It has been reported in the media that Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu intends to stun the world during his speech at the United Nations General Assembly on Thursday evening. Until he does or doesn't, we won't know. In the meantime, there are some things Netanyahu can tell the international community that can make a splash. He has enough bullet points in his message file, and he's always receiving more talking points. Here are a few of these possible messages:
First, Iran was already addressed by U.S. President Donald Trump in his most impressive ideological speech. The correct approach this time is to address Iran's collaborators in Europe and the collaborators of terror.
According to various reports, the leading powers of a crumbling Europe, chief among them the arrogant president of France, Emmanuel Macron, and the deflated chancellor of Germany, Angela Merkel, are establishing a financial-economic infrastructure to maintain "business as usual" with the ayatollah regime. Not only does this undermine Trump's policy; it is also a betrayal of Israel. Must we repeat that the European Union is essentially a "soft enemy" of Israel? We would expect the prime minister to put the Europeans in their place. It is Israel who is fighting the Iranians on its borders.
Some of the important countries in Europe joined together to threaten Israel over the razing of Khan al-Ahmar. The Europeans are losing their own sovereignty at home but have no qualms about infringing upon the sovereignty of Israel, which among other requirements of a democratic country is acting in accordance with the rule of law.
Moving on, the next bullet point also stems from the threats over Khan al-Ahmar and pertains to the anti-Israel strategy of undermining the Jewish state through crude intervention in its internal affairs. Trump mentioned those international bodies that have assumed the right to implement a new form of tyrannical charlatanism and oppression. The EU has a large role in this negative development, which emboldens Palestinian terror. EU foreign policy chief Federica Mogherini will leave office in 2019. She has provided material aid and encouragement to the Palestinians, who have turned the areas under their control into terrorist strongholds. She will not be held accountable for any of her actions.
The EU boasts of the peace and liberal societies that have flourished on its soil since the end of World War II. They were only able to accomplish this under an American security blanket, but they simultaneously forged a policy of surrender and appeasement toward the world of terror, toward Iran, and during the Cold War toward the Soviet Union. We should remind Macron about his complaints about Israel to Trump. In the European worldview of today, Iran is favored over Israel; Hamas is favored over the Palestinian Authority. Attacking the European Union is more difficult than attacking Iran, but it's worth a shot.
