Government-led boycotts of Jewish businesses. Hmmm. Where have we heard of that kind of thing before?
Financial Times (h/t JihadWatch) The Biden administration is drawing up plans to require goods produced in Jewish areas of Judea & Samaria (aka the West Bank) to be clearly labelled as coming from there, according to US officials, another sign of White House unhappiness with the government of Benjamin Netanyahu.
The final go-ahead for the move, and its timing, have not been decided but it is intended to increase pressure on Israel over rising settler violence against Palestinians in the West Bank, and comes amid US frustration with the Jewish state’s conduct of the war in Gaza.
The move would reverse a policy introduced by the Donald Trump administration in 2020 that required goods produced in the West Bank to be labelled as “Made in Israel”….
JFeed Recall that until the Trump administration’s decision in 2020, it was forbidden in the US to define products from Jewish settlements as “made in Israel.” The Trump administration changed this, allowing Israel to label products from territories under Israeli control as “Made in Israel” like any other product.
The current step looks to cancel this policy and also exacerbate the one that preceded it. The US has already imposed sanctions against individual settlers accused of violence against Palestinians, but the current step constitutes a further deterioration in relations between the two countries and it now appears that the American administration is growing tired of Israel’s defensive actions following the Hamas murder spree on October 7th.
Biden is reportedly also upset about the building of several new residential areas in Judea and Samaria, as well as the Netanyahu coalition government’s decision to approve new housing construction in several existing Jewish neighborhoods there.

I buy as much of my stuff out of israel and i allways look for other companys that support the economy in Israel like dannon does. Idea, produce what it can in Israel and then make the mistake and stamp made in whatever. So the product gets sold and we can allways say oh the stamp was the wrong one sorry or so. One good thing on all the Israel hate is that we can see who is on our side and who is not so let us sort out the enemy.

This is insane! It will make it easier for us to support these Israeli companies, so I pray it will backfire on Biden. His father is Satan, and he’s a fake Catholic.
Bugsy278 says
I was just thinking the same. I will set out to buy products branded with the label.

I look forward to supporting Israel when I purchase Israel made items , Thanks Brandon ! And I do not like supporting Iran and Russia with higher fuel prices created by Hussein OBiden’s policies. ? Why do we support Israel’s enemies but we don’t support Israel ?? Good question for Hillary to ask Uma Aberdeen who now dates George Soro’s son.
Joe Archer says
Labels will enable my preferential purchasing of these items. Would be funny if plan increases their purchase

The US government has been hijacked by Islamists and loony leftists. It’s beyond the ordinary.

Az gal says
I would go out of my way to buy those products. I’m not surprised, tho. The Democrat agenda is anti Israel, even though they pretend like they’re not.
