European Antisemitism At Work Again

Posted: 11/12/2015

Trigger

The print edition of the U.S. Wall Street Journal had it today (11/12/2015) as news on the front page “The EU set labeling rules for products from Israeli settlements in occupied Palestinian territories … The publication on Wednesday of the European Commission guidance, which came after a three-year delay due to pressure from the U.S.. and Israel, obliges European importers to label agricultural and some industrial products for sale in the 28-nation bloc as being produced in settlements.” (emphasis added).

To my great surprise the WALL STREET JOURNAL article further stated: “Three European countries - the UK, Belgium, and Denmark - already label goods coming from Israeli settlements.”

Remarks

1. This appears to be a very unusual, peculiar and selective measure. Are there any comparable measures by the EU against other countries in effect, I wonder?
2. What a burden it must be for businesses to keep track of Israeli products! Its incredible!
3. This rule was published at a time when Israeli citizens again like so many times before for so many years suffer daily terrorist attacks from Arabs
4. What is the EU actually doing about terrorist organisations like Hamas and PLO or about dictators and violence instigators like Mahmoud Abbas?
5. It is shocking that countries like the UK and of all countries Denmark are already doing this. Denmark, whose citizens and king, so bravely defended the Jews against the Nazis.
6. The Arabs are the problem not Israel memo to EU!
