1. EU CAN BEST PROTECT the ROCKET LAUNCHERS!
stude ham ,   outremont, canada   (11.16.06)
...from that nasty israeli aggression. europe creates horrific problems everywhere it meddles. and this place is no exception... unless europe's history in the americas, africa, in china, in india, in asia, in the pacific, in the last world wars, can be easily forgotten... and now in afghanistan again.
3. It is about time!! It is long overdue!
Mark ,   USA   (11.16.06)
4. Rocket launchers need more human shields
Kyle ,   Southpark, CO, USA   (11.16.06)
5. Question for the EU...
DR ,   Florida, USA   (11.16.06)
What is a proportionate response to rockets raining dowon on your citizens? Can we have the answer?
6. UN troops in Gaza? Bad idea...
Paolo Ortenzi ,   Rome, Italy   (11.16.06)
... Let me see what is happening in South Lebanon: uhmm... UNIFIL is there and Hizballah is rearming undisturbed... uhm uhmm... IF Israel try to get intelligence with reconeissance flights UE generals shot Israeli armed force while they don't do absoluteli NOTHING to stop Hizballah actions... uhmm uhmmm uhmmm... hzballah is menacing UN troops of terrorist attack if they interfere with their rearmament... UNIFIL is withdrawing AGAINST UNSC 1701... This means, by similarity, that if there will be ANY UN/UE troops in Gaza, Palestinians will be able to rearm and fire rockets on Israel, and Israel would not be able to retaliate, while international community will do nothing to condemn/stop or denounce death of Israelis. After all they're only Jews, and in Europe who the hell cares about Jews? They are a problem and don't have even a drop of the oil the arabs have...
7. EURABIA strikes again.
Jane ,   South Wales, UK   (11.16.06)
Israel withdrew from Gaza in good faith, only to see it's Synagogues desecrated and it's former towns and villages used as both terrorist training camps and platforms from which to launch Kassem rockets into Jewish civilianareas. Now as missiles rain down upon Sderot and Ashkelon & as Israeli schools and hospitals are reinforced against Palestinian terrorist attacks, the EU breaks it's "thunderous silence" to condemn Israel for taking the necessary action to defend it's own population. Conspicuous by it's absence is any such "resolution" demanding that the Palestinian Hamas government cease it's daily attacks upon Israeli civilians. I live in what is becoming "Eurabia". Such attitudes are becoming the norm and tolerance is becoming the order of the day. "Tolerance" that is of anything except Judeao-Christian values, the right of Israel to exist in it's ancient Biblical homeland and anything/anyone who is not prepared to appease Islam.
8. The world is at war
(11.16.06)
9. Welcome to Eurabia
leon ,   Grand Rapids USA   (11.16.06)
Producer of that valuable commodity : Eurocrap !
10. Finally someone is doing something
y ,   US   (11.16.06)
As long as Olmert's government can't stop the rockets, let someone else come in and do it without murdering innocent civilians in Beit Hanoun.
11. What do they know?!
enzo ,   london,uk   (11.16.06)
The EU has enough problems to tackle on home ground! They should stay out of this! But their peacekeepers are always welcome to spend a fortnight in Sderot...!
12. Our lawmakers
eh-oop ,   UK   (11.16.06)
Morality doesn't get a look-in in Brussels. But what can we expect of these self important aparatchiks who hate Israel, hate America and delude themselves that the sacrifice of Israeli blood is enough to placate the terrorists on their own doorstep?
13. another dolls in the south

