Israeli Leader Netanyahu Slams EU Minister for Comparing Toulouse Mass Murder to Gaza Violence (Video)

Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu slammed EU Minister Catherine Ashton for comparing the targeted mass murder of Jewish children in Toulouse, France this week to the suffering of Gaza children.
Euro News reported:
In Israel politicians have reacted angrily to comments made in the wake of the shootings in Toulouse. Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has criticised what he perceives to be comparisons by EU foreign policy chief Catherine Ashton of the killings in France to deaths of children in the Gaza Strip.
“What gets me especially incensed is the comparison between the targeted slaughter of children, including the finishing off of a girl, and the surgical, defensive activities of the Israel Defence Forces that are meant to hit terrorists who use children for human shields,” he said.
It was in Brussels at a conference on Palestinian refugees where Catherine Ashton made the comments. Her spokesman denied she drew a parallel between Gaza and the deaths in Toulouse, saying her original comments were grossly distorted by a news agency.
This is what she said: “When we remember what happened in Toulouse today, when you remember what happened when I was in Norway last week a year ago, when we know what is happening in Syria, when you see what has happened in Gaza and Sderot, in different parts of the world, we remember young people and children who lose their lives.”
The Israeli Defence Minister added his voice to the diplomatic row. Ehud Barak said the grouping of the Gaza violence with the Toulouse shootings and the fighting in Syria was, “infuriating and detached from reality”. Ashton later said her comments were grossly distorted.
Police now suspect an Islamic extremist in the Jewish school massacre.
It must be nice to have a leader who defends his nation.

EU Minister Catherine Ashton must be a liberal because liberals have a way of twisting things around seemingly unable to see things for what they really are. Israel can live with its neighbors in peace. It is their neighbors who don’t want to live with them.
Redwine commented:
Netanyahu is exactly right.
This is how the intentional slaughter of Jews is different from targeting genocidal Hamas terrorists who place themselves and their rocket launchers among the civilian population:
Jonathan Sandler was the first one to be shot at short range by the killer. He was holding his son Gabriel [ed. 3 years old] in his arms. Gabriel was hit and fell to the ground and then Arieh [ed. 6 years old] followed.
According to eye-witnesses, the gun then jammed, temporarily putting a halt to the rampage but the killer swiftly changed weapons and headed into the school. He grabbed Miriam [ed. 8 year old] as she tried to escape, grasped her hair and shot her.
Then, as she bled to death on the floor, he lifted up her head and fired two additional bullets.

The scurrilous Baroness Catherine Ashton, the UN and our miserable, repugnant regime are cut of the same filthy cloth. They all need to be repudiated, excised and thrown into the trash.
Old One commented:
The highly moral self-congratulatory Eurotrash are reving up to have another holocaust. This time all the depraved so called nations of the morbid continent want in on the bloodlust of killing Jews. In the last European orgy of Jew murdering only Germany directedthe murderous horrors while the rest of the coninent collaborated or sat by silent. The Euro trash this time are not content to just kill Jews on their boodstained turf but now seem to want in on the murdering action worldwide wherever there might be a Jew.
Little do the rotting continent’s clueless elites or the its hatefilled masses realize what the islamofascist murderers of innocents have planned for them.

@#5 Adi — Where is from Arafat got his money… who facilitated Iranian nuclear program…
I give up, was it Jimmy Carter or Bill Clinton? Barack Obama gets a lot of the blame for the current state of development of the Iranian nuclear program.
Freddy commented:
As bad economies create more nationalism in places like Europe, the REASON for the creation of the Jewish state of Israel becomes apparent.
How long will it be before socialists in places like France begin to ‘crack down’ on Jews like they have in the past?

Mr. Netanyahu:
Obama agrees with the EU minister.
And his has Egypt’s back and not yours. Even if it means more unconstitutional acts on his part.
That ‘s because LOOKIE HER ANN CURRY AND MEDIA MATTER TROLLS: OBAMA IS THE MUSLIM MARXIST DICTATOR. And I got that opinion not from Fox News but from Obama himself.

BurmaShave commented:
When we remember… the pig-headed stupid resolutions and pronouncements that constantly flow like sewage from the UN and its unaccountable irresponsible self-important mega-jerks that make up the UN, it is time to abolish the UN and repatriate the tyrants’ henchmen back to their hellholes. As for EU Minister Catherine Ashton, she should be required to do something useful for the rest of her life, like bagging groceries.
The UN’s principle role is to undermine democracy and to defend tyranny under the pretense that it promotes peace – the kind of peace that tyrants and dictators like and effect.

