PM tells visiting Romanian President Werner Iohannis (click here) that Israel is a "beacon of democracy" that protects the world from dangers such as Iran, ISIS.
Israel is a beacon of democracy that protects Europe and the entire world from the dangers of Iran, Islamic State and a radicalized Middle East, Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu told visiting Romanian President Klaus Werner Iohannis on Monday.
Where does Netanyahu think he is going with this? He refuses to meet with the USA and then courts Europe.
Trudeau is correct and every country approached by Israel needs to take the same policy. Embrace Israel but make it emphatically known the peace process is not an option.

The town of Quarnbek (click here) in northern Germany is demanding reimbursement to the tune of 1,263 euros for extracting the vehicle of two “Israeli agents,” ostensibly members of the Mossad, who got stuck in the mud.
A report about this strange incident, which took place in mid-December 2015, was broadcast Saturday on Germany's NDR television station.
According to the report, the story ostensibly involved two armed members of the Israeli espionage agency – thought to have been dispatched to monitor the transfer of a German submarine from the North Sea port of Kiel to Israel – who got stuck in the mud in their Ford Focus on the banks of the Kiel Canal....
Perhaps Germany needs to put the submarine on hold for now to bring Israel to the peace table.
I think the UN Security Council needs to convene. Unfortunately, Netanyahu is not giving anyone choice to end hostilities.

Israel is a beacon of democracy that protects Europe and the entire world from the dangers of Iran, Islamic State and a radicalized Middle East, Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu told visiting Romanian President Klaus Werner Iohannis on Monday.
“When you look at the Middle East there isn’t one country, a beacon of freedom, of democracy, of human rights, that protects not only itself, but by so doing protects everyone else, including Europe.
“It is this basic understanding that we want to impart to our European friendship,” Netanyahu said. The two men made brief statements to the press at the start of their meeting in Netanyahu’s office....

Prime Minister Justin Trudeau (click here) says Canada will be a frank voice in the Middle East, even if that means criticizing a friend and ally in Israel.
Trudeau made the remarks Monday at a global town hall hosted by The Huffington Post Canada, dedicated entirely to foreign policy. Paul Darlaston, a HuffPost reader, asked the prime minister why he appeared unwilling to differentiate his government from the past Conservative leadership by calling out Israeli actions that "block the peace process."...
This is the perfect response to Israeli paranoia.
