Product Labeling: The EU Leads Boldly on Israeli-Palestinian Peace
(American Enterprise Institute) Danielle Pletka - The European Union in its infinite wisdom decided to implement a demand that all products made in Israeli settlements in the West Bank be labeled. I can think of no better way to advance peace between Israelis and Palestinians than this important labeling initiative. But what I don't understand is: Why stop there? Consider: Spanish-occupied Catalunya, Indian-occupied Kashmir, Turkish-occupied Cyprus, Syrian-occupied Alexandretta, Armenian-occupied Nagorno Karabakh, Russian-occupied Crimea, Chinese-occupied Tibet, South Korean-occupied Korea, Chinese-occupied Scarborough Shoal, UK-occupied Gibraltar, and UK-occupied Falklands. What, you say, there are no Jews occupying those other places? We only condemn the Jews? Only the Jews are especially worthy of EU condemnation?