It is dé·jà vu! Liberals blame Sarah Palin in wake of Tucson shooting but something is different very different.
Netanyahu IS a leader, he is definitely NO OBAMA. And he will set them in their place.

Precisely my thought every time I compare Israel’s patriotic leader to our America-hating non-leader.

that’s the only way they can appease their conscience in the face of the
harsh reality they are trying to escape from because it does not fit in with
their ideological utopian matrix.. if there is no good vs evil, then all is good

All I can say is if Europe were to erupt in war ever again, I don’t want one drop of American blood to save these bigots. Let the Palestinians come save them.

re Jimmy Carter
‘His administration was known for its disastrous economic policies and its weak, appeasement-oriented foreign policy
Carter’s “positive inducements” and warnings about America’s “inordinate fear of Communism” led the Soviets and Cubans to believe the Third World was fair game. Though Carter would later praise himself for “establishing diplomatic relations” with Cuba in 1977, that policy consisted of standing by as Castro kept Cuban soldiers fighting in Angola and sent 16,000 more to Ethiopia.
Carter cut off aid to El Salvador, which was fighting a Communist insurgency, but gave more than $90 million in aid to the Marxist Nicaraguan Sandinistas. He soon halted diplomatic recognition of U.S. allies in Taiwan and recognized Beijing in their place. Though he declared that “human rights is the soul of our foreign policy,” he showered accolades upon Tito, Ceausescu, Ortega, and Kim il-Sung (the last, after his presidency).
Meanwhile, Carter’s brother Billy tried to open trade relations with Libya in 1978 after depositing a generous $220,000 “loan” from Mu’ammar Qadhafi. Billy Carter registered as an agent of a foreign government two years later.
On September 7, 1977, President Carter signed the Panama Canal Treaty, which pledged to relinquish control of this vital strategic checkpoint to Panama by the year 2000. But in 1997, President Bill Clinton awarded a 25- to 50-year contract to Hutchinson Whampoa Ltd., a Hong Kong-based shipping firm with ties to Communist China’s government and its People’s Liberation Army. The contract authorized Hutchinson to control the two major ports on the Panama Canal’s Atlantic and Pacific entrances.
Noting the ominous implications of this, Richard Poe observed, “China can now strike U.S. targets easily from their bases in Panama, Vancouver and the Bahamas.”
President Carter’s CIA chief Stansfield Turner gutted the Central Intelligence Agency in the late 1970s, cutting 820 human intelligence positions. Without assets of its own, the CIA had to rely heavily on the intelligence agencies of foreign governments. This had enormous repercussions on American national security.
For example, on New Year’s Eve 1977, Carter toasted the Shah’s Iran as “an island of stability in one of the more troubled areas of the world … [due] to the respect, admiration and love which your people give to you.” Eight months later, the CIA issued the report Iran in the 1980s, in which Carter’s intelligence experts surmised, “Iran is not in a revolutionary or even a ‘prerevolutionary’ situation.” As tensions mounted, Carter withdrew U.S. support from the Shah, turning Iran into a beacon of hope for jihadists around the world. Before admitting the exiled Shah to America, Carter accepted Iranian guarantees that the U.S. embassy in Tehran could be kept secure — one of the costliest miscalculations in the history of American foreign policy. As the subsequent 14-month-long hostage crisis dragged on, Carter ultimately agreed to pay a ransom of $8 billion (of which Iran netted $3 billion), although Ronald Reagan’s toughness and resolution was the decisive factor in ending the crisis.
Carter’s presidency was the lowest point of American prestige in modern history. The missteps he made during those critical years continue to threaten the United States and the West.
Without Carter’s policies, the Iran-Iraq war would not have raged for nearly a decade; the United States would not have had to form an unsavory alliance of convenience with Saddam Hussein, in order to hem in the mullahs of Iran; Hezbollah would not have received $100-$200 million per year from Tehran’s coffers; al-Qaeda would not have received training in Iran in 1992; and Iran’s nuclear ambitions, if they existed, would have been of no consequence to the West.
Carter has been one of the leading public figures promoting official recognition of Hamas. On one occasion he traveled to Damascus to meet with a number of terrorist leaders, including Khaled Mash’al, the exiled Hamas leader.
In December 2006 Kenneth Stein, a professor of Israeli Studies at Emory University and the first Executive Director of the Carter Center, stepped down from his position at the Center and issued a resignation letter in which he described Jimmy Carter as an incompetent, a liar, and a fraud.’…
Sounds familiar, eh?
