Thanks, but no thanks. Hard to envision Israel belonging to an organization that includes Spain and Sweden and kowtows ceaselessly to Islamofascist elements.

or Ahmedinejad these are the kind of guys he likes

She's a complete novice in foreign affairs, and comes with the the usual British distaste for everything Jewish.

Spineless, gutless creature. Baseless demagogue, so rotten to the core - he would sell his own mother for arab money.

How could Israel possibly be in the EU? Too many problems such as Israel is not even in Europe! Second, Israel wouldn't be so willing to co-operate on the EU's laws regarding human rights and war crimes. Turkey joining the EU has some plausibility to it because if you can actually read a map, Turkey is in Europe. http://www.nationsonline.org/maps/countries_europe_map.jpg

the far left crazies? Unlimited immigration? Think of all the muslum terrorists from Britain that would come to Israel and nothing to stop them. In a word, NO.

with their shiny new EU passports. There are so many already working legally and illegally in all sorts of businesses. London home to some of the richest Israelis in the world, right down to the Israelis who sell dead sea in the malls. I would def be up for study in Cambridge! Sadly this never will happen and neither will turkey.

You know nothing about her, and claim British have a distaste for everything Jewish? are you getting facts from tabloids? America has it right have they? no racists and anti semities there? tell me the last time someone tried to bomb a synagogue in London or shoot Jews? oh wait that was recently in NYC and LA. When was the last time a British airline was grounded because the passengers and crew were scared of a Jewish mans praying? oh wait, that was an American airline.

I say lets for a new U - North American Union. And have USA, Canada, Israel, Australia, and Japan join. Makes as much sense geographically but much more friendly (at least towards Israel) crowd.

If Ashton is their idea of a "Foreign Minister", no one will take the EU seriously. That Moratinos has a problem with Lieberman is *his* problem. Israel already has a "special status" with the EU, and growing trade and cooperation is fine. But Israel should have nothing to do with the Euro-Arabian alliance, nor can it sacrifice its foreign policy independence to that of the EU. And its very nature would be irreparably damaged were it subject to the free movement of labor required of EU members. Let's turn the question around. Can anyone imagine Lieberman putting up with someone as foolish as Catherine Ashton?

get over ur silly need to defend everything British and take a look at what matters here. It would be a diaster for Israel to join...the good news is they don't REALLY want us either...

She is CERTAINLY an Israel hater.Wait a while, you will see PLENTY Anti Israel nonsense from her even in near future ...I know quite a bit about her pronouncements-they arnt pleasant . Why do you do" WHATABOUTERY"? What about USA.What about this or what about that .... No one is talking about USA here and Jewish Man praying . I can tell you that Israel is rubbished DAILY - in virtually every UK medium-TV ,Papers -you name it .EVEN BY JEWS who want to FIT IN! THE LEFT IN UK HAS UNITED WITH MUSLIMS IN UK TO DEMOLISH ISRAEL.

The eu needs warriors against europeo hedonistic cowardice institutionalized which allowed nazism to conquer europe easily especially denmark paris and czechoslovakia. Liberman represents russian jewry which was critical in the repulsion of nazi barbarism.

#5 HAS "LOOKED AT A MAP" AND SAYS THAT TURKEY IS IN EUROPE. I DON'T KNOW WHICH MAP #5 WAS LOOKING AT, BUT ONLY A MINISCULE PART OF TURKEY IS IN EUROPE. MOST OF IT IS IN ASIA. IT WOULD BE FOLLY FOR ISRAEL TO BE IN THE EU. CAN YOU IMAGINE THE FREE FLOW IF ARAB JIHADIS INTO ISRAEL?

that suicide bombers came out of US and exploded in Tel Aviv Oh yes, I forgot, they were from Britain...... Academic boycott? Goods Boycott? George Galloway? Ken Livingstone? Do you want more examples?

One UK Cabinet Minister says he is waiting for next one. Straw drags his feet . Milipede drags his feet . Brown could snap his fingers and order it to be done ....nothing happening . All terrified to upset their Islamofascist Constituents ... Straw has BIG Muslim support base from the Ghetto in his Northern Constituency SO WHO WANTS TO BE WITH THAT GROUP , ISRAEL DOESNT NEED EU

But I'll be damned if I can see a reason for us to want the EU.

Well, since you asked .... http://www.timesonline.co.uk/tol/comment/faith/article6539415.ece http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/uk_news/8166173.stm http://www.guardian.co.uk/world/2009/feb/08/police-patrols-antisemitism-jewish-community

And I can't believe I just said that lol I can't imagine Liebermann working with Ashton. Not only can't I imagine Liebermann working successfully with anybody in the diplomatic space, given the accumulation of train wrecks that he has created during his short term in office - but in fact I can't imagine any Israeli foreign minister working with a neophyte like Ashton. Nor can I imagine Israel subordinating its national security and economy to EU constraints, which are simply impossible to live with if you're a country with urgent security requirements. Israel couldn't do it; Lebanon couldn't do it; Jordan couldn't do it; heck, Iran couldn't do it. And the US couldn't do it. None of these would want to, of course.

No country is immune, I am Israeli in America, this time last year I was spit on in the face by gang in street and a guy in bar called me dirty jew, the police do nothing. man in new york hear me speaking hebrew and verbally attack me in daytime by mall. it was a group of horrible expiriences why get web evidence to prove hate like sarah b, and fyi - you either in USA or in Israel? sarah b? Please stop talkbackers attacking other jews here with who has it worse, what country is the worse for a jew. this nonsense. this is a nice article and got off topic here, we see we have friends in europe, friends in power, we not talking guy on street, so why dont we accept this and stop competition to show how bad it is here or there.

Everybody get out their Tanakh and look up the prophecies of Daniel and Ezekiel. This doesn't sound good.

that rules Spain http://www.typicallyspanish.com/news/publish/article_23218.shtml http://noggia.blogspot.com/2009/09/monster-family-is-back-updated-zapatero.html

Here reminder of some recent records of British terrorists: Mike’s place Tel Aviv: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mike%27s_Place_suicide_bombing Mumbai: http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/worldnews/asia/india/3533075/Mumbai-attack-British-men-among-the-terrorists-Bombay-India.html Arson attacks on Crete synagogue: http://www.ynetnews.com/articles/0,7340,L-3838197,00.html

Being a JEWISH state would probably be considered illegal under EU law and certainly things like the law of return would be banned. Open borders to all EU passport holders, EU rules on security issues what we are or are not allowed to do to terrorists Targeted assasinations would of course be illegal. We would have probably had ask permission to go into Gaza or Lebanon. I think Israel is better on its own rather than as a minor member of the EU

http://www.israelnationalnews.com/News/News.aspx/135716 We can all locate facts on the UK, like we can all locate facts on American suicide bombers, like the one from Milwaukee, trained in the USA and blew himself up killing 30. He was buried in Milwaukee. http://www.worldtribune.com/worldtribune/WTARC/2009/ss_terror0168_02_26.asp
