Israel's prime minister is accusing a German department store of a "boycott" after it removed products made in Israeli settlements under new European Union labeling guidelines.
Benjamin Netanyahu noted Sunday that Berlin's KaDeWe department store was once owned by Jews before the Nazis seized it. He says its decision to label products from Israeli communities and remove them from its shelves is "a boycott in every respect." ...

Shocker: Avis Car Rental Bars Israeli Executive from Renting

This happened on the Upper West Side and, yes, they’re Amish.
I have a container of dates in my fridge that were imported from Israel. I bought them from H-mart which is a Korean food chain here in DFW. Do Palestinians export much of anything of value other than terrorism? Think I’ll buy more Israeli dates and scrooge the EU boycotters-—fools all.
If youâd like to be on or off, please FR mail me.

Ironic that a store first boycotted in the 30s due to it's Jewish owners, later aryanized, is boycotting Israeli products.
How trite...aren’t there any issues more important for Israeli leaders to speak about?
a topic in its own right? Loved the graphic.

Germans should reflect on the fact that, while they boycott the Jews, it is they who are losing their country. And not to Jews.
I wouldn’t call it “trite”.
May the many good Germans excuse this - and thanks so very very much for being good people —but maybe this store would sell lampshades made out of the very same Jews? (Or would the store boycott selling the lampshades because the Jews that went into their manufacture had the temerity of actually asserting their right to live — and in their on homeland no less? my my what stiff- necked people!?).
Maybe then their Prime Minister could focus on more important issues than the display case at KaWaDe...
I think so!
Ping me if you do it, but don’t wait too long...

How do you do that, by country? No practical way. Besides, just labeling a product Israel dissuades antisemites. I have suggested labeling by city in Europe. If I don't want to buy from Marsailles or Paris, then I could avoid it. But that kind of labeling only applies to Israel.
Once the wine is sold to the European wholesaler what possible business does anyone in Israel have with what happens next?
Talk about tilting at windmills...
-btw its also worth noting that wine worldwide is typically sold by appellation which denotes the geographic region (not country) from which the grapes used to make the wine are grown.
