British MP Roger Helmer Slams EU’s “Dodgy” Labeling Policy

British MP Roger Helmer Slams EU’s “Dodgy” Labeling Policy

Author: Yishai Fleisher November 13, 2015 Duration: 10:58
“So to single out Israel on these very dodgy grounds as one country of many countries where we might have questions seems to me outrageous, and it is typical of the European institutions’ knee-jerk emotional reaction. They don’t think things through, and then they impose their solution on the member states. The democratically accountable governments of the member states, including Britain, have no say in this matter. We are simply told by the lords and masters in Brussels what we have to do. That is why we in Britain want to get out of the European Union.”

There's a particular energy that comes from living at the heart of a story thousands of years in the making. The Yishai Fleisher Israel Podcast channels that energy directly into your headphones, offering a raw and nuanced perspective on the nation that is both ancient and constantly being reborn. Host Yishai Fleisher brings a lifetime of unique roles to the microphone-his insights are shaped by his time as a soldier, a journalist, a biblical scholar, and a voice for communities like Hebron. This isn't just a news recap from the region; it's a deep dive into the ideas, conflicts, and spiritual currents that define modern Israeli reality. Each episode feels like a conversation that could range from the geopolitical shifts shaking the Middle East to the timeless wisdom found in a weekly Torah portion, all filtered through the lens of someone who doesn't just report on Israel, but lives its daily struggle and miracle. You'll find discussions on family, health, and Jewish thought woven into the analysis, creating a holistic picture of life there. For anyone seeking to move beyond headlines and understand the soul, the politics, and the everyday resilience of Israel, this podcast becomes an essential listen. Yishai's firsthand experience provides context that is both scholarly and street-level, making each topic immediate and deeply personal.
