Iceland President is married to Jerusalemite Dorritt Mousieff of the famous family and was here recently and got a huge welcom and tv special about her now I know why the Israeli media loved her should have known there would be an Israeli behind Iceland recognizing so called "Palestine" Her ancestors must be rolling over in their graves.

How does the song go? "You're as cold as ice, and you're willing to sacrafice".... I will be sure to boycott Iceland for trying to change facts and re-direct history.

It is no surprise the Iceland's government has taken this step. This is the same government that provided a haven for the notorious anti-Semite Bobby Fisher after Japan expelled him.

Not the first country to recognise the rightful indigenous owners of Palestine and won't be the last. Well done Iceland.

They confirm he's delusional. The land doesn't belong to the Arabs because they rejecting it back in 1947. Now, they are using the agreement, they rejected to base their claim. Crazy! What's crazier is that supposed "intelligent" Western Governments cannot see through this craziness and lack of logic.

their work. They are not ignorant of swindles of the jewish homeland as their nations did it. It is unbelievable that these thieves swindled the jews of the 77% of the palestine mandate, which was legally binding under international law, and brought in the foreign hashemite clan from mecca to rule the fake state of jordan created by them. The jews need to be fully educated that they must not accept these european swindles foisted on the jews under duress after 2000 years of killing them. The US is now rcognising and attempting to rectify their sindlings of the native americans; if the europeans and world cannot do the same with the jews the jews must take what is theirs. First it is important to educate world jewry that these swindles can be rectified and that the land truly belongs to the jews.

I can tell you, that we don't have to take this too harshly, at least regarding the sentiments of ordinary Icelanders. Nearly 100% of them are completely clueless and ignorant about the Israeli-Palestinian conflict, they never hear about it in the news, they simply have much more interesting things in life to care about, than some faraway conflict between some tribes. So this is by no means a reflection of the Icelandic public opinion, but rather, a lameass attempt by the Icelandic government (what would you expect from a leftist lesbian as PM?), to win over some popularity of the world's liberal elite, which greatly eroded after Iceland's bankruptcy. Most Icelanders are very friendly to Israel, and I am sure that if made aware of the real situation here, they would disapprove of this move.

Have Iceland ever played any mayor role in world politics? I only know its government breached European Law (EEA treaty) concerning discrimination on grounds of nationality. Not a good example for the Palestinians.

what a foul nation.

WOW! Iceland recognizing ''Palestine''?? Hey this is a bankrupt nation of NITWITS who's education and knowledge of history comes from what is printed on a bottle of VODKA!

Those idiots have brain freeze.

Right wingers will bash any country in the world if they dont agree with their views.

The Mexican drug cartels? The mafia?

...the sort of classless, mindlessly hateful comment that just makes me think "This person doesn't really have a rational rebuttal, so they're gonna scream and call names." Given how much idiotic screaming and namecalling has been done on both sides of the Israeli-Palestine conflict in the last 50 years, I can hardly blame a civilized country -- which ranks pretty damn high on quality of life indices compared to the USA for you to be trashing it -- for raising their hands and saying "Enough of this." You're a damned fool, Armand. Those evil Scandianavian liberals do JUST fine for itself, even if international financiers saw fit to screw Iceland over. They have infrastructure, a social safety net, and a respect for culture. You have strings of insults. I know which side I feel confident taking here.

...that you think simply giving a voice and official recognition to an occupied people is inherently and automatically a threat to Israel. I think that shows us all EXACTLY the sort of mentality (on both sides, don't get me wrong) that's kept an intelligent resolution from happening here. Can you not even conceive of the possibility that one might be able to help both peoples at the same time? Is this some kind of twisted sociopathic board game to you people, with a winner and a loser?! Those pawns are human civilians, jackass.

Okay Iceland..then let's give YOUR land to them, and let's start to wear burka, hijab and all the muslim stuffs. :) If you so love the "Palestinians" then create a state for them in YOUR own country and don't play with other independent countries. Risk your own scalps and not ours.

Why dont you move to East Jerusalem where you will feel more comfortable & happier, with your beloved muslim brothers. Maybe your name is Mohammed?

No wonder they support terrorists. Stupid peasants and fishermen.

mosque...and some Muzzie immigrants...!

part of the Middle-East in the media?

IN THAT CASE YOUR REACTION IS CORRECT I THOUGHT/THINK.

You have to have something to show for yourself to start legitamizng and backing others and quite frankly i dont see the world any different to what it is now (besides we might have some more money) if iceland would never have existed.

Islanders - you already have big problems.. Why escalate your problems by following the palestinian disaster policy?

fight for Paleswine's liberation to the last Israeli. Why don't you bring your saga-ridden asses down here and taste some of our home brew? Or, better yet, just allow an Arab Muslim family to immigrate to your country, wait one generation and... oops! Lo and behold: it is now called ICELAMD! No more vodka but plenty of burka instead. Good luck you lousy tuna canners))

Lazlo Toth Lembeck,listen up. The only way to help the Palestinians is if you drove every single Israeli into the sea. Thats what they want & that is their intention. I do however forgive your failure to understand the true feelings of the Palestinians.

and Norway both... But the good news is no one is listening. Everybody knows, if you are looking for some intelligent life forms, go elsewhere. Even my otherwise highly reserved Finnish friend used the word MORON to describe them. And yes, I know many Norwegians and Icelanders personally and I worked with these people...

Arabs bought this vote to a bankrupted Iceland. Iceland has lost its independance.

Something sounds fishy,especially Iceland. the earliest Europeans to go BANKRUPT.Go figure.

I hope they start importing all the mohams....just each and see!! This cursed country now will go to crap!!!
