Europe criticizes Israel over legislation on terrorism
Arutz Sheva ^ | 9/3/18 | Elad Benari

The European Union (EU) on Friday issued a sharply worded statement in which it criticized the law that was approved this week in the Knesset, which allows the permanent residency of terrorists to be revoked.

“This week, the Israeli Knesset adopted legislation which empowers the Israeli Minister of Interior to revoke the permanent residency status of persons involved in terrorism, treason or espionage,” the statement said.

While the EU stressed it “rejects terrorism in all its forms”, it warned that “the new law could make the residency status of Palestinians in East Jerusalem, a protected population under International Humanitarian Law, even more precarious than it already is today. The new law could be used to further compromise the Palestinian presence in East Jerusalem, which would further undermine the prospects of a two-state solution.”

“In line with international law, the European Union does not recognize Israel’s sovereignty over the territories occupied by Israel since June 1967, including East Jerusalem, and does not consider them to be part of Israel’s territory, irrespective of their legal status under domestic Israeli law,” it said.

“The European Union will closely monitor if and how this new law is applied to Palestinians in East Jerusalem,” the statement concluded.

Maybe it’s time for the U.S.A. to occupy Europe and start running it. But after thinking about Europe for a few seconds, maybe not. That could lead to getting more cooties from Europe. Yuk.

Two times the US had to bail out Europe in the course of one century. Let them save themselves already.

Last time, we had war declared on us; it wasn’t a case of riding to anyone’s rescue, but achieving victory. And allowing them to become a threat again would be the biggest mistake we could ever make.

“In line with international law, the European Union does not recognize Israel’s sovereignty over the territories occupied by Israel since June 1967, including East Jerusalem, and does not consider them to be part of Israel’s territory, irrespective of their legal status under domestic Israeli law,” it said.”


So when Trans-Jordan invaded the area occupying Judea, Samaria, and Jerusalem in 1948, where were the European nations then? Where were they when Trans-Jordan destroyed Jewish graveyards, synagogues, and Jewish homes trying to wipe out any evidence that Jews had lived in Jerusalem and the surrounding area since the time of David?

That area had been promised to the Jews when Trans-Jordan was created out of the Palestinian Mandate, but Trans-Jordan along with the Arab League invaded and tried to wipe the Jews permanently out of their ancestral land.

The banner is being raised and the nations opposed to Israel are gathering. The fulfillment of Ezekiel 38 is galloping toward its conclusion. Maranatha.

Europe, who was responsible for millions of Jews being murdered in unspeakable ways, has NOTHING to say to Israel, who is absolutely justified in revoking citizenship of those who seek to harm her citizens. Europe, you Muzzlime-loving nest of nancy-boys, shut the heck UP. And drop dead.

Europe should consider the same thing. The hurdles, an amendment, should be too high, but so should the US.
