EU Ready to Strike Israel with Sanctions One Day After Elections

EU member states have been readying themselves to enforce sanctions on Israel for Jewish communities in Judea-Samaria, diplomats revealed Tuesday—and will strike hours after the March 17 elections.

Israeli officials in recent weeks met with Europe’s most important foreign ministries at the EU headquarters in Brussels, an Israeli official told Walla! News on condition of anonymity, and said that the planned measures in Europe will be focused on “the illegality of the settlements under international law”—without any distinction between “settlement blocs” generally agreed upon to remain in Israel and isolated communities.

“The guiding principle is their deepening and emphasizing the absolute difference they make between Israel within the Green Line and Israel beyond the Green Line,” the official said, referring to the 1949 Armistice lines. “They talk about sanctions against companies that do business across the border, to support legal action of the Palestinians over the settlements and the renewal of the proposal for the establishment of a Palestinian state through the UN Security Council. The assumption is in Europe that a right-wing government will be elected in Israel, and thus it would be easier to promote these measures” against it, the official added. …

Why would the EU change now? They’ve been consistently anti-Israel for decades.

A senior European diplomat assured Walla! that "no new steps will be revealed before elections in Israel" and that EU countries have been "very careful not to intervene."

Very careful not to intervene? Ha! That is exactly what they're trying to do....intervene/influence the upcoming elections. EU and 0bola...two peas in a pod.

How nice of the EU. A gun to every Israeli voter’s head before the elections.

The EU is like a dictator looking to change the focus to some foreign boogey man to get attention off of their own problems.

That is their modus operandi. Think about that in light of how they handled things “internally” after 2008.

There was a recent article detailing how the EU is actually building their own illegal settlements in Israel, ostensibly for the benefit of the so-called “Palestinians”—in Area C no less, which was deemed to be all Israeli territory per the Oslo Accords. I suspect that the EU regards it as its own territory, and it certainly begs the question as to why there were overtures in the past towards Israel in an attempt to get the Jewish state to join the EU.

Meanwhile European elite/ rulers have sold out the European nations and peoples to a huge islamoNazi invasion France, Germany even, Italy, Belgium, UK — all headed right down the rathole to an islamoNazi Hell. Who’d have ever believed such a thing could happen to these peoples?

And they are going to strike Israel REGARDLESS of the outcome of the election. This is long in the works.

This anti-Israel spirit is pervasive in EU member states with almost no Muslim population as well, remember.

The states that do have an increase in Muslim population are making that fact part of the “beneficial crisis” too.

Agreed. No matter how far left the Knesset turns, the EU will do this.

There is an awful sickness in Europe these days. And in washDC. Thank God Israel is strong. (Provided her people can overcome their internal weakness, of course ).

Arnold Fructenbaum of Ariel Ministries has researched Isaiah 28 and says it indicates that a group of liberals will take over the government in Israel and sign a treaty with Europe. The Bible calls this treaty a "covenant with death"...

Isaiah 28:14 Wherefore hear the word of the LORD, ye scornful men, that rule this people which is in Jerusalem. 15 Because ye have said , We have made a covenant with death, and with hell are we at agreement; when the overflowing scourge shall pass through , it shall not come unto us: for we have made lies our refuge, and under falsehood have we hid ourselves: 16 Therefore thus saith the Lord GOD, Behold, I lay in Zion for a foundation a stone, a tried stone, a precious corner stone, a sure foundation: he that believeth shall not make haste . 17 Judgment also will I lay to the line, and righteousness to the plummet: and the hail shall sweep away the refuge of lies, and the waters shall overflow the hiding place. 18 And your covenant with death shall be disannulled , and your agreement with hell shall not stand ; when the overflowing scourge shall pass through , then ye shall be trodden down by it.

And all these years since 1945, we thought the Euro trash had gotten over their love affair with the Nazis in Germany? Not so. Nazism lives and breathes in Brussels and the governing elites of the EU. All those years America spent saving their antisemitic butts from the Russians were wasted. Western Europe has surrendered its will and soul to the Muslim death cultists — who just happen to agree with their antisemitism. How convenient for these swine.

I don’t see how anyone could have thought that, especially since de-Nazification was just (not so) surreptitiously handed over to Adenauer in 1947 without explanation or even reason. (He declared it “over” in 1950; not completed, but “over”.)

The Euro elites brought those Muslims in to create another crisis, one intended to induce calls for a strongman leader. There is already a backlash in the works, albeit starting slowly with bans on burkas and progressing to attacks on circumcision and halal/shechita slaughter (note the almost-parallel rituals between both Jews and Muslims in the two latter cases).
