#Crif - Press release Stop the discrimination of Israel

Crif strongly condemns the decision of the French government to apply double labeling of Israeli products.

Asking distributors to add "Israeli colony" on products "of the West Bank, Jerusalem or the Golan" is a discriminatory treatment applied only to the State of Israel, while many other countries have territorial conflicts and no such labeling.

As peace in the region is at stake, this decision, which aims at isolating Israel, does not match the necessary impartiality of France who claims to play a constructive role in the region. It will only have for consequence the slowing down of the economic initiatives in these territories and an impoverishment of the Palestinians who work in these areas.

Crif reminds that the anti-Israeli obsession contribute to import the conflict in France and instigate hate.

For Francis Kalifat, President of Crif, "this discriminatory decision does not go in the direction of reconciliation.  It strengthens the illegal movement BDS which pours hatred of Israel. BDS calls to the boycott and de-legitimization of the only state of the Jewish people in disobedience of French law and carries out an obsessional anti-Zionism which conveys the modern form of the anti-Semitism."Asking distributors to add "Israeli colony" on products "of the West Bank, Jerusalem or the Golan" is a discriminatory treatment applied only to the State of Israel, while many other countries have territorial conflicts and no such labeling.
