Lawyer Alan Dershowitz has criticised Norway's Israel ambassador for "suggesting Hamas terrorism against Israel is more justified than the recent terrorist attack against Norway".

Svein Sevje told Israeli newspaper Maariv that Palestinians "are doing this because of a defined goal that is related to the Israeli occupation. There are elements of revenge against Israel and hatred of Israel. To this you can add the religious element to their actions.

"We Norwegians consider the occupation to be the cause of the terror against Israel. Those who believe this will not change their mind because of the attack in Oslo."

Mr Deshowitz said he "could not remember many other examples of so much nonsense compressed in so short an interview.
