U.S. House and Senate Denounce EU on

Labeling Judea and Samaria Products

On Wednesday November 11 the European Union approved a measure labeling Jewish-made goods from Judea and Samaria, East Jerusalem and the Golan in a clear anti-Semitic move.
 
Prior to the guidelines being approved, official representatives of the State of Israel as well as initiatives from the U.S Congress and Senate called upon the EU to abandon the proposed move due to its discriminatory nature and clear sign of anti-Semitism.  
In the bipartisan letter by Senator Ted Cruz (R-TX), a Republican presidential candidate, and Senator Kirsten Gillibrand (D-NY), signed by 36 senators to Federica Mogherini, vice president of the European Commission Senator Cruz expressed his deep concern over the move.
 
"As allies, elected representatives of the American people, and strong supporters of Israel, we urge you not to implement this labeling policy, which appears intended to discourage Europeans from purchasing these products and promote a de-facto boycott of Israel, a key ally and the only true democracy in the Middle East".
 
"We believe strongly that these efforts are unwarranted, dangerous, and damaging to the prospects of a negotiated solution to this conflict".
The House letter, led by U.S. Reps. Douglas Lamborn (R-Colo.) and Randy Weber (R-Texas), was also signed by 36 lawmakers.
The letter stated that "As members of the United States Congress we are concerned that such measures will undermine decades-long American efforts to achieve a bilateral negotiated peace accord between Israel and the Palestinians." The EU's guidelines would "constitute the de-facto boycotting of Israel, its economy and commodities, due to the burden on importers to apply and adhere to them."
 
Both letters were initiated by The International Legal Forum, as well as the main arguments it includes, in corporation with the Zionist Organization of America. This initiative is part of the strategic efforts of the International Legal Forum to take a proactive stance to defend the State of Israel from attacks aimed at de-legitimizing it.

Attorney Yifa Sega, Director of the International Legal Forum stated:
"This move will constitute a major victory for the BDS movement which initiated and orchestrated this whole effort. BDS hides behind a cleverly devised marketing tool masquerading as protection of human right but in fact aims to indiscriminately violate an entire population's right to earn a living, receive education and culture, and even exist. This is anti-Semitism "in sheep's clothing" and the EU must not enable it."

This move is intended to impose more diplomatic and economic pressure on Israel during the current period of regional instability and is tantamount to boycotting Israel.
Although it was clear that the EU had no intention of reconsidering this action, this action in itself is important as it is another step forward in raising international support for the State of Israel in the face of continued attempts to undermine its legitimacy.

Many pro Israel  supporters, members of Jewish organizations and Israel activists came together in support of Israel in an evening in Solidarity at Temple Hillel, North Woodmere, NY.  Cindy Grosz put together a very entertaining and informative evening which served not only to educate but also provided a comfortable setting for Jewish students and their families,  Israeli supporters and seasoned  activists working on College Campus and elsewhere to network.  The wine tasting and collation was the sweet topping of an enjoyable evening.   May she go from Strength to Strength!

Fwd: 'Women In Green: Sovereignty Issue 6! Order your copy today!


---------- Forwarded message ----------
From: <womeningreen@womeningreen.org>

Subject: Sovereignty Issue 6! Order your copy today!



-------------------------------------------------------------------------

Especially Now: Issue #6 of Sovereignty has been published

Against the backdrop of political, security and economic pressure, the
new issue of the Sovereignty journal is being published, in which
there are articles by leading public figures who call for the
implementation of the vision of sovereignty over Judea and Samaria.

These days of terror and political pressure from both within and
without, with Europe conducting an economic boycott, the White House
pressuring Prime Minister Netanyahu back into diplomatic negotiations,
and the radical Left again trying to sell the 'two states' idea, Women
in Green is publishing the sixth issue of the Sovereignty journal.

In the new issue, as in its predecessors, there are interviews and
articles of several public figures in the fields of law, academia,
philosophy and politics, who call for the promotion of the vision of
applying Israeli sovereignty over all areas of Judea and Samaria.

Women in Green leaders, Yehudit Katsover and Nadia Matar, call on
Prime Minister Netanyahu to exhibit the same strong stance that he
showed in the matter of the Iranian nuclear project and the same
assertiveness that he exhibited against the European economic boycott,
which is aimed toward Israel in general and toward industry in Judea
and Samaria in particular, and not to capitulate to the edict of the
'two states' idea.  The two women call on Netanyahu, as well as on the
government's ministers, members of Knesset and public figures on the
Israeli Right to return to the Zionist, ethical and Jewish vision of
the application of Israeli sovereignty over Judea and Samaria, a
vision that will also be an answer to the escalation in the security
situation. "When it is clear to the Arab enemy that the People of
Israel does not have any doubt about its right to the Land, when it is
clear that the State of Israel  exhibits its determination to hold on
to this Land, the idea of establishing a terror state in the heart of
Israel, an idea that encourages the spirit of Arab terror, will fade
away".

In the new issue of Sovereignty one can read the words of the minister
of tourism, Yariv Levin, who calls for promoting legislation in the
spirit of the vision of sovereignty; the words of the head of the
Legal Forum for the Land of Israel, Atty. Yossi Fuchs, who explains
the State of Israel's true standing in the territories of Judea and
Samaria and says that the only occupation that has been in the area
throughout history is none other than the Arab occupation.

In another interview, Rav Eliezer Waldman tells of the first steps in
establishing Kiryat Arba-Hevron, steps that began in the room of Rav
Tzvi Yehuda Kook, who sent him and Rav Moshe Levinger, obm, to the
mission of settlement, which caused a revolution in the field. General
(res.) Uzi Dayan, a former deputy chief of staff, sketches a security
map and states that if the People do not have a real familiarity with
the Land, it is impossible to love it. The head of the Yesha Council,
Avi Roe, in an interview with Sovereignty, encourages Women in Green,
which promotes the idea of sovereignty.

Additional interviews and articles deal with the positive changes in
American politics, with humanism according to a faith-based approach
and more.

Katsover and Matar see the publication of the new issue as part of a
renewed momentum in the sovereignty campaign, which Women in Green are
leading, a campaign that has broad resonance with the Israeli public
and among leading public figures. Many youths from throughout the
country have also joined the campaign recently, also with the
intention of carrying the banner of the Right's political vision among
those of their own age.

"The leadership of the radical Left is indeed attempting to return to
the idea of establishing a Palestinian terror state, which has been
shown to be impossible and hopeless, but the people in Israel have
become wise and understand that it has been paying for the idea in
much blood and now seeks an alternative vision", say Katsover and
Matar and add: "This is the time and this is the era to return to the
Zionist, Jewish, ethical and secure vision, the vision of
sovereignty".

Issue no. 6 of Sovereignty will begin distribution this coming weekend
in approximately one hundred thousand copies in Hebrew and another
fifty thousand copies in English, which will also go to public opinion
shapers and politicians in Europe and the U.S..
