The US does not oppose the European Union's decision to label products as coming from Jewish West Bank settlements, the State Department said Tuesday.
"We do not view labeling the origin of products as being from the settlements a boycott of Israel. We also do not believe that labeling the origin of products is equivalent to a boycott," State Department Spokesman John Kirby said at a press briefing.
Kirby was also asked about the timing of US Ambassador to Israel Dan Shapiro's harsh criticism against Israel on Monday.

The list, Ping
Let me know if you would like to be on or off the ping list
How about a girlcott. Buy as much of this stuff as possible....
Wait a second .... wasn’t the “label of origin” law that the US started to track beef and other products declared illegal by the World Trade Organization?

Obama hates everything Jewish and celebrates everything that hurts Jews or Israel. Bigots like Obama disgust me.

You are a wise one, Master Yoda.
I’m surprised that Kirby, who I think was once an Admiral (whose navy, I’m not sure) has turned out to be such a wimp mouthpiece for Comrade Obama and his anti-Israel State Department and bunch of Red House Advisors.

God watches how they treat Israel....
and He has a pretty good memory, too....
I agree, I don't know whose Navy Kirby was in. Maybe he has always been an Obama butt boy. These days, it might be hard to make O-7 and above, without that dubious quality. I don't think there's any difference between him, and those three paid liars, otherwise known as white hut spokesmen.
