31. Fortunately EU does have ...
David Fakheri ,   LA CA   (09.07.12)
Fortunately E U dose have enough time now to attend the israeli-Palestinian problems after it already stopped the brutal and ruthless killing of the innocent Iranians and Syrians by their own governments
32. Parazite greeks
Istvan ,   BUDAPEST HUNGARY   (09.07.12)
try to compensate their economic failures with this boycott. Just like if a deaf man want to prohibit speaking for everyone.
33. Israel has 17,7 % muslim population, Europa 5,1%
EU   (09.07.12)
34. #21 Really?
M. Ahmadinedschad ,   Iran   (09.07.12)
And boycotts against Iran? Are they also fascist?
35. Hello
Gregg ,   Haifa IL   (09.07.12)
All my Israeli and European friends and I have been boycotting products from settlements for a very long time already! I even tell to my European friends which Products are manufactured in the illegal settlements
36. No 5 Eyal USA
LION OF JUDAH   (09.07.12)
You are 100% right.Israel should annex WB and to tell the Europeans wimps, that Jews are not under your feet and to mind their own business.
37. Michal #7, Weird as it is
observer ,   Egypt   (09.07.12)
in 2006, West Bank Palestinians asked Nasrallah to fire rockets at them.
38. What are they burning?
DavidR ,   USA   (09.07.12)
I would bet that they are burning empty packaging after using the superior Israeli products!
39. Challenge the Greeks to openly endorse the settlements
Solomon2 ,   D.C.   (09.07.12)
Since under international law "close settlement" of Mandate Palestine by Jews is called for, as long as the civil and property rights of Arabs are respected. The settlements built on purchased or state land are thus perfectly legal.

Harold ,   USA   (09.07.12)
Pravo for an excellent and balanced comment. I hope Lieberman says the same.
41. #4
Harold ,   USA   (09.07.12)
True it is not enough. Europe and the whole world should stop importing and dealing with Israel unless it goes back to the 1967 borders.
42. Europe is a JOKE
Universal Citizen ,   The World   (09.07.12)
I am European (TO MY DISMAY) Europeans may have been the smartest race on this planet ..they brought us all that is civilized...HOWEVER they became stupid (evolution for them is going backwards) pity...now after eating unhealthy foods..their minds rot in the stratospheric level... (I also bet YNET wont post this!) when will the Europeans vanish! :)
43. With apologies to G. Stein Occupation is
miki ,   tampa   (09.07.12)
44. I very much hope, that Greek will go down
Chris Rettenmoser ,   Bayerisch Gmain Germ   (09.07.12)
the gutter...!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
45. "Greeks"
Simon ,   Chatsworth, USA   (09.07.12)
Look at all the "Greek" ladies wearing hijabs at the back of the photo. These aren't Greeks, they're just Arabs. If Europe really boycotted Israel, I guess Israeli Computer Technology would have to become much more expensive to operate in EU Territory.
46. #19 Michelle: Well said!
David ,   Karmiel, Israel   (09.07.12)
Greece is BROKE! They are begging the EU for money but the have the time to worry about the "poor Palestinians" who leech of Israel and are nothing but a pseudo "nation"! Actually, I would like nothing more than giving these murderers of little children their own state and get them out of Israel. Palestinians should be prohibited from working in Israel and their jobs should be given to those who have over-stayed the welcome because their visas have expired and now are illegals!
47. #4 graczek,, #12 Ken, 41 Harold
Anna ,   Montreal, Canada   (09.08.12)
Gentlemen, by reading Israeli website and participating in its blog you are contradicting yourself.There are many Israelis from Yehuda and Shomron area are writing here. Please, give us an example, ignore Israeli websites.
48. Thats why the EU is going down the drain......
eli   (09.08.12)
the EU is acting antisemitic : Jehuda & Shomron + the socalled westbank) is historical heartland of Israel. Denying this is antisemitism and has therefore its price which the EU ( Greece first ) is paying already. The boycott is part of the global muslim fight to destroy the jewish nation first - the western world second. Also part of this muslim antisemitic fight is the lie of the socalled ''palestinian people''' : its the lie of the century , invented by arch terrorist Arafat with again the goal to destroy Israel. There was never a people / nation of socalled '' Palestine'', its one big lie ! As Goebbels said : Make the lie big enough, then people gonna buy it !
49. EU mulling ban on settlement products
Louk ,   Breda,Holland   (09.08.12)
I just bought an Adi watch from the westbank,nothing wrong with it!
50. Judea & Samaria Goods
Glenn ,   Santa Monica, USA   (09.08.12)
I go out of my way to support these communities. I will make sure to double my purchases. Thanks for the nudge.
51. #41 Current settlements are NOT a problem
Alex   (09.07.12)
Oh, my... I see you're a victim of palestinian hate mongering. Israel offered the palestinians a state consisting of 99.3% of the 1967 borders back in 2005 which included land swaps. Israel would keep the settlements and in return the palestinians would receive Israeli land. But the palestinians naturally refused, the reason is simple: they don't want an own state next to a Jewish state, they want it ALL. The current settlements are NO issue, they will remain Israeli no matter what. I'm however opposed to any settlement expansion, and I'd consider boycotting illegal settlers. Any Israeli thinking all settlements should be evacuated are soul less traitors, because this would leave 300 000 people homeless. That, in the Judenrein palestinian state is apartheid.
52. 2
Rosie   (09.07.12)
"Our borders end in the Green Line." Oh really? Why not 1948 borders, which all Arab countries fought with all their might?
53. Be honest. Label Israeli products with a yellow star.
BH ,   Iowa   (09.08.12)
Savages.
54. OBAMA PROMOTING BOYCOTT WITH EU.
BUTSeriously ,   Sydney   (09.08.12)
Obama fostering boycott of Israeli products with EU to promote '67 borders.
55. Boycott Israel
Leib ,   Jew city   (09.08.12)
Yes u should boycott your own country not only that you must move out off my country the land of Israel go live in the Arab countries then you my call me and tell me how much u like it
56. If They Are Thinking About It Now .....
World Citizen ,   the world   (09.08.12)
Think What Will Happen When Israel Starts The next War. Really.... Israel has used up every ounce of sympathy it ever accrued. The Europeans, the Americans, the whole Muslim world and just about everyone else has had it up to here with Israeli threats and whining. It's time for an Israeli attitude reajustment. Think about it.
57. ban on settlements
Brent Iden ,   Colorado Springs, US   (09.08.12)
We can get personal with this. How about a ban on products made in any European country that decides to put a ban on Israeli products. Europe or more specifically Greece shouldn't be stretching their necks too far right now.
58. #2 Kobi - before you start the boycott
BEN JABO (MACHAL) ,   ISRAEL   (09.08.12)
Make sure you have jobs for the Arabs that will lose them
59. #4 graczek -U.S. has high Unemployment
BEN JABO (MACHAL) ,   ISRAEL   (09.08.12)
How many of the Arabs that will lose their jobs, are you willing to hire Same goes for the EU, they'll do things when there is no expense to themselves involved
60. #35 Gregg (Haifa Arab)
BEN JABO (MACHAL) ,   ISRAEL   (09.08.12)
You tell your friends, how many of those that have lost or will lose their jobs are you or your friends going to hire ?? Better yet, how many of the unemployed are you going to feed & house in your Villa?
