From Breitbart:
Obama Joins Israel Boycott, Labels West Bank Goods
In a step towards joining an Israel boycott, the U.S. is now requiring goods originating from the West Bank (also known as Judea and Samaria) to be labeled separately from products from the rest of Israel, following the European Union’s crackdown on products from the disputed territories.
The U.S. Customs and Border Protection service, which falls under the Department of Homeland Security (DHS), has issued new mandates requiring that West Bank products not be marked “Israel,” citing a notice from the year 1997 that offers such instructions.
The memo from DHS, titled, “West Bank Country of Origin Marking Requirements,” reads:
“The purpose of this message is to provide guidance to the trade community regarding the country of origin marking requirements for goods that are manufactured in the West Bank.”
A bit more:
Groups advocating “boycott, divestment, and sanctions” (BDS) against Israel have demanded separate labeling of Israeli goods from the West Bank and the Golan Heights as a step toward a total boycott of Israeli products.
Israel maintains that under international law, the West Bank is “disputed,” and not “occupied,” since there was no legitimate sovereign in the territory when Israel took control of it in self-defense after Jordan attacked Israel in 1967.

The new instructions were published by DHS over the weekend, following complaints from Palestinian and fringe leftist outfits that the U.S. was not complying with a 1995 law that calls for the marking of goods from the West Bank, Israel National News reports.
Of course, they wait until the weekend to pull crap like this.
If you read your history, you will see that the idea that there was a palestinian nation is a complete fabrication of the Soviet KGB in the 1950's. Yasser Arafat was the son of an Egyptian dentist and was courted by the USSR. Arafat spent nine years at Patrice Lumumba University in Moscow (their school for scoundrels). Russia wanted to destabilize Israel.
The so-called palestinians are Hashamites from Jordan. It is impossible for them to buy land in any other nation in the Middle East.
