T. Belman. The EU effort must be taken seriously.
It is not enough for them to have the UN back their proposal, they also want a “support group” to apply pressure. They, like Obama, have abandoned Res 242, the Oslo Accords and the Bush Letter of ’04. Israel can no longer count on the PA to kill the deal. The EU want to end the occupation that began in ’67, whether the PA is willing to sign a peace agreement or not.
Their efforts are as lawless as those of the UN, the ICC and the Obama administration. The only law they approve of is law which supports their agenda. When it doesn’t they ignore it or distort it it or misinterpret it. They want Israel to abandon the rule of law and not demolish Arabs houses which have been approved by the courts.
Israel should agree to none of this. Israel should demand the acceptance of the Bush letter as the only basis for negotiations. Israel should continue with court approved demolitions and should continue to build as Bibi says in a “responsible” manner”.
And under no conditions should she make any “gestures” to get the PA to the table.
A meeting of EU foreign ministers blasts Israel for what it says are actions that ‘seriously threaten the two-state solution’, while embracing a new international peace plan that would bring Israel and the Palestinians back to the negotiating table.
The foreign ministers of the European Union on Monday discussed a new plan to push Israeli-Palestinian peace, and did not hold back on listing what they perceived to be obstacles to peace, including what they termed “forced transfers”, settlements, and the building of the “separation barrier” beyond the green line.
A list of decisions made at the meeting stated that among other things, the EU “calls on Israeli authorities to halt plans for forced transfer of population and demolition of Palestinian housing and infrastructure in the Susya and Abu Nwar communities.”
The decision went on to state that the EU “reiterates its strong opposition to Israel’s settlement policy and actions taken in this context, such as building the separation barrier beyond the 1967 line, demolitions and confiscation – including of EU funded projects – evictions, forced transfers including of Bedouins, illegal outposts, settler violence and restrictions of movement and access.”
The statement concluded that “these actions seriously threaten the two-state solution.”
The ministers also condemned recent violence emanating from Gaza: “Recent rocket fire by militant groups is unacceptable and underlines again the danger of escalation,” they warned.
Peace Proposal
The same meeting saw EU diplomats discuss the new push towards Israeli-Palestinian peace through international organizations.
“The EU, notably through the action of its recently appointed Special Representative for the Middle East Peace Process, will work actively on a renewed multilateral approach to the peace process in consultation with all relevant stakeholders, including partners in the Quartet, notably the US, in the region and the United Nations Security Council,” read the document.
Building on a French proposal, the EU foreign ministers agreed to create an “international support group” more than a year after the collapse of a US-brokered peace push envisaging a Palestinian state co-existing with Israel. The EU wants to open the door to more countries to get involved.
French Foreign Minister Laurent Fabius recently presented the Arab League with a detailed plan to renew peace talks between Israel and the Palestinians.
The plan stipulates the formation of a Palestinian state in the pre-1967 lines, with swaps of mutually agreed upon lands similar in size, while taking into account Israel’s security needs.
France has said that if a two-state solution was not reached by the end of the allotted 18 month period of negotiations, France would announce its official recognition of the State of Palestine.
‘Diplomacy works’
“This week tells us that diplomacy in the long run can deliver,” EU foreign policy chief Federica Mogherini said, referring to the July 14 deal in which Iran agreed to curb its disputed nuclear program in return for an end to sanctions.
The EU foreign ministers’ plan envisages obtaining formal approval for the so-called support group at the UN General Assembly in New York in September, then a UN Security Council resolution to set parameters for a peace deal.
Deep internal divisions within the 28-nation EU over Middle East policy, which limit its ability to take an active role, are among the reasons for seeking an international coalition.
Participants in the Iran nuclear accord were world powers Russia, China, the United States, Britain, France and Germany. EU diplomats see a chance to involve many more countries than those in the Middle East Quartet – the United States, the United Nations, the European Union and Russia – that has promoted Israeli-Palestinian peacemaking with little practical effect.
