Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu on Thursday likened the EU parliament’s motion to label products from Jewish settlements to the Nazi era.

“We remember history and we remember what happened when the products of Jews were labelled in Europe,” the premier said in a statement issued by his office.

In April, France and 15 other European Union countries urged the bloc to clearly label products sold in member countries that originated in Israeli settlements in the Palestinian territories and annexed east Jerusalem and the Golan Heights, all occupied by Israel in the 1967 Six Day War.

“This is unjust. It’s a distortion of justice and of logic, not to mention that it does not advance peace,” said Netanyahu.

Tzipi Hotovly, Israel’s deputy foreign minister, said the Jewish state would not accept “discrimination” between goods produced in different parts of its territory.

“Labelling of products amounts to a boycott,” she said, hours after the European parliament voted in favour of a non-binding resolution to label products from Jewish settlements.

The EU has consistently condemned Israeli settlement building as a threat to the Middle East peace process through eroding the basis for a future Palestinian state.

  2. Hilarious. Even with the labeling people will still buy Israeli products and Gaza will still be a hole.

    1. 57,000 Falestinian workers have a permit to work in Israel, about 27,000 people work in the “settlements”. Taking into account the illegal immigrants, more than 100,000 families can live with dignity. Thus, in the Falestinian economy joins 4-5 billion shekels a year
      Let’s say, tomorrow it will disappear – as claimed Hamas and Abbas. Can they provide an alternative source of income to 100,000 families? To find these billions of shekels poured into the Falsetinian economy each year? Not a chance

    Boycott is working! Now we need sanctions against the state of Israel until the settlements are dismantled.
