Israel blows off the Europeans
Israel has
dismissed criticism from Britain, France, Germany and Portugal of its plans to build in Beitar Ilit, Givat Zev and Har Homa (pictured).
Israel on Wednesday harshly rejected criticism of its settlement activities and settler violence toward Palestinians levied against it by Britain, France, Germany and Portugal a day earlier.
...
"If instead of contributing to the stability of the Middle East, they invest efforts in inappropriately bickering with a country with a law and justice system that knows how to deal with lawbreakers, then they are losing their credibility and making themselves irrelevant," the Foreign Ministry stated in response to the European criticism.
The statement added that the UN Security Council would be better served to concentrate on violence in Syria and Iran's nuclear program.
People who don't live here may have a hard time imagining just how irrelevant we Israelis consider the UN as a result of its ingrained bias against us. I don't know anyone here who takes anything the UN says seriously.
