Israel comes unstuck on misleading 'West Bank' food labelling

Proof that political campaigning works came with welcome news today that our Government has finally acted to increase pressure on Israel over its illegal West Bank colonies by advising UK supermarkets on how to distinguish between foods from the illegal colonies and Palestinian-manufactured goods.
This is an issue MPACUK has long campaigned on. Could this be the first step towards a full-on boycott of Israeli goods until it stops - unequivocally? The Foreign Office doesn't want a full boycott. It is up to Muslims to continue to call for a full trade and cultural boycott until Israel's immoral system of apartheid is smashed.

Good to see you being honest about your genocidal intent
Submitted by Emmanuel Goldstein on Fri, 11/12/2009 - 11:39pm.I take it you are referring to this extract from the Hadith:
“The Hour [of Resurrection] will not take place until the Muslims fight the Jews, and kill them. And the Jews will hide behind the rock and tree, and the rock and tree will say: oh Muslim, oh servant of Allah, there is a Jew behind me, come and kill him!”
Sahih Muslim, vol. 4, pp. 2238-2239, no. 2921-2
Well prove the hadith wrong
Submitted by Shaan on Sat, 12/12/2009 - 10:54am.Well prove the hadith wrong by undoing the crimes of zionist jews in palestine in the last 60 years.
end the occupation of palestine-prosecute the war criminals and pay reparations and then you will not have anything to worry about.
if you beleived in the above hadith then you would have never occupied palestine in the first place, if you stop killing palestinians in their homes-farms-road and lands then maybe you will not have to fear revenge.
As for trees and rocks maybe technology will develop to a extent that you will be able to tell who is who by dna diffrences when such things happen, as i am sure the americans have weapons which will be activated by being used against certain dna markers.
so if you retribution then stop the crimes against palestinians, one nation for all.

Palestina is Ancient Israel renamed by the Romans
Submitted by CoFee on Sat, 12/12/2009 - 8:14pm.Its an idiot who tries to tell us the Palestine existed before and its an Arab land. The FACT is that it was ancient Israel that was renamed Palastina after the Philistines by the Romans who wanted to erase traces of the Jewish Nation.
Until 1922 Palestine was part of the Ottoman Empire and consisted of what is today:- Israel, West Bank, Gaza, Jordan, Syria and The Lebanon.
After 1922 The Mandate made what was left of "Palestine" the Jewish National Home to be populated by Jews and ARabs.
Ashenazi Jews are related to Sephardi Jews who are related to Jesus.

