know what illegal is.! The global black economy they nurtured,the money stored by dictators,drug lords tax evaders and the money the Swiss stole during the Holocaust and denied. Swiss morals are for hire, they gave no problems with real illegality like Turkey or China or the occupation of Kurdistan.

If they were motivated by anything else they would not be selecting out Israel. Swiss had no problems inviting Ahmadinejad to dinner with their President. Some moral standards !

It's time for the Swiss to label their products. Swiss chocolate, Swiss army knives, and Swiss watches are frequently made abroad where the labor is cheap and the conditions terrible. They get packaged in Switzerland and given a Swiss made stamp. From now on all these products should be required to provide the actual place of origin.

did you know that the products of judea and samaria are only 1% of israeli exports to the eu? do you really believe that the loss of this 1% will make a dent in israel's market or profitability?israel has much more to offer europe than vegetables. it has the brains, the power tech and the r and d. moron. bds is not working. they are frustrated. it is not working. israeli exports to the eu and the usa have jumped almost 32% last year...and over 1,000% since 1967. hameed aboughaze, iranian

It's at least understandable to label products made in the West Bank, but ALL of Jerusalem is Israeli! There is no such thing as "East Jerusalem". Label all products made in Jerusalem "Made in Israel", and when the Euroweenies protest, tell them that they ARE made in Israel. This madness must stop!

Swiss businesses grew at the expense of Jews who were killed by neutral Swiss/Nazi collaboration.

Thank you Migros for this information. Now I will only buy products I need, that come from the settlements in your store and will buy other products I need in another supermarket.. my own sort of Boycott!!!

24: If israel really had a problem with such examples then why does it choose to still conduct its business with them? Money rules the world? I mean, look at Iran for example, it takes the initiative to refuse selling to some countries for their own personal reasons (regardless of the fact that the countries buy Iranian products and resell it to those banned countries of sale. #27: As you are totally oblivious of the situation of Arab citizens in 'israel', you should know that we dont receive all the benefits of 'citizenship' (a lot have or are allowed residency permits only), you are damn right some of us will use such language, and will continue to do so till policy changes. No need to go to Gaza nor Syria, as they are as comparable to israel for one. I can list more, but then my talkback would probably not be passed (IF this one ultimately will be) 30: hmm, seems that you havent been reading from the same history books as the rest of the world,sorry. It also seems that you are ignorant of events on the ground and reality in this region (I dont blame you since you are in the US). Its a shame that you talk of something you dont know about though and post. You are the one that needs to go back and freshen up, and I guarantee you that you wouldnt like what you read.

COOP is better. They give FREE bags. Migros do not.

It will be easier for me to recognize them, I will ONLY buy those labeled products and the rest I ill buy at the COOP! Thanks Migros

Good old "vee arr nuetrrall" Switzerland. This, from a country that does nothing productive to help the world, unlike Israel who is behind the world's technology for the betterment of all human beings. Sorry Switzerland, you're a pissant little useless country who know how to steal from dead people. Look at yourselves before allowing your people to judge others.

why single out the Jews? Why not label products that are produced in other disputed territories, like Chechnya, Kosovo, Western Sahara, Kashmir, South Ossetia, Abkhazia, Nagorno Karabakh, Basque lands, Southern Kuriles, Northern Ireland, Corsica, Northern Cyprus, Turkish occupied Kurdistan, Uighur lands. The Europeans claim they are not anti-semites and not singling out Israel, but their actions show otherwise!

Who cares about europe anyway? They can boycott what they like. Jews, Israelis and any decent person can boycott the boycotters. boycott is a double edged sword. The future is Asia, where Jews and Israel are respected items. Europe, yes purchase all the euros you can.

you're an ignorant, whom no one will be able to teach the right history. Make sure, in the Koran Jerusalem is mentioned, then you can claim it's a wholy city for the moselms

Why all the fuzz about labelling the products. Israel itselfs doesn't recognize the West Bank to be part of Israel itself. So why should Switzerland????? If Israel had the guts to decide on the matter.....but it doesn't Israel doesn't want to annex the West Bank (1-state solution), and Israel doesn't want to relinquish the West Bank (2-state solution). Israel likes that ambiguity.

