  • Most European far right parties are backed by israel

    2021 - Far-Right Parties in Europe Have Become Zionism’s Greatest Backers

    Last year, Yair Netanyahu, son of former Israeli prime minister Benjamin Netanyahu, became the literal poster boy for the German right-wing party Alternative für Deutschland (AfD).

    Netanyahu’s eldest son had provoked controversy when he called for the abolition of the “evil” European Union, which, he argued, was an enemy to Israel and “all European Christian countries.”

    Far-right support for Israel is not unique to Germany but is developing across Europe. Alongside the AfD’s Alice Weidel, far-right leaders like Geert Wilders in the Netherlands, Marine Le Pen in France, Nigel Farage in the UK, and Viktor Orbán in Hungary have all openly sided with Israel.

    A major difference here is that during WW2 the rockets were unguided and fully relied on fuel-weight calculations. These ballistic missiles are GPS guided and don’t suffer from all of the unknown factors.

    There is certainly a case to be made for secrecy, though it’s more likely they don’t want to let Iran know whether F35’s, tanks or other military equipment were hit. Israel already claimed they “intercepted the majority of projectiles” but the videos don’t really corroborate that. Similar to the Hamas “limited ground operation” last year israel tries to hide all evidence and then crafts their own story of what happened.
