In light of the International Court of Justice (ICJ) verdict, Denmark on Saturday called for the end of all Israeli military operations in the city of Rafah, southern Gaza Strip, state media outlet DR said.”I look at the ruling that has been made with extreme seriousness, and I hope that it is also a seriousness that descends in Israel,” Foreign Minister Lars Lokke Rasmussen said, Anadolu Agency reports.

“There is now the international community’s legal assessment of this situation, and it matches the political assessment that the Danish government has also had for a long time – namely that we must have a cease-fire, not a land offensive,” he added.

    Lars Løkke Rasmussen is a right-wing politician who used to be a leader of the “Left” party (that is actually liberal, right-wing). Then he started a party called “the Moderates” and the party was elected to Parliament again. The social-democrats went into the coalition with him and the Prime Minister made him the foreign minister.

    Picture was taken in Afghanistan, in 1988, when the Taliban were fighting the Soviets.

        Danish “social democrats” have been right-wing for a while. Their foreign policy is a copy of the Danish People’s Party, the far right. What’s up with Danes using leftish sounding names for right wing parties?
