THE CZECH REPUBLIC’S ENDURING RELATION WITH ISRAEL…….

 

Right now The Czech Republic and Canada are the shining lights within the West.

I know this personally from many Israeli embassy staffers, that there are a few staunchly pro-Israel governments in the West, and the just mentioned rank at the top. The Finns to my dismay, appear to be in a slow spiral towards a more ”Scandinavian approach” towards the Jewish state. Only time will tell just how entrenched this new and highly un-Finnish mindset is.

Czech-Israeli Relations: An Enduring Friendship

December 26, 2012 By Joseph Puder 

Sixty-five years ago, on November 29, 1947, the UN General Assembly (UNGA) voted to partition Palestine into Arab and Jewish states and on that same day in 2012 the Palestinians pushed UNGA to resurrect the very state they refused to accept in 1947, simply because it would have meant accepting a Jewish state as well.  This time, however, the vote was to accept Palestine at the UN with the status of a Non-Member Observer State.  An overwhelming majority – 138 out of 193 countries – voted yes, while only nine countries rejected the Palestine gambit, including the U.S., Canada, and the Czech Republic.  The Czechs, in 1947 (as the former Czechoslovakia) and now, voted with the Jewish State.

The Czech Republic was the only member of the European Union (EU) to vote with Israel and the U.S., and has had, through the years, a warm and friendly relationship with both the U.S. and Israel, albeit, not during the Communist interval when it was compelled to join the Soviet Bloc in displaying hostility toward Israel and America.  Thomas Masaryk, the first Czechoslovak president of this organic democratic nation that incorporates Bohemia and Moravia, was a lifelong friend of the Jews, and a supporter of the Zionist movement and of the Jewish state.  Masaryk was the first head of state to visit British Palestine in 1927.  In recognition of this friendship, Israel has honored Masaryk by naming a village after him as well as streets in their major cities.
