Jewish Groups Slam European Court's Ruling Mandating the Labeling of Israeli Settlement Goods
(Algemeiner) Karys Rhea - Major Jewish organizations responded with outrage on Tuesday over the decision by the European Court of Justice to mandate the labeling of goods produced in Israeli settlements. The Conference of Presidents of Major American Jewish Organizations called the European court's ruling "profoundly repugnant," asserting that "the singling out of Israeli products for labeling echoes some of the darkest periods in Jewish history. We hope that consumers will be wise enough to disregard it and continue to buy products from businesses that employ thousands of Palestinians every day."
