Pall Oskar, known abroad as Paul Oscar, who was Iceland’s representative to the Eurovision Song Contest in 1997, is calling on Iceland to pull out of the event since it is being held in Israel.
During an interview Tuesday on the national radio broadcaster.Rás 1, Oskar crossed over from criticism of Israel and its treatment of the Palestinians to anti-Semitism, the English-language Reykjavik Grapevine reported.
“The reason why the rest of Europe has been virtually silent is that Jews have woven themselves into the fabric of Europe in a very sly way for a very long time. It is not at all hip and cool to be pro-Palestine in Britain,” he said. “The tragedy is that Jews learned nothing from the Holocaust. Instead, they have taken up the exact same policy of their worst enemy.”
Oskar apologized in a Facebook for conflating Israel with the Jewish people.
“I admit unreservedly that I put the Israeli government, the Israeli military and the Jewish people under the same hat,” he wrote. “I made judgments and generalizations about Jewish people.”
Oskar said his criticism of Israel is still valid, however.
“Israel’s government, Israel’s army and their governance, on the other hand, receive no discount,” he said. “The rest of the comment stands.”

DO NOT CONFATE ZIONISM WITH JUDAISM. Wow! He grasped what Yidelech dont. Zionism and Judaism are the diametrically opposed.. He may hate Zionists and not be a Jew hater. A erlicha Yid hates Zionism too as they are the antithesis of Yidishkeit.
We have more antisemites in the Israeli government than we can handle. Typical Israelis to scream fowl now. They’re the source of antisemitism. Its crystal clear.
There were thousands of Jews stationed in Iceland in both the US military and the British military during World War Two; those Jews prevented the Nazis from invading Iceland. This two bit, drug using pop singer, should close his face.
The theology where ‘frum’ Jews hate the Jewish heimlandt is singularly irrational and bizarre. They hate other Jews more than antisemites do. But they get to finger point and feel superior in their exile.
To all of you those who hate Zionism, hate Yidden , zionism is a pretense
