Following the International Criminal Court's decision to investigate alleged Israeli war crimes, the right-wing My Israel movement has launched a new campaign that aims to expose European governments' interference in Israel's domestic affairs.

In a video posted to promote the "When the Europeans laugh, we cry" campaign, Tuesday, European diplomats are seen laughing and chuckling at remarks made by Israeli politicians on domestic affairs. Among the remarks derided by the Europeans in the campaign clip are Defense Minister Benny Gantz's statement that Israel "will act to impose sovereignty on the Jordan Valley" and Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's assertion that "we will fight for the truth until we cancel this outrageous ruling" in response to the ICC decision.
According to the My Israel movement, European officials fund Israeli organizations that work to change government policy on a number of issues.
Sarah Haetzni Cohen, the chairwoman of My Israel, said, "The time has come to stop the European foreign interference in Israel's domestic affairs. Together with foreign money and massive funding of Israeli organizations, the Europeans influence Israel's agenda by blatantly intervening in Israel's sovereignty. This is madness that no other country would accept. We say to Europe's governments: Israel is not your colony."
