The city of Reykjavik, Iceland’s capital, banned not just the products made in the OTs, but ALL Israeli products. Oy, those are cold people! Councilwoman Vilhelmsdóttir said, “I believe that the city is sending a clear message that it will not purchase products from Israel while Israel oppresses another people on the basis of ethnicity and race, and continues having the wall inside Palestine.” So one-sided, isn’t it? So without context. What about the 6 million Jews who perished in the Holocaust? The same person, Councilwoman Björk Vilhelmsdóttir, said that she intends to spend the rest of the year doing humanitarian work in the Palestinian territories. Doesn’t that smack of radicalization and perhaps something worse, I won’t say what, but it begins with “anti” and ends with “emitism.”? Thankfully, as reports ynet, the party that proposed the resolution and has a majority in the city council, the Social Democratic Alliance, does not have a majority in the Icelandic parliament. While it is true that 64% of icelanders live in the capital there are, well, 36% who don’t. So it is not as if all of Iceland is boycotting Israel. The city council has in the past adopted a resolution acknowledging the rights of the Palestinians to independence and a sovereign country of their own. It has criticized what it calls the Israeli government’s “racist apartheid policy”. City Council President and Bright Future Party Chairman Björn Blöndal said that the resolution was merely symbolic. According to him, it’s a “peaceful way to protest injustice.” Israeli foreign ministry spokesperson Emmanuel Nahshon said in response, “A volcano of hatred is erupting out of the city council building in Reykjavik. Without any reason or justification, other than pure hatred, we hear calls to boycott Israel. We hope someone in Iceland comes to their senses and stops the blindness and the one-sidedness that is directed at Israel, the only democracy in the Middle East.” In general, Iceland is considered very critical of Israel. During 2011’s Operation Pillar of Cloud, the country’s interior minister, Ögmundur Jónasson, headed a 1,000-person protest in front of the US embassy in Reykjavik, as Israel doesn’t have an embassy in Iceland. I suppose they also reasoned that the US is USrael, a conclusion hard to refute. The protesters waved “blood-soaked” Israeli flags and the minister accused Israel of performing a holocaust on the Palestinian people. Imagine that! They actually used the Word that cannot be used for anything else other than a reference to the 6 sainted millions. Iceland’s former foreign minister, Össur Skarphéðinsson, has also condemned Israel in the past, saying his country would consider cutting diplomatic ties with Jerusalem. Iceland was a supporter of the UN resolution to upgrade Palestine to the status of a non-member observer state. Iceland is also the country that chased out/imprisoned the bankers following the crisis and then refused to pay its debts to the international borrowers. Goyish lawlessness. Last but, never forget, never forgive: they gave asylum and citizenship to the self-hater of all self-haters: Bobby Fischer. It is safe to say that if Iceland did not exist, the Jews would not push to have it invented.

Good on Iceland, first the bankers, now all of Israel; very well done.

What Israel loses in trade the American taxpayers and donors will be called upon to make up, unless perhaps Trump gets elected.
That's our only hope. Pray that he's not killed.

Or would that be "especially if Trump gets elected"? "Donald Trump, Hillary Clinton to headline AIPAC conference".........
I resemble that remark
