"I have seen foreign correspondents with tears in their eyes when they saw Palestinian olive trees destroyed by Israelis. The same people made a major effort to explain away terrorist murders of Israeli civilians by Palestinian terrorists." That says it all. Remember, it was mostly the Europeans that allowed the Holocaust to happen. Will they do it again?

during the elections on Sept. 12

Why, then you must be an appalling human being, Aaron. And I am Jewish and a very far cry from stupid.

"mass influxes of non-indigenous people results in ethnic animosity". How many millions of Arabs have been flowing to Europe in the last 50 years? There are more "non-indigenous" Arabs in France than there are Jews in Israel. If Israel dug its hole, Europe is digging its grave.

Yes Arnold there have been minor wars as you put it, there have also been many conflicts and civil uprisings however there has been no wars between any of the nations that joined the EU.

Unfortunately Sarah is right and I am a Holocaust survivior.

israeli's transgression are forgiven because someone/somewhere may have done something worse. And israeli is a victim, this time the EU and press.

For more than 2,000 years of beating, robbing, raping, enslavement, invasion, ethnic cleansing, and genocide by Europe we expect them to change now? They haven't been fighting Muslims anywhere near as long, because they haven't existed that long. Besides Jews have never fought back, not once against Europe.

The present day Europe, is rapidly becoming an Islamic enclave. Governments allow their lawlessness, because of their propensity towards violence. With so many living in the EU, people are afraid of what will happen.

Who were the murderers ? Native French citizens or secong or third generation immigrants ?

I am European. Your pious pontification holds no water: there are extreme tensions between some EU member states which are mostly of economic nature at this juncture but the political implication will follow. "No wars in the EU" - so what? There was no wars in Israel either - much longer than the existence of the EU. What are you peddling here? Are you trying to establish similarities between the Arab-Israeli situation in the M.E.and the rapport between France and Germany? Why don't you bring up the Vallon/ Flemish, Greek/Turkish Cyprus, Balkan/Kosovo, Basque/Spain etc. animosities for all these people are in the EU and hate each other. Yeah, the idyllic, pastoral EU ... like the 6th. from Beethoven. My foot.

#7 Penny. Your arrogance and smugness is ridiculous. Europeans would still be at each others' throats had America not intervened repeatedly to save them. The E.U. has nothing to teach Israel. Israel doesn't need lessons on how to submit to tyrants and Radical Islam.

saying. This is documented online, 'real vision'

Lovely head-to-toe burqas available for your wives and daughters in a store near you now.... They'll soon be required vestments so get a good deal on them now - any color is good as long as it's black...

and the Zionist press!

I think that most of those who hate Europe have never been there , and certainly never LIVED there .

Saudi Arabia finally admitted that the 'plan' was really just a suggestion, as they could not force another arab country to make peace, nor could they guarantee Israel there would be peaceful responses AFTER (emphasi mine) Israel had withdrawn and kept all the committments. Open your eyes, then post...if you dare.

Really? Then why so much focus? Aren't there enough problems in Europe and the EU to occupy your attention, not to mention the world outside of the Middle East? Precious little of that in the European press, I must say. It always seems to focus upon Israel. It's as if there is no such thing as Tibet, or the Congo, or Latin America .... or countless other issues that are very definitely worthy of attention. Poor, pitiful Europe. Without your hatred of Jews -- which has translated into hatred of the State of Israel -- you really have nothing. You've outlived your "usefulness," haven't you? Europe is an infected appendix, ready to rupture. 'Bye.

Spain 25% unemployment, Greece, Portugal in deep misery, young Italians are moving to the UK and Germany ...hopeless poverty in the Eastern half... . Whom are you trying to fool here? Yeah, some nations are rich and many are poor. Believe or not we do read EU media and we're well cognizant of the multitude of demographic and economical problems that raging in the EU. Even the future of the Euro is in doubt. Sorry, bro we don't eat up your rosy propaganda pieces.

Really an outstanding article.....we have the fake 'human rights activists' alligned with genocidal nations. #1 Sarah B--I agree with you 100%. Excellent comments.

Does somebody remember what happens when the Hutus kills many hundred thousand of Tutsis ? The Europeans stayed sit on their doughnuts and put their hands over their eyes...

It's a crime to be stupid. To be stupid AND ugly is unnaceptable. Catherine, do you read Mein Kampf when you go to bed alone at nights ?

#7 Penny - I have spent years following what is going on in Israel and it is very obvious you are poorly informed. You could try reading Joan Peter's well researched book 'From Time Immemorial" and discover how wickedly Britain treated the Jews and I could add a lot more to it. Still is of course and I am ashamed that the England I was taught to love committed so many offences. Take a look at England by the way - Islam trying to bring several parts under Sharia law. God help you. You sure need to know the truth re. Palestine.

Sad, but very true.

You forget the hundreds of thousands US citizens who can't pay their motgage any more , the vast quantity of those who wre expelled of their houses . You seem also to forget the quantity of people who can't afford health services , to expensive . You read EU media ? only a small part , those written in your tongue . And what if Europe asked you to pay the US$ they have in their banks ?

I haven't heard references to Joan Peter's excellent 'From Time Immemorial" for quite a long time. Thanks for bringing it back into the discussion!