non-semite Jews in "Palestine"
Submitted by anonymous on Sun, 13/12/2009 - 4:28pm.How many non-semite Arabs are there in"Palestine" and the rest of the Middle-East and North Africa: let's count in the Circassians, the Berbers, the Algerians who came from Algeria following the repression of Abd-el-Kader, the Moroccans, the Egyptians, the Bosnians and the Albanians who were chased out of Europe by the Serbs, the Turks in quantity, the Mongols and the admixtures, and the mixed race, the Africans, the products iof the Muslim-Arab slave trade. Let's see, that must mean that the semite arabs of "Palestine can amount to no more than 20% of the population.. Oh, and we mustn't forget the Kurds and the Alawites. How many 100 % pure blooded arab semites are there now. Shaan, you a little nazi racist.
The Hadith Cannot Be Proven Wrong
Submitted by Q on Sat, 12/12/2009 - 9:52pm.The hadith cannot be proven wrong by the Zionists. The hadith is a statement of direction binding upon Muslims seeking to bring on the Hour of Resurrection. Implicit in this hadith is the understanding that so long as the Jews continue to live the Hour of Resurraction will not arrive.
Even if the Zionist state disbands itself the hadith remains valid. The hadith relates to actions against Jews not Zionists and applied equally to all Jews without qualification.
There is only two ways to avoid this situation. 1 If all Jews convert to Islam. 2. If the Jews kill all the Muslims long before the Muslims have a chance to kill the Jews.
Q, there is of course a third option
Submitted by Emmanuel Goldstein on Sat, 12/12/2009 - 10:49pm.That is that Muslims reform themselves and discard this Hadith and leave the Jews alone. But we know that is impossible. isn't it?
Reform??
Submitted by Q on Mon, 14/12/2009 - 10:57am.Reform requires the mass to be repelled by the elements of Islam that do not accord with what we understand today as being basis human rights and humanity. At this moment the Muslim world lacks the social and intellectual maturity to do this, and is too introspective to comprehend the perspectives of others.
It may be that the appalling violence that can be seen across the Muslim world is the beginning of that reformation. But the reformation is not about indiviudal hadiths, but about the entire complex of relationships that the Muslim world has with the rest of the world's inhabitants and within itself. Islam is distinct from both Christianity and Judaism insofar as Christinaity & Judaism at their founding were incomplete and thus they have a forward looking paradigm. Islam on the other hand established itself in the life time of its founder, Mohammed. Although Christianity and Judaism have a bloody history, Christianity relies upon Judaism for its basic validity. Christianity being a "reformed" version of Judaism. Islam asserts itself as being the true original faith from Abraham, and that Judaims is an aberrative corruption founded on perversions and fabications. Althoug Chritsianity has killed vast numbers of Jews, the loss of Judaism through violence would be a cataclysm for Christians. But for Muslims the quoted hadith illustrates how Islam can easily survive the eradicaton of Judaism.
The paradigm of the sequence of Culture - Strategy - Policy identifies that to have effective strategies and policies, the culture must be aligned with evidence based understanding of the world. At present the "Islamic" culture is out of alignment with the rest of the world and the dominant factions do not actually understand why. Subsequently the strategies that the leadership develop are repeatedly unsuccessful.
The Islamic world borders upon the schizophrenic in its responses and demands as can be readily seen here. On one hand there is the repeated assertion that Muslims have universal rights and should be protected from any offense. On the other is the assertion that they have a "divine" right to propogate ideas such as the quoted hadith that profoundly offend and disturb others. What should be disturbing is that Muslims do not seem capable of recognising this. This is indicative of the dysfuntion that is present in Muslim communities and unless they address this they will forever find themselves humiliated and on the losing side.
Israeli occupation
Submitted by anonymous on Sun, 13/12/2009 - 12:45pm.Woa, there! You've left out the illegal Muslim occupation of Palestine which began in 632 CE or AD. Muslims need to pay reparations and beat their breasts first for an act of imperialism and acts of colonialism. Then you won't have to worry about Israeli fighters kicking the shit out of you.

Your Reference
Submitted by Q on Sat, 12/12/2009 - 9:42pm.Your reference to this particular Hadith may illustrate a nunber of things as it predates modern Zionism and the many modern events that are alleged to be associated with it. The hadith is valid as it stands without reference to any other matter. It states very clear that the elecated status that all Muslims should aspire to is impeded by the continued existance of the Jews. Of course as a Muslim you believe this hadith represents the will of the most divine being, and to believe otherwise may suggest that you are not a Muslim, or perhaps a dissenting reformist Muslim.
Naturally Jews do not believe that the divine being requires their deaths as a precursor of the Hour of Resurrection. Not do I imagine that they believe that the mineral, vegetable and animal entities on the earth will act in unison against them.
Thus quoting this hadith raises the question whether the invocation of this hadith is in fact incitement to genocide and racial / sectarian hatred by link the actions of the Zionist with the fate of the Jews. The hadith suggests that Muslims have a responsibility to execute this genocide prior to the Hours of Resurrection. All devout Muslims must surely wish to hasten the Hour of Resurrection and it would suggest that devout Muslims are planning for and are committed to this genocide.
In light of this is it nay wonder that the Jews rationally seek to preempt that day by slaughtering the Muslims first?
Perhaps you ought not to quote such things until you understand the potential implications.

