Iceland’s support for Palestinian statehood at the UN is part of a long history of anti-Semitism in the island nation
...
Few Jews live in the country
...
Iceland is a nation of 320 000 people – just to remind you –
how many experts on Jews and Anti-Semitism must one have?

Furthermore, Mr. Gerstenfeld tries to paint Iceland as anti-Semitic country
simply based on the fact that only very few Jews live there.
True, only very few people in Iceland are Jews.
...
Also, Mr. Gerstenfeld criticizes that there is only one
“expert on the country's attitude toward Jews” in Iceland.

Iceland’s government shows considerable arrogance toward Israel.
Skarphedinsson represents a country that has caused huge financial damage abroad.
Yet he believes that he should tell sovereign Israel how it should run its affairs.
On his recent visit he requested that Israel unconditionally abandon its maritime blockade on Gaza.
He also condemned Israel’s defensive actions during the first flotilla.
Moreover, the Icelandic Parliament condemned Israel and some members suggested
placing sanctions on the Jewish state or even breaking off relations with it.
When the Olmert government sent Minister Yuli Tamir to Europe during the Gaza Cast Lead war,
Iceland refused to receive her.
