Yesterday, the European Union in its infinite wisdom decided to implement a demand that all products made in Israeli settlement the West Bank and Gaza be labeled. CNN explains:
Labeling such goods as “product from Golan Heights” or “product from West Bank” would not be specific enough and therefore would not be acceptable, the commission said. Instead, the goods would have to be labeled something along the lines of “product from the Golan Heights (Israeli settlement)” or “product from West Bank (Israeli settlement),” the commission said.
This is a brilliant idea, like so many emanating from Brussels. I can think of no better way to advance the peace between the Israelis and the Palestinians than this important labeling initiative.

But what I don’t understand is: Why stop there? There are so many problems that could be solved by taking a bold labeling stand. 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
- Mongolian occupied Mongolia
- Chinese occupied Scarborough Shoal
- UK occupied Gibraltar
- UK occupied Falklands
There are many, many more. And I am simply amazed that we have not seen the path towards peace in each of these, and the umptillion other territorial disputes out there.
What, you say, but there are no Jews occupying those other places? We only condemn the Jews? Well, of course. Because only the Jews are especially worthy of EU condemnation. Next, a yellow star. Now that would be bold.
