Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu is demanding that the European Union retract yesterday’s new guidelines forbidding cooperation with companies and organizations that do business in Israeli settlements, insisting the guidelines must be “postponed” for an undisclosed amount of time.
Israel’s center-right government has been staking out myriad positions on the guidelines, from warning they’ll threaten peace talks to condemning them as tantamount to another Holocaust (per Housing Minister Uri Ariel).
Economy Minister Naftali Bennett, leader of the Jewish Home Party, also urged Israel to move against the EU’s criticism, saying Israel should dramatically expand settlements to prove that they can, and claiming Israel’s claim on the settlements predates Paris and that the settlements would remain long after Paris was gone.
For all the attempts to portray it as “harmful” to the peace process, the reality is likely quite a bit different, and will likely force Israel to cooperate with John Kerry’s attempt to restart the peace process or risk not only validate the EU measures, but encourage more such measures.
The thousands of years claim…….. ???????????????
[Wikipedia;]
"It is believed that a settlement on the site of modern-day Paris was founded in about 250 BC by a Celtic tribe called the Parisii, who established a fishing village near the river Seine. The Île de la Cité was traditionally assumed to be the location of the settlement, but this theory has been recently brought into question. Recent archeological finds indicate that the Paris region's largest pre-Roman settlement may have been in the present-day suburb of Nanterre.[1]"
For how many centuries did "Israel" control these areas of (new) "settlements" during the last millennium …. ????? Which they (now) claim "predates Paris" and also claim that the settlements would remain long after Paris was gone. It's big talk for an isolated apartheid island, in sea of states populated by the very people this mini state subjugates……
Time for a more realistic approach……………..
Also, if Israel's argument is valid and the US agrees, shouldn't the US give up 10 to 50% of its land to Native Americans? The US doesn't seem to like answering questions about this.
Rage on …the emperor has no clothes. The world is fed up with this annoying little country and yet the US wants to give it a seat on the UN Security Council… The only forum for the world to try and control these guys is through the UN…The Security Council is for the Adult countries, not the petulant, spoiled brats of the Middle East.
The claim of Israel is as false as Israel itself, fir Israel to understand the seriousness of the issue is for Israel to be boycotted and by all means and by every nations in this world, words alone is not going to help nor it ever has.
You really don´t need the approval of any government, Mojo, simply read the labels of everything you buy and begin making decisions.
Is Daddy's little brat going to throw a tantrum?
So this lying, cheating, tap-dancing sociopath now demands that the European Union postpone the anti-settlement guidelines. As usual , his minions line up behind him with their predictable accusations of "racism" , "anti-semitism " and, of course the old tried and proven war horse: "holocaust". That one has become vastly overused and tiresome.
Deny and accuse, deny and accuse until hell freezes over. That is their policy.
The only ting that will work is a total international boycott of the obstinate state of Israel.
Get real Natanyahu, the world is getting sick and tired of you and your myopic, perverted attitude.
