Iceland was settled voluntarily (not by people fleeing) by Vikings and latterly Danes and Norwegians. Anyone with a rudimentary understanding of
European history knows this. The first settlements started in c. 800AD.
Which of course, is a very popular "nationalist" and "zionist" point of view (notice, that I put the two on the same paper). And, totally
incorrect. It totally, and absolutely, conflicts with Icelands own history.
In Icelands "own" history, the reason for the move was fleeing the King of Norway.
The land was "officially" hapited around 876. The first to discover the country, was a swede, much earlier than that. And the ships they were
sailing on, were not long boats, but merchant ships ...
The people of Iceland wrote runes, they were known to name their Children after their father, and so a child was the son or daughter of their father.
Hense "johnson" and "johnsdottir". If you read swedish or norwegian history, you will also know that the people of these nations were persecuted
and burned on stakes, for knowing runes. Among the history of sweden, you will find all the women that were burned on stakes ... to be
"-dottir".
Today, you will find "-dottir" in graves on swedish church floors, but not in society.
Any "scholar", knows, that the reason for the migration was not adventurers ... but the great migration period of europe, at the end of the roman
and bisantine empires.
Which of course, the Zionist mind is a part of ... after all, they are in legion with the current Roman Empire.
