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."

Obama’s war on Israel continues.
Congress where are you?
bear with me because i’m a little slow :)
is it because that they are part of Israel that this is bad?
it would seem like forcing the putting of “Made in Israel” would seem more prejudiced, like it was highlighting that fact as bad.
Thanks ahead of time for the clarification.
all i know is it must somehow be anti Israeli if it is coming under obama’s regime.
he doesn’t even try to hide it anymore and has forced them to deal with Russia.
This is nuts.
This is outrageous. I hate our current President and his administration.
Wait - didn’t i just see the resolution of some trade dispute that said we couldn’t require labeling or some such thing?
I am boycotting EU products, along with anything made by Heinz.
**********************************************
Why Heinz? I’ve read that it’s no longer owned by Terreza Heinz & J. F.ing Kerry.
Since I grew up in Gush Katif, should I wear a yellow star?
Obama’s war on Israel continues.
**************************************
One more year of this anti Israel B.S. and we will have an American President.
Yes - yes I did see where labels couldn’t be applied see:

So either we’ll be hit with another WTO complaint or the WTO will prove they are anti-semites.
Obama’s war on Israel(and us) continues.
Horn boi keeps it up and he will learn God is not amused..
Come Lord!
Actually, a few days short of an year and it can’t come soon enough.
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.
The Obama occupation is now requiring a yellow star. We have seen this before.
Congress is hiding behind Obama
I have said this for some time. Before he leaves office he will fly the Pali flag or the Isis flag or the taliban flag at the WH for a state diner.
He will also order our troops to fire on Israel or one of their jets before he goes.
Just never forget your orange strip.
