EU:s hyckleri

Samtidigt som EU är för att bojkotten av Iran skall skall lyftas och handeln återupptas röstar EU parlamentet för att varor från Judéen och Samarien skall bojkottas. (525 för, 70 mot, 31 avstod)
Handel med en av Mellanösterns största sponsorer av terrorism är OK medan handel med Mellanöstern enda någotsånär fungerande demokrati skall begränsas. Det är dagens EU!
Israel är det enda land och de omstridda områdena Judéen och Samarien de enda områden som specialbehandlas på detta sätt av EU.

 
Labeling settlement products gets further push as European Parliament backs move(Jerusalem Post)
"Israel immediately slammed the move, with Foreign Ministry spokesman Emmanuel Nachshon saying that the move was a discriminatory one “that had the smell of a boycott.

“Under the cover of a technical move, this is an attempt to impose a diplomatic solution instead of encouraging the Palestinians to return to negotiations,” he said. “Europe acts toward Israel with sanctimonious hypocrisy, while it would never consider proposing a similar solution to northern Cyprus or Western Sahara.”

Israel protested against the settlement labeling move at a high-level strategic dialogue with the EU earlier this week, saying that the move unfairly singled out Israel, as similar product labeling action has not been taken in regard to other territorial conflicts around the world, such as the ones in Cyprus and Morocco.

Deputy Foreign Minister Tzipi Hotovely said it was necessary to “call the child by it’s name,” and that “labeling products is a boycott.”
