US President Barack Obama's administration on Thursday voiced its approval of the discriminatory EU decision the day before to label Jewish goods from Judea, Samaria, eastern Jerusalem and the Golan Heights.

The administration said the move is only a "technical guideline," and is not a boycott, reports Associated Press - despite the obvious assumption that consumers would follow the labeling when choosing what products to buy.

US State Department spokesperson Mark Toner said, "we do not believe that labeling the origin of products is equivalent to a boycott.

Good. I am interested in buying more Jewish products and this will help.

Currently I buy Naot shoes made in Israel. They are attractive and comfortable.

Please, people, we need a list of items (small items!) from Israel so that people like me can support the country.

OK, then, then technically, the guideline describing 0bama is that he’s a Marxist Jew-hater.

I’d like to buy some products made in Israel, but never seem to come across any other than the Soda Stream which I don’t need. Put bigger labels on the Israeli products.

OK mr toooooner. How about you insist on labeling the meat and veggies that come into the US... you know, like freaking chinee pork and chicken. You know, the Smithfield chinee brand that is shipped to china from whereever, slaughtered, processed and packaged and shipped to the US. OK???

This IS a discriminatory EU labeling. Check it out.

“I thought most products have country of origin on them?”

The US Congress recently voted to remove country of origin from meat products sold in the US in order to comply with “free trade” agreement provisions.

People would rather have crappy produce than food from evil Jooooos. Because Israeli produce is widely known as the best in Europe. Before the BDS’ers started this pogrom, Israeli hydroponic produce had become #1 in several markets, including Holland, an incredible feat given their small size and large distance.
