Yup. But Obama loves the Jews.
Right?
The Obama White House approves of the new Israel labels on products sold in Europe.
The Times of Israel reported, via Religion of Peace:
The Obama administration says it doesn’t consider a new European Union rule outlawing “Made in Israel” tags on goods from the West Bank as a boycott of the Jewish state, only a technical guideline for consumers.
The US clarification of its position comes a day after the decision by the EU, which applies to goods produced in Israeli settlements in the West Bank.
“We do not believe that labeling the origin of products is equivalent to a boycott,” State Department spokesman Mark Toner says. “And as you know, we do not consider settlements to be part of Israel. We do not view labeling the origin of products as being from the settlements as a boycott of Israel.”
Before the EU acted, the US position was more ambiguous. Toner and other officials stressed only that Washington opposed any boycotting of Israel, while saying the EU’s response “shouldn’t come as a surprise” given Israel’s continued construction of settlements on land the Palestinians seek for their future state.
