Surprisingly, many of the tasters said they had not heard about the decision to label so-called "settlement" products.

"If we chanced upon those who'd heard about the decision, we were embraced with a hug and passionate support," said Lev HaOlam chairman Nati Rom. "People don't like boycotts, from our perspective and theirs, it's not how people should act."

Do they have 85% dark chocolate with no lactose? Can I buy it online?
If so, show me where to place my order!
I’d even pay more than at my local supermarket.

Israeli pharmaceuticals are helping me lead a healthier, happier life. And I suspect that’s true for a lot of Jew haters, too.

God Bless Israel!

Just glanced at the site.

Think you have to do a monthly subscription. Not sure.

The WTO threatened the US with $2B in fines if Country of Origin labeling of meat continues to be mandated.
