After Golan criticism, Bennett says Israel will protect EU ‘even though you don’t deserve it’
2019-03-28
[IsraelTimes] Education Minister Naftali Bennett responds to the EU condemnation of the US recognition of Israeli illusory sovereignty over the Golan Heights, telling the bloc of 28 nations "shame on you."

"The Golan Heights, and Jerusalem and the land of Israel has been the home of the Jewish people thousands of years before La Belle France was the home of the French and the UK the home of the British so we will continue building our amazing country," he says in a video posted on Twitter. "We’ll continue defending the free world from radical Islam even though you don’t deserve it."

In an earlier statement, EU member states unanimously rejected the US recognition of Israeli illusory sovereignty over the Golan, saying the shift in longstanding American foreign policy was not in keeping with international law.

Trump formally signed the proclamation alongside Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu on Monday, reversing more than a half-century of US policy in the Middle East. The US is the first country to recognize Israel’s illusory sovereignty over the Golan, which the rest of the international community regards as occupied territory.

14 Out Of 15 UNSC Member States Condemn Israeli Sovereignty On Golan: But no formal vote was taken. The US, which is one of five UNSC permanent members with veto power, would have thwarted any such action.

#4  Russia and China are especially laughable. One could make the case that in France and Great Britain's cases, the locals would vote to remain with their "colonial" power, where that is probably not the case in the Golan Heights (I have my doubts, honestly, but one could argue that). But There is no way that Russia could honestly maintain a hold of all of its territory without its iron grip, nor China over Tibet without the same.
