ttbn,
'Anti-Semite' is a word that has been used to denigrate anyone who holds criticism of Israel and barely has any power anymore.

The people that use it are so mentally retarded that they actually believe slagging someone off and saying they are aligned with Hitler is an acceptable response to genuine Israeli criticisms.

You stated "Europe, in its entirety, seems enamoured with National Socialism these days."

In case you didn't get the memo maybe you should look up your Jewish kin Mr George Soros and his Open Society Foundation and ask him whats going on in Europe.
If you're going to lay blame then maybe you should stop screaming anti-semite like an angry child and pay attention to what your own kind are doing.

Once again like I just said in another post.
Normal people think all this stuff is bad.
These guys have an agenda and think it is all good.

Yuyutsu,
IMO, Israel will never be a light unto any nation.
Israel is a nation built on conquest, theft, oppression, apartheid and murder.

"The decision to label products from the West Bank is not a step for consumer protection, but will lead to the creation of stigma against Israel..."

People have the right to A/ want to know where their products they buy come from; and B/ decide whether or not they want that product based on where it came from.

Israel should stop trying to control the whole damn world.

The question of whether Israel be stigmatised is not the issue.
Of course they will be, that's the damn aim of BDS which is a legal form of protest, one which the Jews themselves used against Hitler.

The real question is whether or not they deserve that stigmatization for the continued occupation of Palestine and treatment of Palestinians as political pawns.

I say they earned that criticism fair and square.

People that use the word anti-semite are also the same people that use the word Goyim. The real racists.

Hi Yuyutsu

Yes there is certainly much about Israel and its people, to like.

#Yuyutsu

You have lost the plot:

1. "For Israel to thrive and be a light unto the nations for ages to come, it needs to leave those cursed territories that it took in 1967."

Those "cursed territories" are the biblical and ancient homeland and heartland of the Jewish people known as Judea and Samaria by the whole world for 3000 years until 1950.

Those "cursed territories" were occupied by Jews until they were all driven out by the invading armies of six Arab States in 1948 and illegally occupied by Jordan until 1967. Jews had lived there prior to 1948 pursuant to the legal rights vested in them by article 6 of the Mandate for Palestine and article 80 of the United Nations Charter.

Jews have valid territorial claims in those "cursed territories" and 350000 Jews have exercised those rights up till now. The refusal of the PLO to accept the right of one single Jew living there in the future is one of the main stumbling blocks to any settlement of the Jewish-Arab conflict settlement.

What for you is the "cursed territories" is for these Jews "the land of milk and honey" as their spectacular agricultural successes and technological feats attest.

2.Oh my Yuyutsu you want to " convince Israel's leaders to return to Israel's good old borders and good old ways."

(a) There are no borders - only 1949 armistice lines. Do you understand the difference.

(b) What are "the good old ways"?
(i) the 1920 Arab riots?
(ii) the 1929 Hebron massacre of the Jewish population?
(iii) the Arab riots of 1936-1939?
(iv) The 1939 British White Paper?
(v) Closing the Suez Canal?
(vi)Closing the Straits of Tiran?
(vii) the Six Day War?

3."If racist discrimination is what it takes, then so be it and if so, then I would label them "discriminatory and racist in a good way".

What a load of piffle.

The European Union has been well and truly hoisted on its own petard - devoting more time to denigrating and delegitimising Israel than looking after its own backyard and borders.

Wake up Yuyutsu.

#Armchair Critic

Thanks for making your anti-Semitic (I prefer to call it "Jew-hatred") credentials quite clear. Wear that badge with the dishonour and condemnation it deserves.

You are up there in the big league with the European Union whose labeling laws for Jewish products originating from the West Bank (Judea and Samaria) disclose the three classic prerequisites for identifying anti-Semites:
1. Double standards
2. Denigration
3. Discrimination.

Within Europe alone there are territorial disputes involving territories between the following countries:
1. Spain-Portugal
2. Croatia - Serbia
3. Slovenia - Croatia
4. Bosnia and Herzegovina - Serbia
5. Macedonia - Greece - Bulgaria - Albania

Has the EU passed any labeling regulations for products issuing from these disputed territories so that -as you state -"People have the right to A/ want to know where their products they buy come from; and B/ decide whether or not they want that product based on where it came from."?

Whilst the European Union applies such double standards, discriminates in this fashion against Israel and denigrates the legal right of Jews to live in the West Bank (Judea and Samaria) then it too will display its soiled anti-Semitic underwear to public scrutiny.

French philosopher Bernard-Henri Levy warned the UN in January:
“a world in which once again Jews would become scapegoats for all people’s fears, would be a world in which the free could not breathe easy and in which the enslaved would be even more enslaved.”

Europe has still not learnt the lesson of where anti-semitism led it in World War 2 - neither have you.

Get off your Armchair and take a look at yourself in the mirror and see if you like the ugly face of Jew-hatred that confronts your very existence every waking day.

Even better - post your real name and address - so I will know how to label you if we ever meet.
