Products from Israeli settlements must be labelled, EU court rules

The European Court of Justice has ruled that “Foodstuffs originating in the territories occupied by the state of Israel must bear the indication of their territory of origin.”

This ruling is welcome. If enforced, it should enable those, who do not wish to support the illegal Israeli settlements in the West Bank, to avoid buying their products. The alternative would be to boycott all goods manufactured in Israel. Is that what Israel wants?

Prof Kontorovich, the director of international law at the Jerusalem-based Kohelet Policy Forum, said the European court was “approving putting a new kind of yellow star on Jewish-made products”. Pfui Kontorovich, professor or no professor. This relativism is disgusting.

Pfui also to those voices who speak of Antisemitism in the court’s ruling. (In Germany, it’s the usual suspects, whose philosemitism includes the support of Israel and its politics, such as Die Welt or BILD)
