enagers. That's what Israel "friends" are

ralph   (07.04.14)
4. The legal situation of the settlements
(07.04.14)
is quite blurry to say the least. Therefore a warning not to invest there makes sense if you don't want to risk losing your money - just from an economical point of view, besides all politics.
5. "We deserve it"
Michael ,   Haifa   (07.04.14)
..as the lady in the commercial for L'Oreal "ugly" products says
6. Simple solution
James ,   USA   (07.04.14)
No palestinian will be employed by Israeli firms in Judea and Sumerian and no tax revenues will be transferred to the PA. Revoke OSLO. Make it clear to the EU that they brought this on.
7. BDS all things israeli.
James   (07.04.14)
8. EU too busy bailing out.................
Ben S ,   Free world   (07.04.14)
EU too busy bailing out their own bankrupt countries. They have no money for investments anyway. The Israeli economy on the other hand is just fine. It's time for the EU to pay a surcharge on all tech products sent there from Israel. Let's see who cries first.
9. Europeans are being played like a violin
BH ,   Iowa   (07.04.14)
Their Jew-hatred is being exploited while their countries are being stolen right out from under them. Couldn't happen to a nicer bunch.
10. And yet no one has ever said "let's boycott Palestine"
barbara ,   Haifa Israel   (07.04.14)
11. Cheap excuses and not even ashamed!
tiki ,   belgium   (07.04.14)
"Tension because of the murder of three Israeli boys have led EU countries to advance their BDS". Now, there is a logic!
12. As for investing in Palestinian
Shalom ,   Jerusalem, Israel   (07.04.14)
industries, they do not need to warn against it because no one is going to waste money on it except EU officials propping up the Palestinian economy with taxpayer money.
13. Profits small Fear of Oil and Trade .
Zechariah   (07.05.14)
The money exported by the Settlements is not great and they employ Palestinians.Futher far worse Human Rights abuses occur :What about the Diamond and Jewellry Industry :Slave Labor from the Belgium Congo.
14. We can divest ourselves ...
Sarah B ,   U.S.A. / Israel   (07.06.14)
... of Arabs. Send them to Amsterdam, Paris, London, Munich, Berlin, Rome, Geneva, Zurich, Brussels, Antwerp, Oslo, Grimstad, Bergen, Helsinki, Stockholm, Malmo .... if they love them that much, they can live with them. And finally, Israel will have some peace and quiet. As to the "threat" of European divestment -- fine, go ahead. Israel will yank each and every license agreement with European firms, which will mean that there will not be a single smart phone, iPad, IPod, laptop, tablet or computer that can be sold without the company that sells it finding itself locked up in patent infringement cases for the next twenty years. Israel will not make available its medical advancements. If the European Union wants to play tough, they will be in for an EXTREMELY unpleasant surprise. Starting with 4.0 million Arabs. Europe can have our garbage any old time.
