split ,   US   (05.06.11)
2. Issue arrest warrants for EU leadership
Gee ,   Zikron Yaakov   (05.06.11)
The charge is aiding genocide and terrorism. Both of those are listed as war-crimes according to the UN. Let's see Interpol arrest and turn them over to us for trial.
3. Then the EU supports Hamas
Rachel ,   US   (05.06.11)
They have lost their legitimacy.
4. It's not our fault you look like a horse Ashton
Mawry   (05.06.11)
Take out your hatred on someone else. But in any case, a country with self-respect would not allow her, nor Blair nor the rest of them to step onto their territory. Unfortunately Israelis do not enjoy healthy personal boundaries nor self-respect, at least not the ones in government.
5. The EU in support of the Hamas-Fatah union and...
Jehudah Ben-Israel ,   Qatzrin, Israel   (05.06.11)
...the call by Hamas, the main partner of the union, to decimate Israel and every single trace of Jewish existence in it. This is the same Europe that said and did nothing when millions of Jews were sent to their death in gas chambers, in dugouts and on the streets of towns and villages only a few decades ago. We lost six million men, women and children in that act of Europe. Now, the nearly six million Jews of Israel are the target of the Iran-Hizballah-IslamicJihad-Hamas-Syria coalition of Muslim and Arab forces, the extended family into which Hamas has brought with this union its "bride", Fatah, and the EU is financing this union. Is it with the hope or just lack of care about how the EU's deeds will affect the six million Jews of Israel...??!! This is the cynical world that we, Jews, have experienced for centuries. Never again!!
6. and I thought the EU had three conditions for dealing with
Petra ,   EU, on the road   (05.06.11)
Hamas: accepting Israel's right to exist; renouncement of Hamas's violence and terrorism; and, accepting of agreements with Israel and signed by the parties. If this is how much importance the EU holds to its own decisions, why should anyone take the EU seriously. I don't anymore.
7. Israel punishs the Palestinians
Harold ,   USA   (05.06.11)
Israel cannot stop doing dirty jobs. This habit is in their hearts and bones. We say G-d closes on door but opens hundred doors.
8. P.T Barnum Stated That There Is A
Wondering   (05.06.11)
Sucker Born Every Minute, u.s congress and b.H.o.. Has Anyone else heard this? Just Wondering?
9. $750M - What else could the EU buy???
Andrew ,   Miami,Fl   (05.06.11)
the people of europe will eventually ask - why are we giving this money to these people - what do we get for it? austerity measures? for whom?
10. Read the writing on the wall
Cynic #2   (05.06.11)
or may be Israel being for so long a supposed ally of the USA cannot read European languages anymore!
11. Ashton
Moragh   (05.06.11)
WHAT ON EARTH HAPPENED TO ASHTON'S FACE. DID SOMEBODY PUSH IT BACK? This is a serious question. Her face looks so abnormal!
12. Justice for the PA
Sebastian ,   Bremen Germany   (05.06.11)
As Israel has embezzled Palestinian tax money and customs duties, the EU should confiscate Israeli assets in the EU in equal measure to get back the extra $124 million paid to the PA. What Israel has done, is called a crime in civilizized countries.
13. Bibi is the best thing that happand to the Pals.
Dave   (05.06.11)
in long long time. They love to see him continue.
14. Haniya of Hamas who denounced the killing of Bin-Laden is
Benjamin ,   Manchester, UK   (05.06.11)
now on the payroll of the EU. This is the face of Europe today.
15. The EU leaders collaborate with terrorists and the world is
Svetlana ,   Vilnius, Lithuania   (05.06.11)
silent.
16. #4 -- like a horse...
Curtis ,   USA   (05.06.11)
Ashton really does look like a horse, but the question is: which end the most....
