(European Jewish Press) Maureen Shamee - Germany rejects the recent decision of the EU to label Israeli products made beyond the Green Line, said Norbert Lammert, president of the Bundestag, the German parliament. "Germany not only didn't agree to the decision, it rejected it," he told a joint press conference with visiting Israeli Knesset Speaker Yuli Edelstein. He said he understood "Israel's anger" over the fact that the EU did not label products from other disputed territories in the world like Tibet, Crimea, or the Western Sahara. "Because it's specifically against Israel, I repeat that it is unnecessary and not very smart." Edelstein said the BDS movement acts under the pretense of humanitarian concern but is really motivated by "blind hatred" for Israel. He added that Palestinian workers would be the first to feel the brunt of measures like labeling settlement products. "Ironically, the boycott will actually bring about more damage to Palestinians," he said. 2015-12-04 00:00:00Full Article
