The other day, the European countries in the UN Security Council blasted Israel. If I am not mistaken, they reminded the world (including Israel, if Israel is part of the world) that Israel’s settlements in occupied territories violate international law or, as people often say for simplicity, “Israel’s settlements in occupied territories are illegal.”

Well, and how did Israel respond? Apparently, Israel’s right-wing newspapers declared Europe “irrelevant” (like the Palestinians, Syrians, Turks, etc.)

You’ve got to read it. It is unbelievable! Adam Keller says it here.

”Israel vs. Europe” proclaimed banner headlines in yesterday’s newspapers. The “Israel Today” newspaper, aka Bibinews - published for our PM by philanthropist Sheldon Adelson - had an even more telling title: “Israel takes the offensive, Europe becomes irrelevant”.

Huge ads all over the country, published by the Bibi paper, say “Every Israeli has the right to get excited!”. And indeed, the promise is fully kept: What an excitement! The Battle of the Giants, Binyamin “Bibi” Netanyahu and Avigdor “Yvette” Lieberman, all by themselves, take on the whole of Europe, the English and the French and the Germans, all of them together, and smite them hip and thigh!
