The EU should be ashamed to lecture Israel on Democracy

 

The nation of Israel has gone through five elections in three years after leftist, EU-funded NGOs brought trumped-up corruption charges against the government of Benjamin Netanyahu.

 Now, Benjamin Netanyahu is back in office and the government finally has a stable, conservative majority to rein in an out-of-control Supreme Court which has given itself the power to strike down laws it deems ‘inappropriate’, vote out democratically elected Ministers, and nominate its own members in perpetuity.

There is nothing undemocratic about seeking to reform the Supreme Court in line with legal standards common in any EU Country.

Instead, the radical left is calling for violence and civil war, attempted to storm the Knesset during the judicial reform vote, blockaded Knesset members in their homes and threatened the Prime Minister’s wife in her hair salon last week. These radical leftist NGOs are funded by the EU and the Biden administration, as Caroline Glick revealed last week.

Israel National News revealed that protestors were being offered 70$ plus gas money via WhatsApp to blockade the only international airport in the country last week.

The EU funds NGOs that are fronts for the PFLP terror organization, pays for UNRWA school books that promote killing Jews, funds the Palestinian Authority and its “pay-for-slay” program, and funds illegal Arab settlements in Judea and Samaria, which it has the gall to refer to as “occupied territories” although they are at worst "disputed territories."

The EU should be ashamed of itself.
