all of Palestinian society as it
is being destroyed and frustrated by the siege and especially the
women of Palestine.
