Greenblatt: A hypocritical and political decision

“A hypocritical/political decision! So-called ‘settlements’ are actually cities & neighborhoods; nonsense to pretend otherwise. Peace will only come-if at all-via direct negotiations. This decision harms prospects for peace & ultimately hurts Palestinians,” said Greenblatt.

Israel’s foreign ministry said earlier it “strongly rejects” the EU court’s ruling, decrying a "double standard".

The secretary general of the Palestine Liberation Organization, Saeb Erekat, welcomed the ruling.

"We welcome the decision of the European Court of Justice and call upon all European countries to implement what is a legal and political obligation," said Erekat.

“Settlement” = any place where Jews live. Cf “Pale of Settlement”.

The EU is only too eager to sell their beer, candy and beauty products to us “settlers”. Apparently, they have no problem taking our money.

While there are still many good honest people in Europe, we must remember that Brussels was never de-Nazified. The EUroNazis (4th Reich) just keeps OUTING itself ... but fortunately it cannot tell Jewish People where they may or many not live, or..worse, whether they may or may not live.
No more. No mas. all the Nazis can do is fulminate and smear and pout.

Why not just make them put the Star of David on it to make your Nazism complete?

In that case, all halal food in Europe should be clearly labeled so that people concerned about cruelty to animals can make an informed decision.

Who would think Europe could be hypocritical in their actions toward Jews. Should be the worst thing. My guess most people who would boycott produce from the "settlements" wouldn't buy an Israeli product anyway. Related threads

As long as they are putting the labels on for informational purposes, it’s possible to turn the malicious intent on its head. Support the girl-cott. Buy to defy.
