Canadian sues over wines labelled 'Product of Israel'
 | Idiot. But he's a university lecturer, so such posturing is necessary. |
[Al Jazeera] A Canadian university lecturer and radio broadcaster has filed a suit in federal court challenging the inaccurate labelling of wines made in illegal Israeli settlements in the occupied West Bank and exported to Canada as a "Product of Israel".
David Kattenburg, a 62-year-old Winnipeg resident and son of Holocaust survivors,

had previously submitted a complaint in late March to the Canadian Food Inspection Agency (CFIA) about its labelling procedures, indicating that the grapes used were grown in the occupied West Bank and processed in wineries outside of Israel's formal borders.
"These falsely-labelled products trouble me as a consumer," Kattenburg said in July after he filed the original complaint. "Canadians have a right to know that [a product] is made in Israel, if it's made in some other place. This is a matter of concern. They have the right to truthful labelling."
