Dutch leader tells Israel to 'ignore UN and continue building'
Arutz Sheva ^ | 26/12/16 | Yoel Domb

Leading Dutch politician Geert Wilders has criticized US president Barack Obama for not vetoing the Security Council resolution against Israel on Friday and advised Israel to ignore the UN resolution.

Wilders, the founder and leader of the Dutch Freedom Party, who has dominated Dutch polls during the year of 2016, wrote on his Facebook page:"Obama betrayed Israel. Thank God for Trump. My advise to my Israeli friends: ignore the UN and keep building more and more settlements."

Wilders was voted politician of the year 2016 when 40,000 people participated in the annual public election held by Dutch TV-show ‘EenVandaag’. He is known for his sharp criticism of Islam and his outspoken support for Israel.

Wilders lived in Israel for two years during his youth, working on a moshav, and has visited the country 40 times in the last 25 years.

Wilders has stated about Israel: "I have visited many interesting countries in the Middle East – from Syria to Egypt, from Tunisia to Turkey, from Cyprus to Iran – but nowhere did I have the special feeling of solidarity that I always get when I land at Ben Gurion International Airport." Wilders told audiences in Holland that "We [in the West] are all Israel".

When I worked for a Dutch company back in the 1999-2001 time frame, the people there absolutely hated the unchecked Muslim immigration being promoted by the EU.

If the UN goes up against Israel, it is the UN that will break. Believe it.

“For they intended evil against thee: they imagined a mischievous device, which they are not able to perform.” Psalm 21:11

“Beat your plowshares into swords and your pruninghooks into spears: let the weak say, I am strong.

Assemble yourselves, and come, all ye heathen, and gather yourselves together round about: thither cause thy mighty ones to come down, O Lord. Let the heathen be wakened, and come up to the valley of Jehoshaphat: for there will I sit to judge all the heathen round about.

Put ye in the sickle, for the harvest is ripe: come, get you down; for the press is full, the fats overflow; for their wickedness is great.

Multitudes, multitudes in the valley of decision: for the day of the Lord is near in the valley of decision.” Joel 3:10-14

Agreed. I read that somewhere...

Oh, yeah, the Bible.

Zechariah 14:2-3

2 For I will gather all nations against Jerusalem to battle; and the city shall be taken, and the houses rifled, and the women ravished; and half of the city shall go forth into captivity, and the residue of the people shall not be cut off from the city.

3 Then shall the Lord go forth, and fight against those nations, as when he fought in the day of battle.

Israel has a nation and a territory; they only need to fight to keep it.

Now, the Dutch also need a country. And they can have one, if and only if they are ready to fight to keep it.

Kudos to the Dutch- it’s good to see common sense and human decency being displayed - countries that do so these days are far and few between unfortunately- I hope the Dutch stand strong with Israel

I hope this guy has a lot of protection. He is one of the few voices of sanity in Europe.

I think the Dutch might end up being our best friend from Europe. Their culture over the last 500 years has been based on trading with the world. They know a good trading partner in the U.S. They are quite financially conservative as well. A fairly wealthy country for it’s size.

"Hey, my ancestors are Dutch."

My father was born in Holland in 1904, and came to this country as a little boy with his parents and two brothers. Back in 2006, I was lucky enough to visit the village he was born in with my oldest son. It's an experience I will never forget. I wish now I'd had more time to spend there.

He discredits his enemies and strengthens his cause by going to jail.
