This was a double-cross heard around the world.

Well that was a quick second or third honeymoon. This column was supposed to be about Bibi and Obama “mending fences.”
That appeared to be the case. They smiled. They shook hands. Bibi even said it was the best meeting he ever had with this White House.
Then, as Jackie Gleason used to say – “Pow! Right in the kisser!”
This was a double-cross heard around the world, as per this headline, “Obama approves of EU labeling of Jewish products.”
The short of it is that Europe has gone brothel again. Anything (including the cure for cancer?) made in the “settlements” will be labeled as unfit for European consumption. But that’s just my interpretation. Read all about it here, which includes Obama saying, “Sure. Why not? Let’s pile on.”
I am a Jewish product. Yes I am. I am a Jewish product and I feel libeled and labeled.
That’s not a direct quote, but my version of, “You too, Mr. President?”
Israel, the only country in the region that shares our values and fights our fight, and this is the country the White House chooses to humiliate.
Europe, no surprise. But America is supposed to differ and stand against segregation.
So it’s about “Jewish products” and guess what – I am a Jewish product. Yes I am. I am a Jewish product and I feel libeled and labeled.
This isn’t the first time, though all of us thought it would be the last time, going back a generation ago, which seems like yesterday.
So it’s about “Jewish products” and guess what – I am a Jewish product. Yes I am.
Yesterday (around 1942) the Gestapo arrived at my father’s leather shop in Toulouse, France. They ordered the shop closed for being Jewish.
“Occupied territory,” they declared.
So through my father, and mother, and sister, I know about being libeled and labeled.
The family didn’t wait around. Father did not need a mystical handwriting on the wall. It was spelled out right there on the window of his shop.
The label read, “Juif.”
That’s pretty much how it’ll soon be read all across Europe…again…and with my president’s blessing.
Of the Six Million who were trapped in Europe an overlooked detail haunts me. These days when I see images of European Jews waiting on the platforms to be herded onto the trains, I notice something odd. Husbands and wives are carrying suitcases. For what? For Auschwitz?
They do not know, or do not dare guess, that Auschwitz is their destination and their destiny. They were told about being “relocated.” Nothing to worry about.
They believed because they had no choice except to believe. But till the end, they never lost hope.
Likewise today. We’re told that labeling measures are being taken only against places that are illegally “occupied.”
Sounds awfully familiar to this Jewish product, me, and you, because truly, the libeling and the labeling never stops, once it begins.
We are all Jewish products. To them it’s all occupied territory wherever a Jew stops to catch a breath.
Today we have Israel, a Jewish State, so there should be no need to walk around with a suitcase. Today the hope is real and alive.
Time to tell Europe that we’re onto the tricks and thanks but we’re skipping your next Holocaust. Boycott This!
