Ideological signaling from European governments is making many Israeli-European alliances untenable, and it will ultimately be the continent's detriment.
The left in general refuses to even acknowledge reality. Same with the Israeli left actually. Funny they forget that the Mullahs and progressives worked together to bring down the Shah and once they succeeded the Mullahs killed all the progressives. Will they ever learn?
The left cares zip about reality. They only care about power which they lust for . Their pseudo sophistication and the Americans who drool over it are puke
Vanessa, excellent article. What strikes me is that this isn’t just about Europe becoming an unreliable ally for Israel. From where I sit—and I don’t claim to have statistics to back this up—it seems many European governments have effectively adopted the Marxist-Islamist playbook, and in the process they’re undermining their own societies. The irony is that the forces Israel is fighting today are the very same forces Europe will eventually have to confront themselves. At some point there will likely be a backlash, because societies can only push things so far before reality intrudes. In the meantime, Israel simply has to be pragmatic—strengthen ties with countries like India, and others in Asia, and approach alliances more transactionally. Europe may wake up eventually, but right now it looks more like it’s imploding.
Europeans are simply incapable of letting Jews live. European Jew-hatred is the ultimate systemic/institutional racism. It is beyond that. It is PATHOLOGICAL, a sickness that mentally and physically infects and destroys both the individual European and the overall society.
Israel must do the following:
1) Sever diplomatic relations with those nations where the hatred is so extreme as to make them nations no longer worth engaging. This has already been done with Ireland; but should also be done with several other nations
2) Expel most European media from Israel. They are nothing more than modern day Der Stuermer on steroids.
3) Expel European NGOs.
4) Make clear to Europeans that if they will not defend their Jews, that Israel will. If that means clandestinely sending in Israeli forces under cover, then so be it.
5) Let the present trade pact with the EU expire or announce a timetable for leaving it. Make deals with individual nations.
6) Through quiet back channels, let the Europeans know that if Israel faces extinction, the Samson Option will be applied to Europe as well as the Middle East.
European governments are toothless paper tigers desperately trying to convince themselves they have any international influence. They’re a pathetic bunch lacking vision and decisiveness, completely alienated from their people. Their sanctimonious righteousness is a charade and Israel should say good riddance.
'Europe' is not thousands of kilometers from Tel Aviv; it is only 372 km to Nicosia. It is therefore in mutual interest not to rely too heavily on alliances with Farawayistan. It can be said of the current American administration that it is characterized by a certain capriciousness. Before you know it, Nick Fuentes could be the next American President; while the confederative structure of the EU indeed does not yield a particularly decisive and clear foreign policy but the rule of law proves to be better safeguarded than in the American Republic. With the probable accession of Ukraine to the Confederation and possibly the UK in due course, a partner with nearly 600 million inhabitants would also be a welcome counterweight for Israel against possible American meddling
It is also clear to me that at the moment the USA is aligned with Israel although there is plenty of antisemitism here.I do believe that co-ordinating with Israel in the war against Iran is not only to protect the rest of the world against radical Islam but in effect America & President Trump are protecting Israel.Democrats (I am one of them) need to see this.
Europe is a civilization that has been antisemitic in its bones — emotionally, culturally, institutionally — for a thousand years. The Holocaust wasn't an aberration. It was the logical conclusion of something that was always.
Nothing has changed. Today Europe imports populations that openly celebrate Jewish slaughter, then hides behind "complexity" when its Jews flee or get beaten in the streets. No enforcement. No consequences. No protection. Just the same ancient indifference as a result of inbred hatred.
And Israel? Every war. Every single war fought for bare survival — Europe has diplomatically, financially, and morally backed the other side. Every time.
So Israel should stop asking permission from people who have never, in a thousand years, actually wished Jews well.
Realign. Fully. Loudly. Not just defense — semiconductors, AI, cybersecurity, agriculture, medical technology, water systems. Every sector where Israeli genius currently props up European comfort. Build it with India, the Gulf states, Latin America, Southeast Asia. Compete directly. Cut Europe out systematically and methodically until its industries feel the weight of what they discarded. Put the EU out of business!
Canada is following the same script. Treat it accordingly.
Europe made its position clear across ten centuries. Israel should finally believe it.
And diaspora Jews floating through Europe eating croissants in the Marais, romanticizing the cobblestones and the café culture — wake up. The Jewish family who owned that bakery for three generations is under siege. They are preparing for forced aliyah because staying is no longer survivable. You are touring a slow-motion expulsion and calling it a vacation. Quit giving the EU your money.
"So much of Europe today is drifting into something narrower and more brittle: an ideological bloc that increasingly defines legitimacy through adherence to a specific leftist worldview." Not surprised at this. With all the Islamists that the Europeans have allowed to enter their countries it follows that anti-semitism has increased and politicians there are pandering to these unassimilated masses. As to the US, we should leave NATO and let the Europeans destroy themselves without our help. Two world wars are enough and the US should remove our miltary, our money, and let them defend, if that's even possible, themselves. Israel is, in my mind, a reliable partner which the other Arab states are starting, finally, to realize. Finally, if the Mad Mullahs aren't removed the entire region will continue to have to deal with their Mahdist apocalyptic insanity.
Agreed. Vanessa is totally right. Europe is becoming less and less relevant. And unlike, the US where Trump mentions the safety of US citizens living in Israel, you don't hear that concern coming from European countries, unless I'm missing something.
The Europeans have never treated Israel as a normal nation and Israel, by taking their insults and depredations, has never behaved like a normal country. Recent Israeli diplomatic actions against Spain are the least of it. Insult must be met with consequences. That includes recalling and expelling ambassadors as a starting point. Boycotts and other punitive actions are further options.
The United States, under Trump, is also facing European alienation; not because of the US, but because Europe has proven to be an unreliable and weak bunch of "allies." Trump is thinking of leaving NATO (we should leave because NATO is useless and Turkey shouldn't even be a member!). Europe is in rapid decline and turning more and more Islamist. Good riddance.
Great post. Reminds me of the movie, back to the future, but in this case, it's the Time Machine, Eurabia has reverted to the millennial habits of Europe, persecution of the Jews.
Looking back in history, the conquest of the Americas, African slavery, the Aboriginals of Australia, I would say that the last Europeans are the last ones that have a right to preach to us.
On the other hand, Jews today have an option, a safe house 🏠, what they did not have for 2,000 years. We welcome our brothers and sisters to come home.

Love the way you phrase that!

Excellent ideas.

Step forward - the Western world.

To be more blunt, they are ENEMIES. It's time Israel cut Europe off at the knees, no more intelligence or technological sharing.

Bullies like EU seek out a smaller power to target with the hate and condescension

Right on Vanessa! Thank you! 🤸♂️🥂⭐
They have rejected faith and replaced it Islam. Hmmm is that a faith?
