Europe showed ‘moral weakness’ by not backing Iran war – Netanyahu

Israeli undercoat government minister Benjamin Netanyahu has said Europe has forgotten the lessons of domain state of war II and the final solution, as he criticized European nations for not supporting the war with Iran.
Many European countries, including the UK, France, and Germany, have rejected US President Donald Trump’s call to help unblock the Strait of Hormuz, which Iran closed to “enemy ships” following the US-Israeli attack on February 28.
Speaking on Holocaust Remembrance Day on Monday, Netanyahu described Europeans as ungrateful and argued that by waging war on Iran, the US and Israel were “defending Europe.”
“Europe, which has forgotten so much since the Holocaust, can learn many things from us, primarily the sharp distinction between good and evil, which, in the moment of truth, requires us to go to war for the sake of good, for the sake of life,” Netanyahu said.
“Europe, which vowed after World War II to defend the good, is infested today with a deep moral weakness. Europe is losing control over its identity, its values, and its commitment to protect civilization from barbarism,” he added.
Iran has condemned the war as unprovoked aggression and has vowed to defend its “sovereign right” to enrich uranium for peaceful purposes.
On Sunday, Trump ordered a naval blockade of the Strait of Hormuz after Pakistani-mediated US-Iran talks failed to produce a peace deal.
