Come on don’t t be silly

The headline is meant to sensationalize

The stupid title most damn well sure lead folks to think all Jewish products in the EU will be labeled which is crazy as hell

The reality is these numbnuts actually want to label Israeli goods made by Israelis in what they deem occupied territories like the West Bank

Which is a far cry from labeling Jewish goods pell mell

Title should have read:

Products from Israeli occupied Palestinian lands to be labeled as such

But no they sensationalized it and it’s misleading

France for instance has wineries, fashion houses, chocolate makers, banks and so forth....some are French iconic businesses owned by Jews

The headline indicates those would have been labeled

And Freepers who as a rule don’t read articles went for it

The inconsistency in the whole idiotic affair is that not all products made by Israelis in the West Bank are made by Jews

Some are owned by non Jewish Israelis which make up 20-25% of Israel population so is this directed exclusively at Jews or Israelis

If it’s the latter then the headline is more off

Or will they determine if this West Bank product is made by Israeli Arab and exclude it..

Olive oil for example

Gotta go with drpix and mewzilla on this.

The headline is not comprehensive (headlines aren’t), misleading, or overly long (headlines aren’t). It provides an introduction to and gives a general sense of the subject matter. I would also not consider it sensational because anyone interested in the topic would certainly read and hopefully understand the article without jumping to outrage mode.

That's exactly the way the leftwing media would phrase it.

"Title should have read: Products from Israeli occupied Palestinian lands to be labeled as such"

Who's misleading and silly? Here's a map of the West Bank:

The the UN and the EU may call all those scattered tiny patches "a single territorial unit" - but honest people can see through that fraud. Those patches live on the same Israeli electric power, water, sewers and roads as the rest of the West Bank. The distinction is really only religious (Jew vs Non-Jew). And honest people will not ignore the fact that most Palestinians and their leaders actually believe all of Israel since 1949 has been occupied Palestinian land.

Any policy allowed to be used today against Jews in the West Bank will be tried against all Jews in Israel eventually.
