1. It is legitimate
Jon ,   USA   (11.10.15)
First of all, Israel is not a Democracy anymore. It has quasi fascist government, a delusional and Holocost denier Prime minister, a cabinet made of convicted felon, a crazy defacto forign minister that want to set the middle east on fire, and a propaganda man that use fascist language.
2. Hotovely is 100% correct
Michael ,   Haifa   (11.10.15)
If Israel continues the policies advocated by the Hotovely woman, then "as far as we’re concerned, all of Israel faces the threat of boycott"
3. E.U. labelling is completely illegal and blatantly racist
Chaim ,   Israel   (11.10.15)
E.U. legal authorities have admitted labelling Judea and Samaria products is completely illegal. It is also blatantly racist. As MK Hotovely noted, there are dozens of land disputes. But the E.U. only engages in hostile actions when Jews are involved. Bottom line: The E.U. is in free fall. Israel is rising fast.
4. “a key ally and the only true democracy in the Middle East”
split ,... ,   US   (11.10.15)
No kiddin', these senators are making idiots of themselves ,...
5. Europeans can easly ignore USA congress critters
spyguy ,   seattle usa   (11.10.15)
Although USA congress critters think they are "powerful," the REALITY is they are not and they will simply be ignored by everyone outside the USA. Why are Israelis so delusional about USA power? After WW2, the USA may have been able to boss Europe around, but that is now more than two generations ago and the current generations not only ignore the USA but deeply resent the USA trying to boss them around. USA congress critters have almost as little influence in Europe as Tzipi Hotovely, who is completely ignored and in some cases laughed at.
6. Labelling
Marty ,   Toronto Canada   (11.10.15)
Do the EU label goods as being from Occupied Northern Cyprus or Tibet?
7. Thank you Senators, but beware:this is coming your way fast!
(11.10.15)
8. The settlements are illegal
(11.10.15)
EU, UNSC, parties to 4th Geneva Convention -- all regard the settlements as illegal. Period.
9. #3 - How is labeling "illegal?"
spyguy ,   seattle usa   (11.11.15)
There is nothing in either EU law or "international law" that prevents labeling by anyone nor is it "racist" for someone to not buy a product.
10. EU
max ,   Washington DC   (11.12.15)
The EU is rapidly declining both financially and morally so don't ask the American Taxpayer to bail you out as we have in the past!
11. Settlements
max ,   washington dc   (11.12.15)
BS!! All the Worlds Countries are based on "Settlements" are you saying they are all illegal or just Israels? If that's the case you a blatant anti-Semitic Racist!
