Liberman blasts Europe for over involvement in Israel, ignoring Iran
Defense Minister Avigdor Liberman criticizes European countries for what he claims is their over involvement in internal Israeli politics while ignoring the Iranian government’s systemic human rights violations.
“European countries allow themselves to become involved in internal Israeli affairs including the protection of our borders, but they have no problem in giving money to the Ayatollah regime that puts an 18-year-old girl in prison for dancing without a head covering,” Liberman tweets.
“If they were a little more upstanding and a little less hypocritical they would cut off all contact with the oppressive, murderous regime of Khamenei and his partners,” he says.