You cannot compare the West Bank to other disputed territories: Tibet, Kosovo, Kashmir,..... The difference is that China wants Tibet to be Chinese, with all of its citizens in it. The Indians and Pakistanes wants all of Kashmir with all its citizens. ... ... Only Israel would want a West Bank but without the palestinians in it, or at least Israel doesn't want to officially annex the West Bank. And most its citizens are permanent 2nd rank citizens.

You are wrong! Tibet, unlike the mythical people and country of "palestine" was an entirely independent nation between the World Wars and had a thousand year history (At least) of independent NATIONAL culture and State!! It is NOT part of China! Also, The ethnic Han Chinese are actively colonizing Tibet- which was NEVER ancestral Han land, persecuting the Tibetan religion, and even carrying out forced abortions! Israel is NOT doing ANY of that nor does it want the ersatz "palestinians" in Area A/B of the West Bank- it wants Area C where les than 1% of the Arabs live! Aside from that, Samaria and Judea have a clear historical Jewish claim, whereas China had NO such claim on Tibet!!

hehehe, funny that you mention that. It has nothing to do about history and the Hans,,,,, I have been in Tibet, talked to many tibetans there. And I am in favor of their cause. Yes there were abortions, massacres,... But it doesn't change the fact that China has annexed Tibet. Israel didn't annex any area (a,b,c..). It doesnt want only Area C. Israel Area C + military control of the border + control of the airspace, no contiguous palestinian land,.... A Tibetan, can if he wants to, go and live in Beijing. Can a palestinian from Ramallah live in Tel Aviv?

I think it was last year, Holocaust denier Mahmoud Abbas and the foreign-funded radical group "shalom achshav" published a list of products made by the Jews of Judea and Samaria that included Tara dairies. The only one who suffered was Tnuva when consumers started buyingTara products

fyi arabs receive more and better benefits then jew, based on productivity(welfare cases). So either you're lying or ignorant and don't live in Israel at all. I would personnally like to see all of these parasite go back to the countries of origin ie syria, egypt, saudi etc.

so what are you trying to say. genius! Oh, we just don't want them there killing people, or is that not good for you? if your name really is Yaron. mgfr.

Switzerland’s largest supermarket chain, Migros, declared that they will begin to mark the origin of goods coming from Israel. This includes some intriguing facts, including the specific mention of “Gaza, Israeli settlement area”. The new Migros action is clearly discriminatory. Their inclusion of “Gaza, Israeli settlement area” clearly demonstrates that Migros have been misled by political manipulation. Since September 2005 there are no Israeli settlements in the Gaza strip. All 21 civilian settlements and military installations and all Israeli soldiers in Gaza have been removed in the “disengagement” of 2005. But that has probably has escaped Migros. Since Migros wants to ensure transparency to it’s customers, certainly they will also declare additional items, such as goods from Syria, Turkey (with the oppressed Kurds), from occupied northern Cyprus, occupied Tibet, occupied Kashmir, China (where workers toil for low wages) and other problem areas.

Yes they are Arabs in TLV, Christians too, so???? A palestinian from the West Bank cannot come and live in TLV. But that is not subject. Apparently most of the people here, are against labelling products and saying there are coming from the West Bank and not from Israel. Which is the plain truth. If Israel and Israelis wants the West Bank to be Israel, and declare it so. It is the same discussion as labelling genetically modified vegetables and meat. Customers wants to know it, so that they can make their choice, companies and producers in that business are against it. If you are so sure about the correct ethical decision in that case: proclaim it so. But you don't, your arguments are: There are worse people, they are anti-semites,...swiss are nazis I am jewish, Israeli, and I don't wish to buy product from the settlements, and don't want an University in Ariel,...

The ‘problem is they HAVE read international law and the Geneva conventions; the REAL ones. It is those who say that the blockade was illegal, especially in international waters, and that gaza and the WB are ‘occupied’ and not the true definition; occupied territories, who are reading with their eyes closed. You wouldn’t be one of those reading with your eyes closed so that you will only 'see' what agrees with your wishful thinking, would you?

Your post is laughable at best. You repeat the mantra of a fictitious history. Keep your eyes closed. You couldn’t stand to see how ludicrous are your fairy tales.

If, as you say (and you are correct) the WB is not part of Israel, why should a Palestinian be allowed to live in TLV?
