1. Blackmail and threats
Sarah B ,   U.S.A. / Israel   (12.03.13)
Is that the best the European Union can do? So 14 out of 28 countries are in favor of banning settlement products. Fine! Israeli technology and medical companies should take a good long look at licensing agreements in place with these 14 countries. They can kiss their mobile phones, desktops, laptops, notebooks and tablets good-bye. And that's just for starters.
2. Only 14? Only the West Bank? [end]

5. Lol
Gallula ,   Paris   (12.03.13)
Ash (ton) of garbage (: in her ugly head...
6. We Can Live With That
Yishai Kohen ,   YeShA, Israel   (12.03.13)
But we cannot and will not live with a Judenrein jihadist terror state in OUR land.
7. #1, How old are you ??

8. slowly but surely
Michael ,   Haifa   (12.03.13)
a price is going to be paid for land theft
9. LOL no1!!!! Are you being funny?
(12.03.13)
Dream on!!!
10. trade wars: a 2-way street
Bluegrass Picker ,   Afula   (12.03.13)
it will not be difficult to incite boycotts against EU goods. Let the EU's survive by selling off their daughters. This actually was common in Europe during the 1100-1300 era. Not widely discussed, but true.
11. Eu should fund a face lift for Ashton..
Ivan ,   South Africa   (12.03.13)
12. About time EU put some responsibility on Pals.
Sam ,   Canada   (12.03.13)
It's about time the EU pressured the Palestinians to make a deal. The Palestinians have been taking the EU for a bunch of idiots who could be talked into anything. They are still hoping the EU will boycott not just the West Bank but Israel too. The EU needs to make clear it supports a Jewish majority Israel if it hopes to get anywhere with the Palestinians.
13. # 2 And why should Israel be boycotted at all to begin with?
(12.03.13)
14. #1 Sarah B., you're funny (kind of)
Mark B. ,   Amsterdam / Holland   (12.03.13)
Forgive me for not realising that Microsoft, Apple, Nokia, Samsung, HP and many others (including new Chinese companies) in fact are all Israeli companies. May I advise you that bragging and bluffing must have some ground in reality in order not to be pathetic (remember Bagdad Bob).
15. EU boycott of Israeli "settlements"
Alexander ,   Tel Aviv, Israel   (12.03.13)
If the EU boycotts Israeli "settlements" (legal Israeli/Jewish cities in our historical and ancestral homeland), then Israel should boycott ALL European interference with Israel's relations with its Arab neighbors including the Arabs of Judea, Samaria and Gaza. Israel should boycott EU presence in Jerusalem, Judea, Samaria and Gaza, Israel shouldn't allow the EU to even enter or meet with the Arabs in Judea and Samaria and Gaza, and Israel should not allow any European financial "aid" to the Arabs of Judea, Samaria and Gaza, and if the EU does send "aid" to them, Israel needs to confiscate it. Israel shouldn't allow the EU to send trucks, personnel, "medicine", building materials, "food" or "essentials" or even an atom or a quark to Gaza, Judea and Samaria. All EU funded structures in Gaza, Judea and Samaria will be razed to the ground. Israel should refuse to even negotiate with the Arabs on anything as long as the EU is even remotely involved in the negotiations.
16. Don' t mess with us. Europe is already dead !
(12.03.13)
17. UK & France are hypocrites, boycott all products from them!
Scott ,   Ramat Gan   (12.03.13)
The UK occupies N. Ireland & France occupies Basque Homeland., Products from these territories should be boycotted as well. In contrast, Israel is not "occupying" Judea or Samaria since the last sovereign they have never been part of any nation except Israel (Jordan did not annex the territories when they controlled them for 19 years & have given up all claims to the land).
18. But...
milwaukeebroad ,   Haifa, Israel   (12.03.13)
...what exactly is being made in the settlements? Anything?
19. EU = IV REICH

20. To 14 : Holland is already a muslim nation You make me laugh
(12.03.13)
21. #12, 6M Jews, 9M Palestinians, not a Jewish majority, simple
Steve Benassi ,   Silver Bay, MN USA   (12.03.13)
...math.
22. #20: reality check
Esther ,   Amsterdam   (12.04.13)
About 5% of the population of the Netherlands is muslim. For Israel, this percentage is around 17% (not counting christian Arabs).
23. steve , your numbers are wrong
israeli paratrooper   (12.04.13)
dear steve , while the number of jews in israel is indeed 6 million ( actually more like 6.3 if the semi jews are considered ) , your estimate of palestinians is wide off the mark . according to the best reliable estimates , pals on the west bank are 1.8, gaza 1.5 , inside israel 1.5 ;giving a total of 4.8 million . please don't go into the number of palestinian disapora which palestinians put at 5 million . if we consider only 0.7 left in 1948 and assume that they double every 20 years , their number should be about 3.5 at most . so jews in israel will be just fine .
24. ban
mike ,   uk   (12.04.13)
good them ban, label, identify etc all products from these settlement. Half million settlers ransoming the rest of Israel. You will have to learn the hard way, build, build, build an economic boycott has started.
25. Iran's nuclear deal and now this...
mark schroeder ,   germany   (12.04.13)
Netenyahu is moving from one victory to another... Israel is fast becoming the pariah state that it really is.
26. 24
(12.04.13)
miki mouse, Israel will survive, and wait till UK comes under Sharia law. No more X'mas, no alcohol, no bacon eggs and baked beans English breakfast
27. To: No. 3
Sarah B ,   U.S.A. / Israel   (12.04.13)
Hardly. One State of Israel, including Judea and Samaria. The illegal Arab squatters therein will be repatriated to Jordan, country of their citizenship. Or, if they prefer, Gaza. But not within Israel's borders.
28. Judging from the Iranian comedy, it'll do us only GOOD!
tom ,   tel aviv   (12.04.13)
29. #1 Oh Sarah!
The Kibitzer ,   Adelaide, Australia   (12.04.13)
Darling, you do say some ludicrous things. Israel has invented nothing much of importance so please stop getting your Marks & Spensers knickers in a twist. Just have a cup of tea and a good lay down until the migraine passes. XXX
30. #13 Because we only respect actions. [end]
