Palestinian officials are confiscating merchandise produced in West Bank settlements as part of Prime Minister Salam Fayyad's plan to remove all goods made in the settlements from Palestinian markets by the end of next year.
Although the government banned goods from settlements some time ago, it only launched a concerted effort to enforce the ban a few months ago.
Sources in the National Economy Ministry said that NIS 651,982 worth of goods were confiscated and disposed of in the second week of December alone. The goods included Ahava cosmetics and toiletries, plastic products, long-life milk made in the Golan, Mei Eden mineral water and pastries from the Atarot industrial park.

This is smart on their part, not
Israel can now remove and block all shipments to and from the Palestinians.
Don’t they think?
So I guess that will mean that the only products sold there will be the suicide bomber vests, now available in sizes for children and women, as well as men.

The palestinians have an economy? Who knew an economy consisted of international largesse and 50 gallons on cooking oil sumggled through a tunnel from Egypt.
Notice that it says, "disposed of" and not "destroyed".
In a looter-based economy such as that, you can easily guess how those goods were "disposed of".
I'm shocked... just shocked that there is corruption going on there...
They’ll sell it out the backdoor..
If you’d like to be on or off, please FR mail me.
