Sixteen out of the 28 EU countries want the bloc to label products from Judea and Samaria in an economic attack on the Jewish state, diplomatic sources told AFP Thursday, confirming a Haaretz report.

The 16 include Britain, France, Spain and Italy but not Germany.

In response, a senior Israeli diplomat told the EU "labeling products from Judea and Samaria is a yellow badge," referencing the "Jude" stars the Nazis forced Jews to wear during the Holocaust. Thursday marks Holocaust Remembrance Day.

The foreign ministers' letter said labeling "is an important step in the full implementation of EU longstanding policy, in relation to the preservation of the two-state solution."

The letter was signed by Austrian Foreign Minister Sebastian Kurz and drafted, according to Haaretz, by his Belgian counterpart Didier Reynders who also signed it.

Sweden, Malta, Ireland, Portugal, Slovenia, Croatia, Finland, Denmark, The Netherlands and Luxembourg were the other signatories.

Other than terrorism and opium, what do they export or manufacture?

Evidently, the EU has no problems with either of those.....
