Related: About this forumNetanyahu pulls out doomsday weapon again
http://www.ynetnews.com/articles/0,7340,L-4605122,00.htmlAfter the decision to call early Knesset elections was announced, European diplomats in Israel issued a recommendation to their supervisors to watch what they say about the Israeli prime minister.
The reason for their warning was clear. "Public criticism will only help Benjamin Netanyahu," they wrote. "The prime minister will respond firmly in an attempt to prove to his voters that he is the only one protecting Israel's vital interests against the world."
The series of decisions made Wednesday around the continent, reflecting many Europeans' support for the establishment of a Palestinian state, prove that the European Union is not intimidated by Israeli politicians' threats.
And surely enough, Netanyahu responded as expected and pulled out his doomsday weapon: The Holocaust, and mainly thuropean responsibility for the murder of the Jewish people.
