The EU decision on Wednesday to label products from Israeli settlements in the West Bank, Golan Heights and East Jerusalem, has led to a series of retaliatory moves from Israel.

President Reuven Rivlin canceled his planned visit to the European Union headquarters in Brussels, which was scheduled for December 2.

Rivlin, who was invited back in March, was supposed to speak in front of the EU parliament and meet with EU officials.

The President's Residence confirmed the trip had been postponed, but would not address the reasons behind the decision.

Build your fekking walls, take more Palestinian land and flip off the world.

The world has a different opinion, and Israel apparently wants to find it out the hard way.
