Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu was caught Wednesday by a live microphone railing against the European Union’s “crazy” insistence on resolving the Israeli-Palestinian conflict as a precondition for closer ties.

Netanyahu was meeting with leaders of Poland, Hungary, the Czech Republic and Slovakia at a regional summit. Netanyahu was discussing Iran, Syria, the Islamic State group, and EU-Israel relations when some of his comments — and those of other leaders at the meeting closed to the media — were accidentally broadcast to journalists in another room.

Netanyahu also made a rare public admission that Israel has struck Iranian arms convoys in Syria bound for Hezbollah “dozens and dozens of times.”

The Israeli premier was overheard blasting the EU’s approach to Israel, saying “it’s crazy. I think it’s actually crazy” that the 28-nation bloc maintains that resolving the Israeli-Palestinian conflict must come before closer trade ties. “There is no logic here. Europe is undermining its security by undermining Israel. Europe is undermining its progress by undermining the connection with Israeli innovation because of a crazy attempt to create conditions (for peace with the Palestinians),” said Netanyahu. …

“Netanyahu was meeting with leaders of Poland, Hungary, the Czech Republic and Slovakia.”

These are the only 4 countries actively resisting the EU supported muslim invasion. It’s a good idea for them to confer with the Prime Minister of Israel. No country has more experience dealing with this abhorrent “religion”.

Nothing controversial. Western European leaders and leftists say things like this all the time. Eastern European leaders, like those he's meeting with (Poland, Hungary, Czech Republic, Slovakia) probably agree.
