South Africa has shown good moral judgment in issuing a directive that
calls for the labelling of goods or products emanating from the
Occupied Territories to prevent consumers being led to believe that such goods
come from Israel.
Israel’s Deputy Foreign Minister, Danny Ayalon, reaction was "South Africa remains an apartheid state." More than that, referring to the
recent killing of 34 striking miner by SA police, he added "Instead of
deciding to label Israeli products, South Africa should have acted courageously
towards the 34 innocent miners that were just asking for an improvement in
working conditions."
He who lives in a glass house… Considering the growing
number of xenophobic and racist crimes in Israel, Ayalon, should just shut up. Yet,
as his behaviour seems to find favour with his superiors as well as his
constituency - perhaps he is not that
stupid, just an offensive moron.
It should be notes that South Africa is not alone: many
Israelis also boycott products manufactured by Settlers in the Occupied
Territories.
