1. Fire, ice and dumbs
BGC ,   Jerusalem   (09.16.15)
A small, bankrupt country with relations with dictators from Iran, Sudan and Syria. Scandinavia has some fixation about Palestine. When the councilwoman tries to enter Israel, either through Ben Gurion or the Jordanian border, arrest her and send her back home.
2. Shame on Iceland!
Alfredo ,   R   (09.17.15)
Send a delegation to Israel and the Arab countries to see where there really is apartheid, slavery, dictatorships and torture. You are just demonstrating your ignorance. Here I thought that Iceland was a civilized country
3. three thousand years....
Shosh ,   U.S   (09.17.15)
.....later and hate for Jews is as easy now as it was then.
4. Reykjavik
(09.17.15)
5. Icelandic boycott
Henry Tobias ,   Israel   (09.16.15)
Doesn't Iceland remember the Nazis? The Jews are always to blame!
6. Iceland just dropped a few notches...
Koose E Mack ,   NY US   (09.16.15)
I guess they don't have enough refugees and Palestinian immigrants yet?
7. israel
Susan ,   new york   (09.17.15)
Iceland appears to be an antiSemetic country. They are using this as an excuse. There is NO Aparteid here. If the Palestinians were more interested in making peace with Israel as much as Israel is, instead of trying to wipe Israel off the map, they would have their own country. Icelanders are not dealing with the facts; only Iceland's feelings of ANTISEMITISM.
8. they have been breathing in too much volcanic ash...
Ozraeli ,   Australia   (09.17.15)
eating too much smoked herring [not to mention those long, long winters...]. They loved the self hating Bobby Fisher! Let them take in a few thousand Palestinians or Syrian "refugees", & we"ll see how long the lovefest lasts.
9. Its 24 h of darkness in winter & 24 h light in summer
Tomer   (09.16.15)
Its that plus all that inbreeding that drives them crazy.
10. They will hurt Arab workers!!!!!!
(09.16.15)
11. Who cares?? Iceland? Really??
David ,   Hartford USA   (09.17.15)
Ok, so Israel will lose the 23 Krona (about 6 sheqel) in trade. Who cares? Iceland's economy is worse than Greece's! Israel should tell the leaders of Iceland, "Fine, keep your worthless money. You have nothing in trade that we want anyway! And don't forget to stay away from our medicines, medical equipment, and technology. We want to help you to keep your hands 'clean' ." Iceland, a place where the land is frozen, the politicians corrupt, and the people brainless. No wonder nobody wants to live there! Hey! Maybe Bjork-the-Dork will invite the Palestinians to come and live there! That would solve all the problems!
12. Palestinians rejected Jewish refugees in WWII
i-ce correction   (09.16.15)
Iceland can make historic correction. Deny assistance to Palestinian extremists.
13. Iceland is about as insignificant as they come
k ,   US   (09.17.15)
another insignifcant country looking to make a name for themselves by getting on the modern day anti-semitsm, I am hoping they are going to have alot of punishment in the future
14. Pal terrorists now dictate what Icelanders buy
Benji ,   US   (09.16.15)
Ms. Björk Vilhelmsdóttir needs to expand her horizons and visit Israeli employers who hire Palestinian workers. Visit Israeli hospitals and see the treatment they receive in Israel. Ask the Palestinians why they prefer terror over peace and keep provoking wars with Israel. During the hospital visit, speak with Israeli victims of terror and see what damage Palestinians call victory. Ms. Vilhelmsdóttir should bring Sema Erla Serdar with her. This is the idiot who pushes the BDS movement behind this effort in Iceland. As for people in Iceland who want to purchase Israeli products, you can get whatever you want on-line. The merchants will suffer. These boycott pushers in Iceland could care less.
15. ATTENTION: Send the refugees to Rejkiavik
JJ ,   USA   (09.17.15)
I urge all the Israeli supporters to go to the websites dealing with the refugee issue and post there that Rejkivik is accepting refugees. Hopefully they will receive a few hundred thousands so, they won't have to go to Palestine to help them; they could do it from home.
16. Icelandic anger at UK terror move
Durak ,   Durakistan   (09.17.15)
BBC NEWS | UK | UK Politics | Icelandic anger at UK terror move news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/uk_news/politics/7688560.stm
17. "Iceland's capital bans all Israeli products"
Big Yossi ,   Israel   (09.16.15)
Are they banning Hungarian products too?
18. Have just cancelled my trip to Iceland!
Frank ,   USA   (09.16.15)
Screw that hateful anti-Semitic land. Let them get surrounded by the Palestinian Nazis/terrorists and get a taste of the Middle Eastern neighborhood. Ugly, ignorant people they are!
19. Iceland's ban on Israeli Products
Moti ,   Surprise, AZ, USA   (09.16.15)
Whether symbolic or not, I will now cancel my future planned trips to Iceland. Let them look inwardly at the 'other side' before make such ridiculous statements.
20. above
moishe   (09.17.15)
does Iceland really matter. NO. hypocrites.
21. Iceland rejects israeli goods
linndal ,   Israel   (09.17.15)
Has Iceland offered migrants to come and live in his country
22. Well I never
Marco Polo ,   Israel   (09.17.15)
I had a trip planned to Dublin, but I will cancel it. Take that Iceland!
23. We can do without Rejkyavik, but can they do without brain?
(09.17.15)
24. "Those Icelanders"
Zeev Raphael ,   Haifa, Israel   (09.17.15)
I have just glanced at the Comments and Talkbacks to this news item. The great majority, if not All of them, are calling down fire & brimstone upon “those dumb Icelanders”… I humbly suggest that we Israelis start a thorough Examination of Ourselves. After all, the whole world -not only Iceland!- is criticizing our actions… There is an old Yiddish saying that goes something like this: If three people tell you that you are drunk, - then go home and sleep it off… The Wise One will understand the allusion…
25. maybe they should take some Syrian refugees in?
David ,   New York   (09.16.15)
It's always nice to be called racist from the whitest country in the world. Why don't we send them some Arab refugees as a present?
26. I ban kosher products
hebrew man   (09.17.15)
Stupid small bunch of people who never visit isreal or middle east are only media zomby and need no attention from israeli media
27. Again proof that BDS equals antisemtism
Daniel ,   TA_IL   (09.17.15)
Again the leftwing hatred shows it real face... they do not care about occupation or the westbank, they want to hurt all jews who dare to defend themselves. Then again adolf was also a leftwinger!
28. Democracy
Michael ,   Haifa   (09.17.15)
Every person in a democracy is enntitlrd to buy or not buy from anybody they choose
29. Iceland boycott? LOL
tiki ,   belgium   (09.17.15)
300 000 citizens. Main export ? fish & volcanic dust!
30. @15: They already volunteered
Raphael ,   Netanya   (09.17.15)
Some 10,000 Schicelanders offered to shelter arab refugees in their private home so as to make the reluctant Europeans feel guilty. This could be a fruitful experience which the Swedes already had: an outbreak of rapes, murders, thefts, landgrabbing. Within a few years, they will turn into staunch Israel supporters.
