sraeli officials reacted angrily Thursday night to a British decision to advise retailers and importers to distinguish on labels whether imported produce from the West Bank is being made in the settlements or by Palestinians.
According to a statement released by the British Department for Environment Food and Rural Affairs, "Importers, retailers, NGOs and consumers have asked the Government for clarity over the precise origin of products from the Occupied Palestinian Territories (OPTs). The label 'West Bank' does not allow consumers to distinguish between goods originating from Palestinian producers and goods originating from illegal Israelisettlements."

Illegal Israeli settlements?
Israel should just respond, that all British Imports must be marked with country of origin: Wales, Scotland, Ireland and England. I am sure the welsh, scots, irish, and english don’t mind labeling their products honestly? Since there is no real Britian anymore, lets drop the charade.
Labels, like “This is a dirty Jewish orange” or “This is a nice, clean Palestinian orange with the blessings of Allah”?
How about making waiters in England wear labels that say: “I’m a Pakistani Muslim waiter, and I don’t believe in washing my hands”? or, “I’m a Jewish waiter with a long history of good hygiene habits”?
If you’d like to be on or off, please FR mail me.

Good for the Brits. The good news, they don't have to buy all that Gaza produce either.
Yes, they’ll refuse to buy it, making the farmers in Chalchul, for whose “rights” they are protesting, very happy.
Uh...Muslims throughout history? Uh...Mideival Christians? No...no...no...Starts with an N...
Europe has forsaken Israel
