What about the stuff from isreal that is re-branded with bar code of different country?

that's why you still need to search for the country of origin of the products you buy.

personally, I try and always buy only American made products when possible.

Israel is not required to list country of origin on its products.

they do if they ship to the US i believe.

do you have a source for this?

Most I can find is talk about not labelling industrial materials, but I know that raw materials you're importing to work into a final product (for example, raw lumber you use to build furniture) doesn't need to be labelled by anybody.

I also see specific complaints on Jewish websites about how they have to label produce now.

I might be mistaken on is.

No, I think you're right about raw materials but wrong about consumer driven products like produce, electronics and such.

I also don't think we import any lumbar from Israel. They like to. Make security products for the prison states of America. Tear gas, training etc.

Good idea though, I'm going to research a bit more on their exports.
