US Post Offices Reportedly Refusing Mail to Israel
Arutz Sheva ^ | 8-14-14 | Ari Yashar

The Anti-Defamation League (ADL) has written to complain to the US Postmaster General, after receiving widespread reports that US post offices around America have been refusing to accept mail to Israel.

In the last several days ADL reports that it has received complaints from Massachusetts, Michigan and New Jersey, revealing postal customers were incorrectly told that the US Postal Service is not accepting mail for Israel due to Operation Protective Edge in Gaza.

"The postal employees have told these individuals that current USPS policy says that mail to Israel cannot be accepted because of the current crisis,” said Abraham H. Foxman, ADL National Director.

Foxman added that "only once employees sought clarification from supervisors in Washington did these post offices accept packages and letters to Israel."

Muslim employees, if I had to hazard a guess. Michigan and NJ, definite Muslim hotspots. MA has its liberal anti-semitics. Ready to jump on any excuse.

At least the employees refused the mail rather than circular-filing it.

All the more reason for “email” and the elimination of the postal service.

For awhile hatred for Israel has been escalating. It’s becoming endemic now.

Or more union B.S. They are fighting a number of passive-aggressive rear guard actions in response to USPS’ decision to allow Staples stores to offer postal services.

More than 25 years ago, when I tried to mail a package to my family, I was told by the mail worker I could not write “ROC” on the package.

I was so ashamed at that time, no fault of mine and I’m the paying customer. And the incident bothered me all these years.

Now if it happens to me again, I would demand his name and would insist on talking to his supervisor, or branch manager.

Not delivering the mail isn’t likely to bolster support for their position, is it?

Unreliable service is why important business and legal documents are often sent FedEx or UPS instead of thru the USPS.

Automatic grounds for dismissal is bias to deliver mail.

We need a CEO in WH who believes in fair dealing.

Henchman Holder supports bias

ROC = Republic of China, as in Taiwan?

I find it annoying that even during the Olympics, the team from Taiwan isn’t allowed to carry their country’s flag.

Instead, they carry a flag with the Olympic rings and they have to call themselves “Chinese - Taipei” or some such thing.

You’re probably right about muzzy postal workers spreading this hooey. As upside down as this country has suddenly become, I don’t see the post office turning away profits.

>>> as in Taiwan?

Yes.

I just came over to the States, in my first year as a graduate student, and didn’t know better.

The USPO needs to go into bankruptcy, re-organize into an efficient company, restructure wage/salary schedules, remove the labor union, etc. The job can be done, but as it now exists.

Satan

Its happening all over the planet.

Even if you don't believe in God, you can't come to any other conclusion but that there are spiritual forces of darkness at work moving forward a very evil agenda.

It is almost as if we are living in a Lord of the Rings novel.

I fear the Post Office - like the IRS and VA - have decided they're GODS above us and work for the corrupt democrat party...

It's time to replace the IRS and post office with 'better ideas' and give vouchers to vets. Enough is enough.

This sounds like one of the sneaky, underhanded things that the Obamanites like to do, like operation check point, fast and furious, etc. ad nauseum.

It only lasts as long as it is “below the radar”, then they act shocked, shocked! that such things were happening.
