From Icelandic capital boycotts all Israeli products
Add ToI as a Preferred Source on GoogleThe city of Reykjavik, the capital of Iceland, will no longer purchase goods made in Israel.
According to a report in Iceland Magazine, the city council voted yesterday to boycott Israeli goods as long as the “Israeli occupation of Palestinian territories” continues.
A councilwoman for the Social Democratic Alliance, Björk Vilhelmsdóttir, is behind the initiative. Vilhelmsdóttir is set retire from politics soon and the motion is her last major act as a councilwoman.
Reykjavik has less than 150,000 inhabitants.
An official in Israel’s Foreign Ministry says that “a volcano of hatred” is erupting from the Reykjavik city hall. The official cites the move as one motivated by “pure hatred.”
