All Israeli goods imported into the European Union (EU) do not receive duties; however, the Soda Club is operated in an Israel settlement not recognized by the EU. The Hamburg Finance Court must decide to either deny or allow The Soda Club products into Germany with or without a duty. The decision will be a proxy on all EU-Israeli relations due to Israeli settlement in Palestinian occupied land.
----------the story:
The Israeli settlement known as Maale Adumim sits fortress-like atop a red stone plateau. In the Bible, the road to the plateau was known as the "steep red road."
As the largest Israeli settlement in the Palestinian-administered areas of the West Bank, Maale Adumim is home to 40,000 people. Bulldozers are clearing lots for new houses on its outskirts. Its population is growing by the week and, in recent years, it has grown faster than any other settlement.

I'm really enjoying living in my newly purchased property in a Jewish settlement. I love the view of the Judean hills, the spacious countryside around. The area is quite empty. It's strange that the Arabs don't build their own communities and similarly enjoy living in this wonderful place. I wonder why. Different mind set I guess.
Anyway, they seem to appreciate the income they earn building the settlements for the Jews instead of for themselves. They get paid a lot more working for Jews than they would for their fellow Arabs. I wonder how they feel about the ostentatious and luxurious villas some of their brothers are living in here, financed of course by all that aid money flowing in from the dumb dhimmis. - 2 years ago

The EU does not recognize any of the illegal Israeli settlements. Why? Because they ARE illegal and occupied under International law.
Israel continues its arrogant and illegal actions despite world laws.