Under the EU proposal, the permanent members of the UN Security Council, the larger European economies including Spain and Italy, and Arab nations could play a bigger role.
Mogherini, who met with Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas in May, sees a chance for EU diplomacy in the absence of a new diplomatic initiative from Washington as President Barack Obama approaches the end of his final term.
While the central players in the nuclear negotiations were Iran and the United States, senior EU officials played a central role in mediating negotiations, becoming the unsung heroes of the deal and giving EU diplomats confidence to do more abroad.
“The (Israeli-Palestinian) peace process is at a standstill. The situation is bad. Europe should help both parties to take steps to overcome the impasse,” French Foreign Minister Laurent Fabius said.
watsa46 Said:
BB cant even utter the words: JEWISH SETTLEMENT IN YS IS LEGAL AND LEGITIMATE AND MUST BE FACILITATED AND ENCOURAGED.
these were the words of the goyim in the LON mandate but it is the jewish GOI who is making YS Judenrein, not the goyim. the goyim is the bogey man scapegoat that BB uses. Hence, it is outside of gov that we see any aggressive lawfare taking place without any gov aid or support. DUH??????? walking, looking, quacks like…..???????
SHmuel HaLevi 2 Said:
who will send them packing? I see no such sign of anyone. Benett ran off with his tail between his legs accepting the eunuch ministry having nothing to do with settlement, feiglin was sent to siberia… BB gains strength by destroying the right from within using typical tactics and the Israeli public buys it hook line and sinker. the 2 religious parties in gov seem to have no care once they get their perks. I think we are pissing in the wind. Look how many on the Israeli right beleive BB is a great right wing leader, when they roll over during their slumber and open their eyes a tad, he throws the fools a bone that he later takes back. Hotovely boasts of begging the euros to stop funding sabotage rather than enacting a law to ban the euros and their money from such groups AND from YS. Hotovely threatens them with what should be done instead of talking, she is learning well from BB, talk the talk, forget the walk.
I am not now and never have been interested in legal cases. This is especially true of anything and everything in connection with the Jewish nation, the Jewish state, politics in general, or the foreign and domestic policies of government. And this disinterest sure as hell applies to the UNO, which is an international debating society protending and even dreaming of becoming a world government.
To me, there is nothing but power and the will to use it on behalf of the Jewish nation and state. The only way I can think of to keep control of Shomron and Yehuda is to fill these ancient Jewish lands with 21st century Jewish families, Jewish businesses, Jewish agricultural enterprises, Jewish industries, and Jewish guns with Jewish fingers on the Jewish triggers. Build up all this, and you will make it impossible to reestablish any kind of border west of the Jordan River. Which is precisely what you need, now and for the foreseeable future.
Stalinistic realism? I condemn none of that. That man was the ultimate realist, and to him, everything other than objectively-measured realism was bullshit. Before long, those of you in Eretz-Yisrael will find yourselves wishing you had such a leader.
Think it over.

When Israel refuses to make a legal case of her ownership of J & S she concedes from the onset, what is hers, to the Palestinians. This then undermines the so called “settlements” which are as a matter of fact cities build in her own land and NOT settlements!
@ bernard ross:
What we have exposing for years about the pseudo “leader” Netanyahu, is growing to a tidal wave.
The cowardly, sold out speechster knows it and is conspiring with Livni Hertzog and Obama to “unite”.
We must be alert and not allow anymore such things.
Netanyahu and his associates must be sent packing, (and we better watch what he packs and takes on his way out)…
read this to see the agenda of the filthy euros as they are allowed to run wild in Israel and fund the destruction of Jewish history…
dont tell me that BB is not fully aware of everything they are doing, and yet he does nothing to stop them.