17. One of the infelicities of the PA position on statehood
Mychal ,   Tennessee, USA   (05.06.11)
Gen. Ben Butler, US Union: "Major Carey of Virginia asked me if I didn't feel it wrong to refuse to return fugitive slaves to their owners. To which I replied, the Fugitive Slave Act doesn't apply to foreign nations--which Virginia claims to be. And she must reckon it one of the infelicities of her position insomuch as she was taken at her word." Palestine claims to be a separate state and claims to be ready for statehood. They can collect their own damn taxes and pay their own damn wages and run their own damn hospitals and emergency services. It's not Israel's job to financially support another state. If they can't do that, then they're not ready to have a country.
18. #1 YOU BET I'M BITCHING!!!
Ian ,   Newcastle upon Tyne   (05.06.11)
I'm one of the poor old EU taxpayers who's being soaked to send our hard worked for money straight to terrorists and Fatah and Hamas 'leaders' so that they can live the high life and enrich themselves. THREE CHEERS FOR ISRAEL!!!
19. What a huge waste of my tax money
Charles ,   Paris, FRANCE   (05.06.11)
20. To: No. 12
Sarah B ,   U.S.A. / Israel   (05.06.11)
You cannot make a blanket statement such as "Israel has embezzled 'Palestinian' tax money and customs duties" without proof. I invite you to provide legitimate documented sources for your outrageous allegation. By the way -- you come from Germany; what on earth could you possibly know about civilized countries?
21. Well, just block it!!!
Jewish Warrior   (05.06.11)
Seize the assets the second they fall into PA hands!
22. EU are turncoats in West's war against evil
Phil Jenkins ,   Austin, Texas   (05.06.11)
They should be tarred, feather'd and run out of town.
23. #12, Yeah, a German should tell Jews about embezzlement
Phil Jenkins ,   Austin, Texas   (05.06.11)
That's rich - almost as rich as the coffers of Rosenthal gold that paid for your radical-left education.
24. #12
Berlechingen ,   HH   (05.06.11)
a german Secretary of State used the following words: "Sir, with all respect you are an ashoe " well nothing else that can be said here.
25. # 7
Sally ,   USA   (05.06.11)
as long as people exists as you they will have to do dirty jobs sometimes. It just prevents that dirty things will be done to them.
26. 11 - That smirk on my face ,...
split ,   US   (05.06.11)
Can't help myself reading jerks like you with the representatives looking like B. Gurion or G. Meir making fun of someone's look ,....
27. #12 Sebastian
Marvyn ,   UK   (05.06.11)
Thank you Sebastian for your comment. How any German person or politician can teach anyone how to behave is beyond me. Germany committed probably the worst genocide in this planets history during World War 2. Good old Catherine Ashton; also how any British politician can teach anyone how to behave is ridiculous. Britain with its empire caused all the problems all over the world, not just in the Middle East. What a hypocritical world.
28. the Peace obstructors
tiki ,   belgium   (05.06.11)
The EU, under auspicien of Ashton (who is being criticized as an utter failure by all EU governements), are undercutting the prospects of 'real Peace negotiations. They are 'meddling in Internal affairs and undercutting Israel all the time. If there is going to be yet 'another war in the ME, the EU can be called the main responsable player, for THEIR dumb policies are an Obstruction to Peace, and the dumb EU taxpayer can pay the bill.
29. The EU funds terrorists and the friends
Chris Rettenmoser ,   Bayerisch Gmain Germ   (05.06.11)
of Bin Laden, hopefully they will also get back the full repay...
30. #7; Harold, YOUR RIGHT
Mark from Georgia ,   USA   (05.06.11)
But not the way you think. Egypt wants cut off the Gas, so what! Qatar just offered to replace the gas at the same reduced rate. Is that what you had mind? I guess not, huh? One door closes, another opens though, right Harold? People like you, are dime a dozen, Israel is the greatest. They always look for non-violent ways to get their point across. While the Arabs just to to kill innocent civilians. Arabs shoot rockets from Gaza,Israel build a wall and enforces a blockade. Arabs send in suicide bombers from the West Bank, Israel builds a fence and they stop it. Hamas joins a new government and asks to rescind recognition of Israel, Israel cuts off their money. All clever non-violent ways of self defense.
