US requires Judea-Samaria goods to be labeled
Arutz Sheva ^ | 28/1/16 | Ariel Soffer

Posted on 01/28/2016 1:12:27 PM PST by Eleutheria5

A mail from the Cargo Systems Messaging Service of the US Customs and Border Protection dated to this Saturday, and revealed by Channel 1's "Mabat" show on Thursday, shows the US is now required products from Judea and Samaria to be labeled differently.

In new instructions on marking requirements sent out to American importers, goods from Judea and Samaria are not to be marked "Israel." Those who do not comply are to be sanctioned.

"West Bank Country of Origin Marking Requirements," reads the title of the mail, which begins by clarifying that "the purpose of this message is to provide guidance to the trade community regarding the country of origin marking requirements for goods that are manufactured in the West Bank."

"Goods produced in the West Bank or Gaza Strip shall be marked as originating from 'West Bank,' 'Gaza,' 'Gaza Strip,' 'West Bank/Gaza,' 'West Bank/Gaza Strip,' 'West Bank and Gaza,' or 'West Bank and Gaza Strip.'"

"It is not acceptable to mark the aforementioned goods with the words 'Israel,' 'Made in Israel,' 'Occupied Territories-Israel,' or any variation thereof," warned the mail. It threatened that such goods that are marked as products of Israel "will be subject to an enforcement action carried out by U.S. Customs and Border Protection."

Good. I'll confirm in advance that the Israeli products that I buy come from the Jewish "settlers" and not from the terrorists.

I’m restricting EU products that I buy or participate in developing to those developed in small open source design collaborations (electronics components, custom shop vehicle transmission/engine adapters) and only those with no anti-Israel politics associated with them in any way.

Good. I would not want to be fooled into buying anything from enemies of Jewish people.

Just a sticker saying “product of now-Arab-occupied Aza” or simply “made in Aza” in Assyrian-script Hebrew letters, translation into English underneath.

Just make sure he actually steps down. I worry that by then the US will be a Caliphate. Not likely, but certainly possible, perhaps not entirely unfavorable odds.

Strip? I have a whole shirt.

There is a reason this proud sabra Israeli is working in the USA. I got really, really mad.

The shul where I “bar mitzvahed” was burned down by the savages.

You know, it’s just empty. Not even Arab-occupied anymore. Just kind of a DMZ.

You will probably laugh at this, because we were a very observant home, but we all surfed. Almost every day but Shabbos.

Hippy-dippy Hasidic Jewish surfers. I don’t think that community existed anywhere else in the world.

Easily my happiest moments of my life to date were on the beach there.

I was active in the IDF at the time (fortunately air force, so I had no direct involvement). But I showed up in the weeks before to help my parents and extended family pack and get the expensive equipment out of the greenhouses.

I surfed one last time, then pushed my childhood surf board into the ocean and swam back. I have dreams about it sometimes.

When you live there again can I come for shabbos?

Q: Since I grew up in Gush Katif, should I wear a yellow star?

A: Would American Jews overwhelmingly elect an obvious anti-Semite Muslim, one who studied under the notorious anti-Semite Rev. Wright for two decades, not once but twice?

Hense Barky’s trip to, and speech at the Israeli embassy in DC.

He wanted to personally stab Israel in the back, while telling the world how anti-semitism is on the rise around the world.

Requiring goods produced in pali occupied Israel to NOT be marked as “product of Israel.” I guess it’s not too different than refusing to allow parents of American born children, born in Jerusalem, to put “Jerusalem, Israel” as their birth-place on official documents, like passports. I’ve got a couple of cousins who are American citizens with just that dilemma.

Around 2004 my dad came to visit me in California. We went to a diner and sat down at a table. The waitress showed up and gave us menus and put on the table a bottle of Heinz ketchup. Dad went off.....told her who owned that company.

A lot of things have changed since 2004. See reply number 37.

Berkshire Hathaway owns majority and control of Heinz.

If every Jewish person in the USA voted Republican in both elections Obama still would be president.

You cannot lay fault of Obama on the foot of my small and scattered tribe, and certainly not on Israeli dual citizens such as myself who are overwhelmingly conservative.

I think he was referring to the American JINOs not to the Israeli dual citizens. I’ve had that same conversation with my friend who currently lives in Yokneam. He raised the same point of the relatively small numbers of voters. My reply was that it was not so much the votes that count but the amount of money raised for the Jew hating bass turd by the American Jews. and for some reason a lot of Israeli Jews think that Hitlery kisses up to the muslims just for political expediency and is pro Israel. I have heard it with my own ears.
