Today Baroness Catherine of Ashton, after four days of maintaining radio silence, finally came out with a statement in the name of Esavian EU countries condemning the kidnapping. She and her colleagues in Brussels should be ashamed of themselves for this. As Herb Keinon reported today in JPost, this is the same EU that applauded the marriage of Fatah and Hamas.

Indeed, just yesterday, instead of condemning the triple kidnapping, the EU’s man in Jerusalem, summoned to the Foreign Ministry, Lars Faaborg-Andersen, said that because of the weekend, the EU had been delayed in issuing such a statement, to which Rafi Shutz, director-general of relations with Western Europe who had called him in, reminded him that the EU had issued a statement regardless of the weekend about its meeting of foreign ministers with Arab foreign ministers during the week in Greece. In other words, “Spare me the taurine excreta.”
