Excerpt from this day’s program:
…Yesterday in Brussels, the EU foreign ministers under the direction of the erstwhile Young Communist Federica Mogherini resolved that “The EU reiterates its strong opposition to Israel’s settlement policy and actions taken in this context, such as building the separation barrier beyond the 1967 line, demolitions and confiscations — including of EU funded projects – evictions, forced transfers including of Bedouins, illegal outposts, settler violence and restriction of movement and access.” What a bill of indictment. The statement also concluded that “these actions seriously threaten the two-state solution.” And there was only one sentence in which the foreign ministers said, “Recent rocket fire from Gaza by militant groups is unacceptable and underlines against the danger of escalation.” You got that? Pinning the tail on the donkey, Israel is stuck with a laundry of crimes, but as for its antagonists, why, we are not even sure who they are. The resolution of course said rocket fire out of Gaza was unacceptable but did not name those firing the rockets. Just some “militant groups.” Not Hamas, not Islamic Jihad, not the Palestinians, that’s for sure. This is the face of antisemitism in the year 2015. Here is the collective wisdom of all the foreign minister in Europe with its 450 million people and their judgment includes specifically calling out Israel by name as guilty of a half-dozen at least crimes while its adversaries are not even named. Just some “militant groups.” |
