I must say that today I am shocked and deeply dissapointed by the norwegian press. I should have known better than to expect anything else from the media. But I am, and will allway be, naive and hope for people to do their best.

Yesterday I took part of a peacfull demonstration for ceasfire in Gaza in Oslo city, organized by 80 different NGOs and political parties and attended by about 10000 people. Torches where handed out and lite and hel high while listening to three speakers and then paying the victims of the war a half minute of silence. After that we marched down to the harbour where people sort of just spread out, chatting in smaller groups.

I once managed to get up on some stairs and look out over the field of torches slowly moving down the street - it was all absolutely beautiful and dignified.

But at the same time a group of about 100 young people decided to terrorize the main street of Oslo, destroying shop windows, throwing stones at the police and burning rubbish bins.

Guess which of the events got headlines? The 10000 people or the 100? Yesterday when I came home, the peacefull demonstration had a small note on the majour newspapers, the 100 vandals majour headlines. And today, there isn't even a note about the peacefull one. Nothing.

I won't do the same and tell you more about the violence, you can just read any bloody newspaper.

I took a few (rather blurry I must admin) Photos with my mobile phone, and also four films: 1 2, 3, 4.
