The Google map depicting where 450 Germans logged on to MyShtetl from today looks somewhat like ‘German Measles’. SEE more detailed map below.
The very well-read MyShtetl story in September on the SA government planning to insist that many popular Israeli imports that are manufactured on the West Bank are relabelled "Product of illegal settlement in the Occupied Palestinian Territories" mentioned that Ahava cosmetic products would be included in this forced relabeling.
A story in the mass-circulation German daily, WELD and also carried on WeldOnline today on what they called Muslim pressure quoted from our story.
This prompted the popular BILDBLOG.DE to carry the WELD story and add still more from the MyShtetl story (SEE PICS BELOW) and between the two links some 450 Germans as well as a host of Swiss and Austrians came visiting MyShtetl today.

After meeting Zackie Achmat & Open Shuhada Street, Trade & Industry minister Rob Davies agreed in September that, where appropriate, "Product of Israel" would in future be replaced by: "Product of illegal settlement in the Occupied Palestinian Territories"
Davies told Ilham Rawoot of the Mail & Guardian this week: "I'm waiting for a formal submission and I will apply my mind and decide on the recommendations. We're persuaded it's in the interest of South African consumers to know whether their products are coming from Israel or from the occupied territories."
