Citing
Holocaust, Israel Demands ‘Strict Regulation’ of Antiwar Protests
in Europe
Push
for EU Special Commissioner to Regulate Protests
1
August, 2014
A
new Holocaust is imminent, if one is to believe Israeli MPs, who
spent the afternoon berating European officials about the growing
antiwar protests across their countries, centered on criticizing the
Israeli invasion of the Gaza Strip.
Officials
blamed “one-sided” media reports on the large number of dead
civilians in Israel’s attack, and demanded the European Union
impose “strict
regulations on the format and content” of antiwar
demonstrations going forward.
Some
of the EU officials present, notably Danish officials, insisted that
they had a right to free expression that would be abridged by the
proposed “regulations,” but Israeli officials were having none of
it, insisting that criticism of Israel was anti-Semitism in and of
itself, and that “there
is a difference between free speech and incendiary speech.”
The
Israeli proposal would see the creation of a Special Commissioner in
the European Union that would empowered to “monitor” antiwar
protesters and restrict them from portraying Israel an “an
aggressor” during its assorted invasions of Palestinian territory.