Submitted by Taz on Sat, 12/12/2009 - 2:23pm.Why lie? It is very EASY to boycott Israeli goods and it just got easier. A positive development.
The point of your lie is to try to convince people that boycotting the apartheid state is futile but it worked for South Africa and it can work for the Zionist entity. Nice try at Hasbara (lying for Israel) here have a shekel.
Its impossible to boycott Israeli goods (2)
Submitted by CoFee on Sat, 12/12/2009 - 8:08pm.Taz the Idiot calls me a liar for sayings impossible to boycott Israel goods. He's naive and wants to avoid the obvious answer, as he uses his computer with an Israeli designed Intel chip, based on an Israeli design incorporated into Windows, across the Internet via Cisco routers with Israeli designed firmware, passing through many servers routing via Cisco. As he uses Windows Messenger he doesn't see the micro-code developed in Israel (as well as the instant messaging design that inspired it).
Go ahead! Live in a cave. You seem to have the right mindset.
Boycotts and bans

2 Turkish closing of Turkish ports to Cyprus goods and services. And Turkey wants to join the EU?? They must be kidding.
3 Turkish denial of discrimination and massacres of Kurds
4 Turkish murder of Christians
5 Turkish denial of first 20th century genocide of Armenians. There can be no place for Muslim deniers of genocide in the EU.

Keep the pressure up
Submitted by Hotter Than A Pile Of Curry on Sat, 12/12/2009 - 2:00pm.Everyone must resist the brutal zionist occupation by all and any means.
By simply not buying their produce, now much easier thanks to the relabelling policy showing exactly where the origin has to be stated explicitly, you can help the muslims in palestine, simply by choosing to purchase their products, which will help them to grow their economies, rather than giving money to the zionists.
Excellent....MPAC too played a part in raising this awareness through the "Israeli Blood Dates" campaign they started several years ago.
Proof that with patience, determination and steadfastness we can collectively overcome the zionist regime and help to bring peace to the Palestinians.
Insh'Allah

Time to give them what they give others.
Definitely keep the pressure up.
Boycotts Could Work
Submitted by Q on Mon, 14/12/2009 - 11:20am.Boycotts of Israeli agro products are neither here nor there as the agricultural sector in Israel has shrunk to single percenrtage figures. Boycotts could be successful if all Israeli products, made in Israel or licensed from Israel, were subject to a boycott.
However this is highly unlikely due to the importance of Israeli industries in some key sectors. For instance Teva is the largest single supplier of generic drugs to the UK's NHS. Israeli owned soft fruit handling equipment in the EU is used by a vast number of third world countries to export their products to the EU and there is no obvious replacement for these facilities. Israel is a major IT R&D centre and it is highly unlikely that producers like Intel & Motorola would easily forgo accessing such R&D & Production facilities. Israel is also a major medical R&D centre again it is not evident that the EU or US populations give a damn enough to forego accessing this technological advances.
The proposed boycott will have liitle real effect upon the Israelis and to some extent the proposition illustrates just how little the proponents understand the Israelis. Every action to isolate Israel reinforces the siege mentality and simply shifts support to the right wing.
If there were to be this boycott the Israelis could simply cease cooperating with the UN, and the people who would suffer would be the hundreds of thousands of Palestinians who rely upon UN intervention. It is possible that a full boycott would force the Israelis back to the Green Line. But in doing so, it would end the possibility of a peaceful stable Palestinian state. Of course if you believe that the number of "martyrs" that must suffer to obliterate the insult of Zionism is irrelevant, then of course the boycott is simply one weapon in your armoury.
It's a record
Submitted by Paul M on Sun, 13/12/2009 - 4:32pm.Shan has managed to post three or four e mails without talking about Israeli rape, sodomy or genocide.
This is extraordinary.
Has he decided to keep his dark fantasies to himself and his little room when the light goes out, or has he accepted that there is not a single proved or even seriously asserted case of a Palestinian being raped by an Israeli in forty years of 'occupation'?
And as for genocide, it would be the first one which sees the subject population tripling.
And don't give us those 'cultural genocide' weasel words. Never in the history of the Palestinians have they had such a low infant mortality rate, high calorific intake, high literacy rate, high rate of publication of books or even any institutions of tertiary education as since 1967.
