After Netanyahu orders to suspend diplomatic contact with EU, NGO calls to go a step further and stop rampant EU breach of law.
Following Prime Minister Binyamin Netanyahu’s orders on Sunday night to suspend diplomatic contact with the European Union (EU), an NGO has called to destroy the illegal Arab settlements funded by the EU.
Netanyahu’s orders were a response to the EU decision to label Jewish products from over the 1949 Armistice lines – Judea, Samaria, eastern Jerusalem and the Golan Heights. The move is to be in affect until the Foreign Ministry completes a reassessment of ties with the EU vis-a-vis the political process with the Palestinian Arabs.
The Regavim movement for Jewish land rights called on Netanyahu to go a step further, and enforce building laws by demolishing the illegal Arab buildings in Judea and Samaria that are funded directly by the EU.
Regavim noted how in recent years it has documented massive illegal Arab construction funded by the EU in Area C of Judea and Samaria, a group of regions defined in the 1994 Oslo Accords as being under full Israeli control.
According to official documents, since 2009 the EU has built hundreds of residential structures mostly in the environs of Ma’ale Adumim to the east of Jerusalem.
The EU has been funding illegal projects to the tune of hundreds of millions of euros as part of its support to the Palestinian Authority (PA), despite the fact that such construction is illegal both according to Israeli and international law, and breaches international agreements such as the Oslo Accords – which the EU is itself a signatory to.
“On the one hand the European Union is labeling Israeli products in a way that recalls dark periods of history, and on the other it is building illegally on an incredible scale, while continuing to hold Israel and its laws in contempt,” read a statement from Regavim.
“The hypocrisy is double here, and the time has come to stop it,” it continued. “The legal authorities must conduct clear and direct enforcement against the phenomenon.”
The EU labeling move has been strongly condemned by Israel, particularly as the EU has made no such move in roughly 200 other cases of territorial disputes worldwide, instead solely singling out the Jewish state.
Netanyahu’s new order specifically targets EU institutions, although diplomatic contact with member states of the EU continues on an individual basis.
It is astounding that Israel has not assasinated Abbas for his part in these dastardly crimes.
Here is the proper response to Abbas, to include his family, sons and tribes. they prosper while the wives and children of the Jewish hostages suffer in never ending pain. revenge should be taken on more than the direct players.
I completely agree with Trump even though the PC crowd will whine and wail. Instead of taking revenge, BB shakes his hand and allows him and his sons to get rich while the victims families suffer.

the following should not be forgotten, and how the investigation did not get the security cameras for days after jumping immediatley on a lynch mob bandwagon. Short memories regarding unanswered obvious fishy stories are what the corrupt rely upon to distract the suckers.
Is Sau a member of the BB, Yaalon, Rivlin, Erdan lynch mob that libeled Jewish settlers with murder with no evidence…. thus causing the current intifada of revenge burnings and stabbings? Is he part of a cover up to distract Israelis from seeing that BB, Yaalon, Rivlin and Erdan are incompetents, willful negligents Who are directly responsible for the current wave of revenge burnings and stabbings?
Does anyone believe they will present any evidence which proves them wrong, liars, libelers, inciters to anti semitic murder?
In the least they should all resign for incompetence of leadership and involuntary manslaughter.
What I am curious of is WHO in the likud,BY and 2 religious parties forming the current coalition wish to continue the status quo at the MOunt and to continue to obstruct Jewish settlement in YS… other than BB?
IN return for their perks and draft evasion what did the religious parties promise to BB… it doesnt look like they promised to support a right wing agenda at the Mount and in YS… and BB has never put such an agenda forth for their support.
mar55 Said:
the more that BB is made transparent the less he will be able to fool folks and the less chance of him making the same moves he has been making. But there appears to be no one to his right that is capable of blocking his agenda which mainly consists of doing nothing, maintaining a status quo which the right who elected him wanted rid of.
@ bernard ross:
Bernard, I know you are usually right in these matters. This time I hope you are wrong. I have been waiting for so long to see anyone with what it takes to do something radical that will get the attention of the EU and the rest of the world. Not one government official from any country respect Obama. It is happening the same with BB.
I hope for Israel sake someone will take the bull by the horns and do what it is necessary. Acting instead of words.
Bear Klein Said:
NO, you always get your hopes up when BB makes his announcements but later you are always disappointed.
actually it only regards contacts in respect to the “peace process”. Its a red herring and will soon fade away.
sometimes I wonder if the Israeli electorate is more foolish than the american electorate who voted a guy named hussein as their president after 911:
Yes but did Regavim and other Israelis, especially those who voted for BB, notice that
this all went on under BB’s rule and continued after it was exposed the public. DUH??????????????????????????????
Obviously BB colluded with the euros to keep it quiet…. that is why I say that all his “suspension of contacts” is ineffectual and meant for the consumption of those dummies who always buy his rhetoric and narratives and never notice that nothing happened.
It is about time Israel do something to defend itself from all the LIES spread by the EU and NGO to build in the areas of Judea and Samaria as justification for the invented victim hood by the PA. Created by the criminal Arafat. A false narrative that has given the EU and excuse to constantly break the law to the detriment of the Jewish State. Enough is enough. Tell them to spend their money supporting the vermin arriving in their countries.
Google Ramallah’s newest movie theater and see how Japan and Switzerland spent 38 million euros to build a 18 million euro movie theater that no one uses .The construction was done by Abbas’s sons and according to Jane Defense Journal these 2 parasites stole 20 million dollars .The theater is used for high level PLO planning and terrorist activities .Not one word from the EU . It’s time to destroy the 50 to 60 illegal buildings built with no permit and have become a beacon of terrorist training and weapons depot .How pathetic millions of Europeans are on the poverty line and their leaders spend hundreds of millions on Palestinian terrorism .
Crash, bang, boom, I hear the smashing of the illegal Pali houses!
While we are at it jail and deport terrorists. Deport their families and supporters plus blow up their houses.
Land belonging to terrorist families shall be legally seeded to the Jewish Trust.
They will soon.
Not going to happen. With unJews at the held demolitions apply only to Jewish homes, farms, Synagogues and more.
