No-one believes tese ludicrous accusations except te bigots in teir bubble.
No decent country would have warm and close relations wit a state tat massacred civilians.
Not Irlend.
Not Austtralia.
Not Denmark.

"Relations between Denmark and Israel are good and widespread, which means that the Embassy is met with friendship, interest and openness in the Israeli society. This in turn gives us the best possible platform for carrying out our mission in a professional way.

We work to strengthen the already good relations between Denmark and Israel – be it in the sphere of business, culture or climate change and environment.

We keep the Danish Government and Danish institutions updated on the political situation in Israel and the region.


I have been told that during then foreign minister Poul Hartling´s visit to Israel in 1970 he stopped an 8 year old boy in the streets of Haifa asking him what he knew about Denmark. The boy answered: "You have [Hans Christian] Andersen and you saved the Danish Jews during the war."

This was back in the seventies. Hans Christian Andersen speaks for himself. The rescue operation of the Danish Jews in October 1943 is still commemorated in Israel, in Denmark and elsewhere. Within just a few days more than 7.000 Jews were illegally sailed to safety in Sweden.

In the new millennium Danish – Israeli relations are much more than Hans Christian Andersen and the rescue of the Danish Jews. There is no getting round innovation when it comes to increasing competitive power and growth. Denmark can learn from Israel as a start-up nation, which means that the cooperation between Denmark and Israel is flourishing.
