German Government Brands Goods Made in Factories That Are Owned by Jews
NY Sun ^ | 6/10/13 | Michael Freund

Posted on 06/10/2013 3:46:39 PM PDT by Nachum

In a throwback to its darkest past, the German government recently decided to back an initiative which singles out Jewish-owned businesses and targets them for detrimental treatment. Joining 13 other European Union members, Berlin has reportedly agreed to support efforts aimed at applying special labels of origin to products manufactured by Jewish owned factories in Judea and Samaria. The goal is to harm the livelihood of Jewish businessmen and entrepreneurs as a way of undermining the settlement enterprise. Needless to say, goods made by Palestinian-run plants in the territories will not similarly be branded.

Wait a second.
The Germans have enough to feel nervous about, but perhaps this is more a E.U. thing, with the Dutch, the Swiss, the Belgians, the Scandinavians, French Italians, etc., joining the "be nice to peace-loving muslims" party.

What are their plans?
Most important and relevant to me, are the U.K. and U.S. joining the party too?

can’t you block these kind of posts?

Why would you want to?

Perhaps there is a message there.
Has anyone bothered to ask...

Are any products made by the "Palestinian" koranimals imported into the U.S.?

Truth in packaging, baby.

My great uncle was 100% German and very proud of his race. He went to Europe with the goal of getting rid of as many Nazis as he could. He considered them an insult to Germany.

“I’m half German, & I have never felt genocidal urges”

I’m only one quarter German. All the arrogance has been bred out./s

I was stationed in Germany in 1981 & when we went to the field I was always called upon to talk to the Herr Forstmeister as we set up bivouac. But there were guys in my unit with German surnames whose German was much better than mine and they were really disappointed when the locals didn’t receive them as family. I tried to explain that this could have something to do with how nearby Frankfurt got flattened by the 8th US Air Force.

Sadly there is a lot more antisemitism in Germany now than there was in the 60’s & 70’s.

Thanks for that vignette. The one thing I wondered about, re: my German grandmother, was her silence re: her German heritage. She was fiercely Midwestern American. I wondered if perhaps aspersions came her way during WWII, & she subjugated her ethnic identity as a result. I wish I’d thought to ask her. But I did like the story of your great uncle. That is the way a true German patriot wd react, imho.

That is a very interesting story. One of the best nonfiction books I’ve ever read was written by an American woman who was living in Dresden at the time it was firebombed. I can’t recall the name of the book, unfortunately. It was the story of how she got herself & her three kids to safety. They came so close to not making it out alive, it wasn’t funny. The woman bore no grudge at all against the Americans who were even then trying to bomb the refugees. She knew it was all part of war, & she tried to do her part [to save her kids] while respecting the American pilots for doing their part at the same time.

Anyway, I just don’t get the German-antisemitic connection. I wish I cd grasp it. You’d think after the holocaust, they’d be doing everything humanly possible NOT to discriminate against Jews. Yet here they are, slipping back toward the mistakes of the past. It’s so troubling.

‘All the arrogance has been bred out./s’

Lol. All the stubbornness didn’t get bred out of me. I’m not as hardheaded as my German grandmother...but then she was in a class of her own. But stubbornness has an upside too. I stick to my guns, & also have a track record of finishing long, difficult projects. So for that I’m glad.

Do you think the Krauts will start WWIII? They’d be 3-0.

My grandmother was U.S. born German & the best Grandma anyone could hope to have. Grandpa was a Slovenian immigrant but nothing but English was ever spoken in their house.

Didn’t even know that stubbornness is a German trait but that could explain German determination in two World Wars.

In 1983 I attended the wedding of a U.S. retiree’s son to his German girlfriend. The wedding banquet at the local Feuerwehrhaus was lavish & also featured a special tribute to the bride’s Oma und Opa including poems read in their honor. A good time was had by all & as an American just trying to speak German, I was `family’. A side of Germany not often experienced.

So this is an EU agenda? I am not making excuses but the article does not represent this was a German idea. The issue seems to be much larger than Germany.

They have been trying to do this for at least a year now .
It’s not just Europe , South Africa was trying to do it also.

Europe’s liberal elite HATE the fact that the Jewish people are back in their land .They HATE it because the fact that they are back in their and the land is blossoming again proves the Bible is right and they are WRONG.

0 picking out plenty of people for high positions in this country with Euro backgrounds who think the same way .
Plenty of them are making rounds in our liberal churches with lots of propaganda to push this kind of thinking here .

This article focuses on Germany but the rot goes much deeper and there's enough shame and contempt to go around.

Which are the other 13 states?
I need to know. How can we find out?

I can't imagine anything I could possibly need or want that is manufactured in ANY of those miserable countries for the rest of my life!

According to statistics compiled by Israel’s Coordinator of Government Activities in the territories, more than 23,000 permits were granted to Palestinians to work in Jewish communities in Judea and Samaria in 2012. Many Palestinian Arabs can be found working for Israeli companies based in one of the nearly 20 industrial zones located throughout the area.

And as a recent foreign ministry report noted, nearly half of these Palestinian workers are between the ages of 18 and 29, which means that the Jewish settlements are a major source of employment and income for young Palestinians joining the workforce.

Moreover, their average daily pay is 88% higher than what their fellow Palestinians are making in the Palestinian-controlled areas. All told, their potential annual income, says the ministry, amounts to more than a quarter of a billion dollars.

I finally found one other source for this news:Report: Arabs, Not Jews, Worst-Hit by EU Labeling Scheme
Other than that, nothing.

I hope third time is not the charm for them. Poland needs to get prepared.
