Europe planning to blackmail Israel regardless of who wins the elections
Israel Matav ^ | 2/13/2015 | Carl in Jerusalem

According to a report in Makor Rishon, Europe is planning to blackmail Israel big time in March regardless of which side wins our upcoming elections.
Ariel Kahane reports in today’s edition of Makor Rishon that the European

Union is preparing to impose a series of heavy sanctions against Israel to

be rolled out after the March elections.


The sanctions would impact not only Israeli business economic activity with

the European Union that involves Israeli manufacturers located beyond the ’67

line (including eastern Jerusalem) but also trade activity in general and

other facets of economic interaction between the EU and Israel. In

addition, the EU would take an aggressive role supporting Palestinian legal

action against Israel as well as other diplomatic activity against the

Jewish State.


It is important to note that, according to Kahane, the election of a left

wing government would not take these plans off the table.


In the event that Herzog becomes prime minister, the EU would give the newly

elected Israeli government a few months to make enough “progress” in its

negotiations with the Palestinians to justify indefinitely postponing the

sanctions.


Put another way: the sanction would not be imposed only as long as the EU

would remain satisfied with the pace that Herzog walks down the gangplank.

What could go wrong?

Shabbat Shalom everyone!

Israel will take their business to India. Europe can go pound sand.

I wonder if the good Germans and good Poles and good peoles in the various other nations will speak up and be able to get rid of the EuroNazis in the EU Headquarters ... or whether Europe is doomed to some version of a replay of the 1930’s and 1940’s?

This is a fine time to remind freepers of our chance to vote with our dollars. All other things being equal, or even close to equal, I’ll support Israel whenever I can.

Europe sides with Islamofacists and boycotts Israeli products.
Islamofacists ramp up attacks in Europe which include nerve gas in major cities.
Turns out that PRX-105 manufactured in Israel is the best protection from such attacks.
Europe says, “Sell us some.”
Israel says, “Can’t, you’re boycotting us.”

When are Europeans going to learn that you never pet a rabid dog?

Let me try to understand this. Is the EU engaged in a war against Israel, and does part of the fractured front line go through the EU capitol Brussels?

This reminds me of the Chick-fil-a boycott. And we all remember how that turned out.

Israel’s response should be obvious: for every oppression by Europe, the Israelis should deport Paleos to Europe. Shoot for “value equivalency”, so the greater the sanction, the more Paleos will be deported.

The Euro weenies really ARE that stupid. The Israelis need to let the Euro trash swing in the wind with their Islamofascist brothers. It is a well deserved marriage.
