I am posting this, in order to show how the "blame Israel first" and "If only Israel would" policies of the EU are perceived. Whether or not the EU has good intentions or not is hardly the point. They are making themselves both untrusted and irrelevant.  (and of course if I post this, I give one of out posters the opportunity to tell me I am anti-Europe, which is always funSmile

Europe united against Israel

Op-ed: Europe’s failure to run its own affairs doesn’t stop it from constantly interfering in Israel’s affairs

BERLIN – Just when the vision, or delusion, of Europe’s unity is facing a grave reality test, it’s amazing to see how one issue manages to unite the failing, disintegrating European bureaucracy: The grudge toward Israel.
. . .
Almost not a day goes by without the office of “foreign minister” Catherine Ashton or the EU “embassy” in Israel issuing a condemnation of Israeli actions in the West Bank, Gaza Strip or inside Israel.
. . .
For a long time now, the Europeans have not been protesting only matters pertaining to the occupation; rather, they are working methodically to undermine the very existence of Israel as an independent Jewish state.
. . .
EU adopts Arab formula

An absurd situation has been created whereby the European Union, which cannot manage its own affairs efficiently, is working with great determination to decide for Israel how it should behave.
. . .
 
Meanwhile, the Europeans are pouring huge sums of money into the Palestinian Authority without a hint of criticism about Palestinian actions. Senior EU officials refrain from meeting with Israel’s foreign minister, yet preach for dialogue with Hamas. And in at a time where the Middle East is burning because of endless violations of human rights, condemnations are constantly being issued against Israel.
. . .
It appears that the Europeans have been taken captive by the Arab magic formula, whereby . . . making Israel capitulate to Arab demands – will bring peace and stability
. . .
If someone in Brussels is truly interested in fruitful, mutual relations with Israel, which has much to offer, they should start to change their approach.

Dos,


Let's face it. You won't believe that the Jews don't control Europe until they are being rounded up and put into concentration camps. And then you will probably assume that it is just a Jewish conspiracy to make the Europeans look bad.
