In the Danish newspaper Politiken a mother published a story about her 19 year old daughter who was held back by the immigration authorities in Israel when she tried to enter the country for a 6 week long holiday.
The daughter was subjected to violence and humiliating act during her short stay in Israel before she was deported. The Danish embassy was of no help due to our strong business connections. Orange import is important for Danes who lived in a harsh climate where many people are hit by illnesses during the long winter and because the military in Israel act harshly against the heathens they are kind of admired by the general consumers in Denmark. Most consumers would choose Jaffa oranges when they can pick between several kinds of oranges in shops.
But why was a 19 year old student with apparently no connections deemed as a national threat against Israel?
Maybe because she wanted to volunteer in areas Israel has occupied.
It is not what the mother writes in her article. She seemed to overlook the lesson we have been taught as result of the Niels Holck case. Danes should not aid or in any way support the third world on private basis. As some properly know the Danish author and humanitarian Niels Holck has been unfairly accused of terrorism by India. Nevertheless it is a government matter or a matter for large organization which have the means to bribe officials in order to ensure a smooth and efficient distribution of aid.
Second Danes who have commented the article seem to doubt whether the mother and daughter have been christened as most Danes. Were they heathens and was this the cause of the harsh treatment in Israel?
We don't know that. For us among me who believe in the Norse religion we would like to believe that Israel like Denmark accept heathens. However ethnic profiling has been used with success by the Danish police regardless of how criticized the method is. But we don't think that the immigration authorities in Israel dislike Danes in general.
Should tourists visit Israel with this incident in their minds?
It is a hard question to answer, but I have to say: NO
What is terrorism as of 2013? It is just a matter of a list and who holds office in various countries. The freedom fighters of today can be a terrorist tomorrow and you could share name or gender with some who is a terrorist and become the victim of mistaken identity.
So people should avoid traveling to Israel.

In some countries paying the officials are the only option
We have learned that a Danish businessman named Kent Kristensen is suffering in Romania because he failed to pay the right people when he tried to expand his business activities to this country.
He is now serving 7 years in prison if he survives the ordeal. All because he failed to pay officials while he had business activities down there and when he returned to Denmark they conducted a secret trial where he hadn’t the opportunity to hire a lawyer to defend himself.
Back in Denmark he married and got a daughter. The mother who was from another country had personal issues and fled Denmark with the child. The mother was arrested in Spain. When he flew down to get the child back he was arrested by the Spanish police and it was only then he learned of the trial in Romania.
The daughter ended up in a Spanish Asylum for children. The mother ended in a Spanish jail and he was extradited to Romania where they now are trying to get money out of him in exchange of him getting his medication and proper food.
The Danish authorities are trying to get the authorities down there to transfer him to Denmark but the authorities in Romania are not interested in letting their own citizens serve out their sentence where they belong – in Romania. In Denmark every 10th prisoner is a foreigner thanks to efficient ethnic profiling by the Danish police. If Romania and Denmark exchanged prisoners they will suffer economically due to the criminal nature of the tourists from Romania visiting Denmark.
So he is stuck and maybe he will only be able to return in a coffin.
We must warn Danish businessmen from conducting any kind of business with Romania. Their type of justice doesn’t allow failure or loss. In Denmark we are adjusted to the fact that risks taken in business transactions are not punishable. A number of Danish banks have filed for bankruptcy and the management is seldom held accountable because it is in the nature of conducting business to accept the risk of loss.
The business culture is simply too different and in Romania there are too many officials to pay off before business activities can take place.

Warning about Universities in England
We have to issue a warning against studying at some universities in the United Kingdom.
It seems that some of them like Manchester universities have introduced "new-campus" rules which prevent normal levels of socializing in the students spare time.
Danish students have also informed us that it is very difficult to get their credits obtained in England back to Denmark as the Danish Universities with the new law from 2010 maintain a very strict control with the curriculum exchange students have abroad.
In 2010 the Danish parliament introduced a new law where they have banned the use of the word "university" outside institutions acknowledged by the Danish Department of Education. In the past we had a lot of foreign exchange students attending Danish universities like KnightBridge University and Open Arab University in Denmark because their level of education was too low for them to be accepted in the state-approved universities.
The Danish parliament voted foreign exchange students out but in the process they forced the official universities to introduce a stricter control with Danes who choose to study abroad for some time, so they couldn't choose a diploma mill abroad. If you as a Danish student want to study abroad please plan for two years before you leave Denmark. Otherwise you will end up wasting time when you return home and the foreign credits are not accepted.
So be very careful before you consider studying in England.