14. MORE E.U.APPEASEMENT & PANDERING TO TERRORISM
p HENRY ,   longmont U S A   (11.16.06)
THESE GUTTLESS WONDERS ARE A DISGRACE WITH THEIR AGENDA OF OBLIVIOUSNESS TO TERROR.A GLOBAL JIHAD IS BEING WAGED BY ISLAMICFASCIST RELIGIOUS FANATICS AGAINST ISRAEL & WESTERN CIVILIZATION.THEIR "DIPLOMACY OF DEATH & DESTRUCTION "COUPLED WITH THEIR (CAIN'T WE JUST GET ALONG)MENTALITY IS SUICIDAL.
15. an immediate cease fire --- LOL!
aaron ,   ra'anana   (11.16.06)
16. EU Parliament: Send international force to Gaza
Victor Ivanov ,   Camarillo, USA   (11.16.06)
New French, Italian, Spanish peace initiative to send a force of observers similar to the force operating in Lebanon. ????????? In Lebanon UN forses protect Hezbulla. So in Gaza they will protect rocket attacers. The Israel is law abiding country so they will hold their military activities and palesinies Arabs will feel free to fire Qassam rockets at night, because obsevers have no enforsment power. When the World understand that Moslems just want to destroy Israel or pushed them out from the promissed land?
17. countries like france and spain pretend to act objective?
Fat Chance EU ,   USA   (11.16.06)
These two countries' leaders have no moral core and both the Jews and the Arabs know it. Their interests are completely self-serving and they are proven Muslim a$$-kissers (sorry, appeasers.) At least the Italians have some balls. They are not cowardly and full of it like the Spanish and the French. Germany will NEVER be allowed any where near the Gazan border with Israel based on their past behavior toward the Jewish peoples. Only the USA can be the interlocuter. Wait until 2008 when we will hopefully have a new president with a better vision for foreign policy and diplomacy for this unending conflict.
18. #10 Very well said!
Mark ,   USA   (11.16.06)
19. Conflict causes riots in their countries
Mark ,   USA   (11.16.06)
The Arab/Israeli conflict is causing major problems in their own countries. The riots will continue if nothing is done to solve the conflict. Violence will increase throughout EU. The EU only cares about the EU. They do not care about Jews only the EU. They are scared of intifadas in their countries.
20. They are still going to burn down Paris!
Ben Hur ,   Manhattan, USA   (11.16.06)
21. #17 Narcissism at its finest
Mark ,   USA   (11.16.06)
EU especially France displays a completely self-servicing attitude.
22. Veteran Spanish senator confirms anti-Semitism in Spain.
Jane ,   South Wales, UK   (11.16.06)
The words of one of their own..... http://www.israeltoday.co.il/default.aspx?tabid=178&nid=10313 Spanish senator accuses Spain of Anti-Semitism. 16 November 2006 Juan Jose Laborda (photo), a veteran Spanish senator, criticized Spanish leaders, the nation’s media and Spaniards in general for harboring anti-Zionist and anti-Semitic attitudes. “Anti-Zionism, anti-Israeli attitudes, anti-Semitism and justification of the Holocaust are a way of life in Spain,” Laborda said while visiting Madrid’s Conservative synagogue, Congregation Bet-El. Laborda is very close to the Jewish community in Spain. While at the synagogue, Laborda said that the anti-Jewish bias is rooted in Spanish history, beginning with the Spanish Inquisition and expulsion of Jews in 1492 to the 1939 through 1975 Franco pro-Arab dictatorship. He also linked anti-Semitism to an “infantile ideological anti-Americanism” and accused the country’s leaders of caring more about opinion polls than about European history.
23. eurabians again push to protect nazis

24. Sounds like the frogs are stocking up on white flagsagain
Arie ,   Afula   (11.16.06)
25. EU will probably give them better rockets
Nora ,   Israel   (11.16.06)
26. London and Madrid bombings taught EU nothing
Larry ,   Eastbourne, UK   (11.16.06)
The terrorist attacks in Europe have brought about no change at all to the EU's two-faced attitude to terror. The Europeans don't want their own countries to be attacked, of course, but they continue financially, politically and morally to support terrorism against Israel. The only way to defeat terrorism is for all democratic states to join together. The Europeans are deluded if they think that sacrificing Israel will make them safe. Madrid and London are regarded as one-offs and did not change attitudes. Regrettably there will have to be many more major terror attacks on European cities by Muslim fanatics before Europe sees sense.

They Know who the enemy is, and they are waiting for Israel to take the Action on the Moslam minds that want to take out Israel, EU knows Israel will have to do it for them. so they can blame the Jews as is wanted by all gentile Nations now. Israel has told them they plan to survive this time no matter what Germany or the rest of the EU say.