All the funding must be stopped, their movements in Israel must be restricted and watched, what the hell is BB waiting for?????? They should not be allowed to set foot in any part of Israel.
read the article, its disgusting what these filthy euros are allowed to do in Israel
Instead of “demanding” the euros tod do something why doesnt the GOI do something????? E.G. enact the law without all the baloney rhetoric. Rhetoric always sounds like BS, something done in ploace of what should be done, pretending one is actually doing something. Enact the law and enforce it and then there does not need to be so musch superflous talk and noise.
In fact, the one who should be leading this charge is the one whose name we never hear doing anything related to these issues. Where is BB netanyahu, why is he not spearheading the law, why does he NOT consider such a law important when the euronazis never cese to stalk, abuse and libel Jews?
As usual, he does nothing, ……. 🙁

Netanyahu is John Boehner: phony pronouncements of principle accompanied by very real capitulation. Why didn’t he respond to Obama’s total betrayal by announcing a huge new building program in J & S? Constantly whimpering is a piss poor way of demonstrating effective defiance.
At the risk of having our emotionally disturbed friend again lecture me about having “zip” right to notice, Netanyahu is fully complicit in this Iranian debacle.
its a joke that BB always claims foreign pressure is what he is concerned about and yet he has NEVER come up with any plan, approach, etc. to counter the foreign pressure he says takes up all his time and thoughts. Facts demonstrate over years that his only plan is to say nothing, do nothing, know nothing.
So, what’s his plan to deal with libels, BDS and sanctions from euros?
I have been looking for years and see no indication of any plan or thought on this.
It’s almost as if he has no plan
HMMMM, has he been telling fibs?
LOL everyone but Israel has a role
could anyone be more insulting than these euronazis?
and yet BB talks to them daily as if nothing is happening.
BB is encouraging them in their agenda
but then perhaps it is his agenda also, after all there is no evidence in years to say otherwise.
Ted Belman Said:
the problem is that no responsibility is taken by Israel and its leadership for the current outcome. The euros are accused of the libels spread by Israeli jews.
If Israeli leadership allows the libel and does nothing for years it becomes truth. If Israeli leftists and nutter ultra orthodox Jews spread blood libels about Israel then the world believes them and the anti semites have more ammunition.
until the libels of the euros are ceased they should be allowed no access into the west bank including from jordan. As it is “occupied territory” it should be a closed military zone to all but settling Jews. They insult the jews. by allowing them access it gives them credibility. Unless BB is seeking to facilitate his understandings with the GCC for a “deal” there should be no reason for rebuilding gaza nor areas A & B for those who teach their children that Jews are the sons of apes and pigs in their schools. BB’s behavior makes no sense except in the light of a covert deal.
The pals do not own YS, nor do the euros……. full stop.
but BB behaves as if they do
Israel should consider all avenues to weaken and damage europe as a weakened, damaged, fragmented, chaotic, europe will have less time to perpetrate their genocidal dreams on the Jews. That is the home of the jew killers.
@ Ted Belman:
what should not be expected is a leader of the Jews that has done nothing to counter their libels and actions in all the years. he is a bystander, a do nothing, he cannot even call in the ambassadors and state that they insult the jews calling jews in YS illegal. He does not even demand they abide by former treaties and promises. He does nothing, he says nothing, he knows nothing. The key to his deceitful behavior is that he continued to allow the euros to illegally build arab homes in C
@ bernard ross:
I am very impressed by your comment.
The people must become aware of the real setting that don Netanyahu has formulated in a stealthy fashion.
He has been expertly managed and his own real plans fit perfectly what you expertly present.
Kol HaKavod!
this plan assumes that the disputed vacant land of YS belongs to the pals… what does BB say to that? Even solomon would have cut the disputed land in half. The stinking french want the jews in a ghetto.
It is BB’s fault because when they state that the land should go the the pals he should be instead claiming ALL the land. He is a milsop that doesnt even open his mouth to defend the Jews against the euronazi verbal attacks. What foreign pressure prevents him from claiming Jews rights to Israel? It is a lie, he is for the foreign pressure so as to get israelis to demand a deal and he to get a nobel. the foreigners insult Israel and he says nothing. this is worse than the iran deal because the demands on the jews will not end until they give it to the muslims. today YS and tomorrow the internal 5th column will make demands. the jews worst enemy is not the muslims but it is the proven euros
I am publicly accusing Benjamin Netanyahu of covert collaboration with the EU Jew stalkers and Libelers.
