Britain, Denmark, and now Belgium follow in the footsteps of the Nazis who called for boycotts of Jewish-owned shops in Germany at the beginning of the National Socialist regime. “We don’t see this as a sanction against Israel,” said a Belgian spokeswoman, but of course that is exactly what it is: a notice that the product comes from Israeli settlements, so that Leftists and Islamic supremacists can enforce their boycotts.
“Belgium calls for clear labelling of goods from Israeli settlements,” Reuters, July 29, 2014 (thanks to Twostellas):
Belgium has advised retailers to label clearly the origin of products made in Israeli settlements that are in occupied Palestinian territories.
The non-binding recommendation has nothing to do with the escalating conflict between Israel and Palestinian militants in the Gaza Strip, the economics ministry said, noting that Britain and Denmark already had similar labelling guidelines in place.
“It’s a non-binding advice to state on labels that products originating from occupied territories come from there,” a spokeswoman said. “We don’t see this as a sanction against Israel, but EU rules stipulate that consumers have to be informed of the origins of products.”…
Peter Buckley says
The irony here is that these companies employ a large number of Palestinians,
so any boycott will hurt the most……….Palestinians.
Raymond Cameron says
When will the EU order that halal meat be labelled as halal so that customers are informed of the origin of the products?
As for products from Israel all friends of Israel will be glad to see them labelled so they know what to buy.
Keith says
I agree but that would be classed as Islamophobic
Ferris says
Amen to that sister!
Angemon says
Really? EU rules stipulating that the origin of products must be made clear isn’t the same as “non-binding advice to state on labels that products originating from occupied territories come from there”.
jewdog says
No more Belgian products for me. I don’t like white beer anyway.
By the way, how do they determine where a settlement is? The borders are irregular and are disputed.
Belgium is encouraging the Muslims it has admitted to attack Jews, which is probably what they want.
Dee Harris says
I’m with you Belgium products off my list. Snake tonges
Mark N says
No more Belgian chocolates for me. (Heavy sigh)
bonnie loranger says
I am from Belgium and believe me the Muslims do not need encouragement to attack Jews. With the mounting number of Muslims in the country this will get worse. I now live in the USA in its coming here too. With what’s happening in the world today with the rise of Islam again these Muslim Belgians feel empowered. To me they are only Belgian paper. They are not integrated. Of course the left loves them just like in the USA. The left is stupid because the Muslims will attacked them too.I am not an anti Semite and I am pro Israel.
Beagle says
I tried to find a catalog of products from the ‘settlements’ to purchase some, but after three pages of divestment and boycott articles I gave up. I am decent at narrowing Boolean searches, unless the search term deck is stacked unfairly against a particular viewpoint. Talking about you, Yahoo.
Mirren10 says
Three things here.
One, the utter cynical hypocrisy of : ”
EU rules stipulate that consumers have to be informed of the origins of products.”
This, when a large percentage of meat sold in the EU is **halal**, and not labelled as such. Which is why the only time my poor husband gets lamb or beef, is when our farmer friend on the Welsh Marches sends us some, from his own herds, slaughtered on **his** premises, with nary a disgusting old imam in sight.
Second, one can look at this as an opportunity to deliberately make the choice to **buy Israeli** ! I always look for Israeli products when shopping, and make a point of buying them.
” … a notice that the product comes from Israeli settlements, so that Leftists and Islamic supremacists can enforce their boycotts.”
I’d like to see the leftist or Islamic supremacist who could make **me** boycott Israeli products.
Thirdly, everyone should visit the ‘BDS’ facebook page, and make a point of thanking them profusely for identifying Israeli products, as it makes purchasing them **so** much easier. They’ll delete your posts, of course, but it will annoy them **no** end ! 🙂
mary_gonzales says
The most success brainwashed in EU..I think more will come to follow..lol.. Even palestinian loves israel goods..
and these empty brain people think the palestinian and muslims world will love them just for doing that ugly boycott. Once you boycott israel, you already boycott both of them
Stay calm and relax.. when you shout jews-hatred everywhere, nobody will call you a racist.
richard.sherman says
The people of Belgium should learn some history. The last group of Belgium citizens who collaborated with fascist antisemites were fed alive to dogs at Fort Breendonk in 1944. That fate awaits all those who voted for this resolution.
islamisdeath says
Will they also be labeling barbarically, ritual murdered halal meat also?
Alex says
That is ridiculous! European governments are obviously JEWPHOBIC! Shall we all start using this term? After all, muslims accuse us of being islamophobic every single time we talk about peace, gender equality, children’s right not to be raped, women’s right not to have their genitals mutilated etc.
citycat says
bowing to the islamic bully voluntarily is despicable

Pervomaiski says
It’s not the companies themselves who want to do this, but rather a socialist member of Parliament plus Pax Christi International, believe it or not !
No dhimmi says
Good. So i can focus on buying israeli goods before eu ones. Thanks little dictatorship!
John Torkildsen says
No Belgian tasty chocolate treats for me then.
I here by boycott Belgium…
(although I will not miss the spinach my wife makes me eat)
joeb says
Next, it will be the clear labelling of Jews themselves in Europe…haven’t we seen that before?
Richie says
Muslims and Nazis both adhered to a homicidal world view, were fascists and put little value on human life. The only real difference between the two, other than muslims killing a much larger number of people, was that Nazis used toilet paper. Other than that, both are death cults
Dave Benfield says
That helps me to be able to choose more of it!
lebel says
Shouldn’t consumers have a right to buy whichever products they choose? Is it not fair to label halal food as such so that non-Muslims can have a choice about eating it? Whats the difference here, what if I don’t want to buy goods produced in the occupied territories?
“No, its different because Islam is evil and Israel is good, you disgusting sekrit Muslim!” is the answer I am expecting
islamforbids.com says
I would never hesitate to by an Israeli product But alway look for an alternative to the Dhimmi states .Can we get labels for gasoline ? The sword cuts 2 ways .
john van Vliet says
We see the same what happen when Hitler took control, the only difference is that islam will take control in Europe this time, there is no difference between the first and the latter in ideology…..
Wait till Islam start to enforce sharia law and subdues the Europeans force them to bow to allah, the demon god, Then all hell will break losse……. but then it will be to late and islam will be more brutal then Hitler ever was…..
Mark N says
The argument can be made that Islam is already more brutal than Hitler was. Hitler imprisoned millions of men women and children, and killed them enmass. Muslims mutilate girls with FGM, hands are cut off of accused-not necessarily convicted- thieves, schoolgirls burned to death in a school on fire because they didn’t have their head covered to go outside. The list goes on and on. All because their “Prophet of Peace” claims that this is what Allah wants.
Jack says
When they start stoning women for infidelity and Men can legally marry 9 year old girls and leave their wife for any reason we’ll hear from the Belgians whining and crying as to why they let this happen to them. Wake up people
L karp says
Why don’t you all look and see what the Jews have developed and boycott these items as well
But start with your phone, voice mail, and then all the medical procedures you should not have as well as medication then see what is left of your life
Sarah L Nield says
I didn’t know that about Britain.
But then I always search for Product of Israel in the shops, and if I find it, whatever it is, I purposefully buy it, and make it clear to the owner or manager or someone on the checkout if it’s a large store why I am buying the product.
