Iceland

An Icelandic Eurovision hopeful challenged Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu to a wrestling match.

"I admit unreservedly that I put the Israeli government, the Israeli military and the Jewish people under the same hat,” wrote Paul Oskar. “I made judgments and generalizations about Jewish people."

Throughout our history the Jews have been simultaneously the chosen as well as the frozen people, shut out in the cold by their neighbors who have chosen to shun and persecute them.

Conference of European Rabbis President Rabbi Pinchas Goldschmidt told The Jerusalem Post that his organization used a three-pronged approach to try to combat Iceland’s move.

"If passed, the Icelandic measure would create insurmountable challenges for Jews and Muslims living there,”

Iceland’s authorities might as well hang a large sign in the arrivals terminal at Reykjavik airport saying, “No Jews or Muslims allowed.”

This would make Jews and Muslims "criminals," bishop says.

Rabbi Avi Feldman, 27, of Brooklyn, New York and his Sweden-born wife Mushky are slated to settle with their two daughters in Reykjavík, the world’s northernmost capital city, later this year.

The measure cites the prohibition of female genital mutilation in 2005, arguing a similar prohibition is necessary for males.

Reykjavik was the first European capital to support boycotting products from Israeli settlements.
