According to a statement issued by the PMO, Netanyahu protested the EU’s formal positions on Israel, and accused Brussels of employing a “double standard” toward Israel.
Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu on Monday called on individual EU states to pressure the European Commission to change its “double standard” toward Israel.
Netanyahu’s call came during a meeting with visiting Estonian Foreign Minister Marina Kaljurand.
“European states need to pressure the European Commission to change its attitude toward Israel,” Netanyahu told Kaljurand, who served as Estonia’s ambassador to Israel from 2004 to 2006.
According to a statement issued by the Prime Minister’s Office, Netanyahu protested the EU’s formal positions on Israel and accused Brussels of employing a “double standard.”
The European Commission is the EU’s executive body responsible for implementing decisions and running the EU’s day-to-day business. It is based in Brussels and Luxembourg.
Netanyahu has ramped up his public criticism of the EU since it adopted a policy regarding the labeling of products from settlements last November, while carefully drawing a distinction between Israel’s good relationship with most individual EU states and its poor relationship with the Commission in Brussels.
He repeated that position during his meeting with Kaljurand.
Estonia is one of the 28 countries that makes up the EU and is considered among the more supportive states toward Israel inside EU institutions. When EU members split their vote on Israel- related matters in international forums, as they often do, it generally sides with the bloc that either votes for Israel or abstains.
Estonia was one of five EU countries that, along with the US, voted against a UNESCO Executive Board resolution in October that condemned Israeli “aggression” on the Temple Mount. Four other EU countries – Spain, Italy, France and Austria – only abstained. And in the resolution to raise the Palestinian flag at the UN, which passed last September, Estonia was among the group of 18 EU countries that abstained, while France, Belgium, Ireland, Spain and Sweden were among the 10 that voted in favor.
Last week, the EU’s foreign ministers, making up the Foreign Affairs Council, issued conclusions on the Middle East that were highly critical of Israel.
However, intervention inside the EU by countries such as Greece and Cyprus – states with which Israel has developed much closer ties over the last few of years – prevented the adoption of language that would have been even more critical.
In a related matter, Greek Prime Minister Alexis Tsipras, along with a number of his ministers, will arrive in Jerusalem on Wednesday for a government- to-government meeting.
Tsipras and Netanyahu will travel to Cyprus the following day for a tripartite meeting with Cypriot President Nicos Anastasiades.
And so it begins ~ the mourning and international sympathy begins for these primarily gentile victims. “I am Brussels” will be used to connect the international community so that it resonates with the effects of this attack, enforcing the fear of everything upon as many Westerners as will assume that burden. Remember, dear Readers, not only is it Purim, but:
EU Parliament Was Scheduled To Discuss Palestine In Brussels Today

As well, the attacks in Paris occurred the day before Paris was to discuss Palestine in a favourable light to the EU Parliament. Coincidence? Of course not. It may be nothing more than a coincidence, although it is worth returning to those sinister threats that were issued to France in 2014 by Israeli PM Netanyahu. He warned:
“It would be a grave mistake
for France to recognize Palestine
as a free and independent state.”
We can rest assured Brussels is another of Bibi’s especially deadly patented form of international extortion.The EU Parliament Building in Brussels, aka The New Tower of Babel, is close to the blast sites. That building, and its inhabitants, were being sent a very definite message; we know, without a doubt, that it was not sent on behalf of ISIS but by Netanyahu with full blessings from his masters ~ not that he needs blessings from anyone else since he is only carrying out the orders of his beloved Rebbe.
Hmmm
Like any other crime, the best way to solve it is to start with means, motive and opportunity. In other words who could physically carry out the crime and had the most to gain from it. Like so many other so called “terrorist” attacks over the last quarter of a century this one not coincidentally was perfectly timed to directly benefit not Islam or Muslim terrorist groups but Israel. Israel had the means motive and opportunity. Certainly those groups smart enough to carry out such attacks are not simultaneously stupid enough to do so at the most opportune times for their enemies……..This fact alone rules out Muslim terrorists. As for the notion that “ISIS” carried out this attack; that conclusion does have merit. Why? It is now common knowledge that “ISIS” is a creation of Israel and the US. Therefore if you accept that “ISIS” carried out the terrorist attack you must place the blame squarely on Israel. Israel and the treasonous secret factions within the US government are the primary beneficiary of this attack. It is Israel that should be held accountable here.
IT APEARS THAT THE ONLY PEOPLE THAT HAS BIG ENOUGH COJONES TO CONFRONT WITH FORCE ARE THE LEBANEASE PEOPLE, THE PARTY OF GOD, THOSE ARE REAL MEN THAT ARE NOT AFRAID OF THOSE SATANIC BASTARDS.
I JUST WISH THAT RUSSIA WOULD PROVIDE THEM WITH ENOGH WEAPONS TO CONFRONT THOSE CRIMINALS ON THEIR OWN LAND AND FINALY ERASE THEM FROM THE FACE OF PLANET EARTH AND SEND THEM STRAIGHT TO HELL WITH A ONE WAY TICKET.
Searchlight, you don’t need to shout here. We “get it” here. Big time. Most of us are supporters of Hezbollah, a rare thing in the world today. They are, indeed, men of courage, skill, experience, INTEGRITY, and dedication. No one here will ever disagree with that.