In all of his years as PM he has done nothing to counter the libel of illegal and/or illegitimate Jewish settlement in YS. Even the weakest of nations and peoples are able to mouth the words. He has NEVER raised the voice of protest, never mind actually doing anything. BB has reinforced and given credibility to all the filthy libels of the europeans. He acts at best as if he is a bystander allowing the eurofilth to slander the Jews as they have always done before preparing to slaughter them The euoros are assembling a lynch mob but all along BB never even said they were wrong, mistaken and/or liars. BB’s behavior states that the Jews MUST be guilty of the filthy crimes alleged by the euros because surely in all this time their leader would say something instead of helping them build arab homes illegally in C.
Where did the euros get the idea that they could continue to push the Jews around and decide on Israels ghettos boundaries? they got the idea from BB netanyahu.
the euros are meddling in Israels internal affairs
the euros are illegally building in area C
the euros are libeleing the Jews by calling Jewish settlement in YS illegal
the euros are gloating over their coming krystalnacht which they plan for the Jews
the euros are assembling a lynch mob for their biggest pogrom to date
and what has BB done?
He says nothing, he does nothing, he knows nothing…..
he allows them free reign to libel the Jews, he never calls in their ambassadors to demand a cessation to their libel, he allows them free reign in the military zones to commit their illegal settlement, he silences the only voices left in Israel who seek Jewish settlement in YS, he gives them irrelevant and ineffectual ministries, he buries the levy report, he buries E1, he speaks of pressure but never counters it. He has silenced all opposition to the euro agenda. He alludes to foreign pressure but has no plan of action to deal with that pressure other than to avoid it by keeping jews in the ghetto like a good ghetto leader. BB’s plan of action is to walk to the showers and follow instructions like a good shtetle Jew doing the bidding of his euro masters.
He should ban all euro activity in YS
He should call in each ambassador and demand that they honor their treaties to settle Jews in the mandate territory
he should demand that they cease their libels and make it a crime in Israel to call jewish settlement illegal or illegitimate in YS
He should annex C or at least call for a referendum
He should order massive Jewish settlement in YS to exercise Jewish sovereignty in israel
He should make sure that any sanction makes the pals in YS suffer
He should clandestinely expand criminal smuggling networks to send pals to europe
at the very least he should open his mouth and declare that they are liars, libelers and that Jewish settlement is NOT illegal or illegitimate.
the euros keep getting bolder because BB never did anything all along. He gives them a finger and they take the arm. His only plan is to sit and watch them and do nothing.
This is why I beleive that he is collaborating with them as a left wing mole because this is an attack to frighten the Israeli people and he is not rallying the people of Israel in the fight agianst the euronazis. What kind of a piss poor leader is that to have when the euronazis are attacking you?
@ Ted Belman:
Excellent Ted!
Short, accurate and to the point.
Its ironic but to be expected.
The EU places sanctions on Israel while lifting sanctions on Iran.
The EU gives Iran everything they want and to Israel nothing it wants.
The EU tries to force Israel to do things it didn’t agree to and it enables the PA to violate things it did agree to.
The Europeans are salivating to do business with Jew-hating Iran.
It follows that they want to help Iran advance its goal of destroying the Jewish State.
Israel owes them zero, zip, zilch and nada and should tell them to mind their own business.
Short and sweet message to the Roman Empire inheritors.
They can go all at once KBNMT. The “mandate” was kicked out by us in 48, end of story. Nah… they are no coming back via back doors. OUT!
They have what they wanted. The Nazis and most of the rest of europe murdered the Jews and imported their beloved Muslims. Enjoy europe!
