Iceland: Jews not welcome here....
Now, why on earth are the people in Iceland so anti-semitic????
Anti-Semitism has reared its ugly head in the capital of the island nation of Iceland, where the door of a bicycle shop displays a sign baldly stating "Judar Ekki Velkomnir" -- "Jews Not Welcome Here."
The word used on the sign, "Judar," carries a derogatory connotation in the Icelandic language, according to the Icelandic native that brought the sign to the attention of the Jewish Agency for Israel. "Gydingur" is the correct neutral word for Jew, according to Vilhjalmur Orn Vilhjalmsson, who emailed information about the shop and its owner to a friend in Israel.
Vilhjalmsson, who has written about the Jews in Iceland for the Jerusalem Center for Public Affairs (JCPA)'s Institute for Global Jewish Affairs, noted in a past article that no Jewish presence existed on the island prior to the 1930s.
An article about the anti-Semitic sign and shop owner in Reykjavik appeared Thursday on Iceland's DV.is news website, which also featured a photo of the owner in his shop.

I blame Asterix for all of Iceland's problems.
why should anyone care? Let them stew in their own bankdrupt jewces.
The shopkeeper must be an idiot. Perhaps he blames the economic woes of Iceland on secret Jewish anti -Iceland conspiracies. How ridiculous.
I don't suppose this exhibition of hatred will do a lot for their tourism industry. However, I am sure most Icelanders will be embarrassed by this ignorant shopkeeper. I would like to think so anyway.
I would be pissed off too if a bunch of Jewish international bankers bankrupted my country... oh shi- actually they did.
Not sure who to blame, but once Iceland's banking system was opened up, the floodgates led to what has happened. The banking system went on a financing spree it could not maintain. Many people primary to this happening are easy to identify as well as political leaders. (real conservative)
