1. Hey Europe!
Sarah B ,   U.S.A. / Israel   (06.28.14)
No one gives a damn about Europe's level of patience. Being Jewish, I am still marveling at your high degree of tolerance for the wanton murder of Jews -- let's face it; six million Jews during the Holocaust is NOTHING compared to the two hundred millions Jews who owe their murder to the Europeans. So -- please -- try another tack. Europe is destined for the rubbish heap of history. Shut up and get lost. You don't matter anymore.
2. The Jews stopped taking orders from the Europeans
news flash   (06.28.14)
I know the Europeans are not used to Jews who don't obey them, but they will have to get used to it. All settlement blocs are integral part of Israel and its only a matter of time till Israel will formally annex them.
3. "Enlightened" EU
ik ,   USA   (06.28.14)
Perhaps the EU might ponder the fact that if there were no Israelis in the Samaria Area there would be no products for them to boycott
4. Who cares about the EU's patience?
Rachel ,   US   (06.28.14)
5. EU-comfort zone
RAYS ,   NH,USA   (06.28.14)
Most of the EU countries have proven (in the past and today) to be more comfortable trading with countries that debase women, support terrorism, slaughter Christians and other minorities, enslave children and are repulsive,uncivilized and terrible in many ways. Israel is FAR AND AWAY A BETTER STATE. Israeli Arabs are better in every respect than those in Islamic Middle East regimes , And arabs in "the west bank" are far better off in every respect (health,safety,education,and religious freedom) than "Palestinians" living in any Arab/Islamic country.
6. The Writing on the Wall
Michael ,   Haifa   (06.28.14)
The letters of the writing on the wall are growing larger and larger by the day and the land thieving settlers and their supporters are either myopic or illiterate. They see nothing beyond their own self-righteousness
7. Invest in Israel
Benji ,   US   (06.28.14)
Invest in the future. Invest in the Palestinian territories, lose money. Invest in the settlements, get products or revenue in return and know your money creates a labor market for Palestinians and business environment that encourages economic cooperation with the Palestinians. If there is ever a peace agreement, this is a good foundation. But that's not what this is really about. It's about control and the EU falsely believing they have power over Israel. It's also about their inability to face reality and place responsibility on the Palestinians for the lack of a peace agreement. The EU believes pressuring Israel will force Israel into an agreement they know will not last or offer any form of security for Israel.
8. If the E.U. continues to call Elohim a liar by failing to
Rivkah   (06.28.14)
give Israel the land given to the descendants of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob and leave Israelis alone to build in the land Elohim gave to them, then the judgment of the E.U. will be horrific. When the plates of the earth shift which has been delayed by the mercy of Elohim, the oceanic submerging of much of lowland Europe will occur. Russia believed that would happen on June 14, 2014 but Elohim slowed the molten iron and magma in the core of the earth to delay the plates of the earth from shifting. The magnetic North Pole is already in Siberia but the shifting of the plates of the earth that happens every 3600+ years has been delayed by the mercy of Elohim. ONLY HIS MERCY. Don't provoke Elohim, E.U.!!!
9. There will never be peace...
Rodney ,   CT. SA.   (06.28.14)
Between Israel and the so called palestinains because first of all the arabs don't want peace only the destruction of Israel and also because Israel does not belong, I repeat, does not belong to anyone but ISRAEL.
10. Errand boys of Europe
olavi ,   esbo, finland   (06.28.14)
No matter what officias of EU says. Peole make investments which are profitabel. Investment in settlements produce something valuable. Investment in PA area are waste of money.
11. Israeli behavior
(06.28.14)
You peopel never learn.
12.  ISRAEL IS WATCHED OVER
tTEL EM STRAIGHT ,   SAFED OBVIOUS   (06.28.14)
Watched over by a power much higher that Europe ,MUCH HIGHER. Europe is on the scrap heap and they are too dumb to even know it.
13. To all european Commentators lol
Mathilde   (06.28.14)
Patience is a virtue..
14. EUROPE, PLEASE, JUST ONCE.....
Brant ,   Hilton Head USA   (06.28.14)
All the accusations of Jew-hatred aside; all the accusations that Europe is in fear of its Muslim populations aside; could they once, just once take a look at the whole picture and just balance their blind attitude just a little? I don't recall history ...anyone's history... recounting that Israel went to war against Palestinians in either 1948, 1967 or 1973. No it was only and ALWAYS Arab nations which ALL remain willing to fight to the last Palestinian and that let's them pretend they have no responsibility for what occurred and that's what's enabled them to be the phony (but successful) conquerors of European public opinion. It's time Europe examined the other side of the story. There is one.
15. LOSING PATIENCE WITH EU
Claude ,   UK and Cape Town   (06.28.14)
The electorate in the vast majority of EU are losing patience with this inept, corrupt insititution. If we had a vote today the British public would almost certainly vote to leave, once that happens others will follow. Interesting to note that this recent statement makes it v clear that they are not calling for a boycott of IL . We should be much more vigilant in persuing those who claim to only Boycot the "Settlements". Also the clear openly available evidence is that trade between most EU countries and IL is booming. A 6.7 pc increase in one year with UK. So any statements from EU officials on any matter usualy falls on deaf ears, and those hypocrites and supporters of BDS belong to an irrelevant community that has very few supporters outside the mainstream
16. So funny.....
Sally ,   UK   (06.28.14)
It is so funny that people here think that the world will treat Israel with any kind of respect when Israel continues to occupy and deny millions of Palestinians their basic human rights.
17. #11 is right. He never learns proper English, posts rubbish
Steve Benassi ,   Silver Bay, MN USA   (06.28.14)
18. EU is Dying
Sean ,   Dublin   (06.28.14)
The EU will not last the decade. The people are revolting against this bureaucratic marxist nightmare, which does nothing but drain money from productive people and nations to pay morons like this. The EU is not a nation - it is a bureaucracy - it does nothing but issue orders but the people have stopped listening. No real or nation state is losing patience with Israel.
19. What is that foul odour I smell behind the scenes?
Devorah   (06.28.14)
Well, jeepers creepers, I do believe it just might be John (boycott threats) Kerry and Catherine Ashton.
20. Oooo! Scary.
Gideon Reader   (06.28.14)
EU is put out. Settlements are a no-no-no-go for the Euroweenies. Snide comments and foot tapping to follow. How DARE those pesky JOOOS? However this is a most auspicious time for Israel to gently advise the nutless wonders to piss off.
21. #16 What human rights?
Benji ,   US   (06.28.14)
The right to fire thousands of kassam rockets and bombs at Israel? The right to kidnap civilians and soldiers? The right to set off suicide bombs killing hundreds? The right to ambush and murder Israelis in cars? In spite of this, Israel provides more than the required amount of humanitarian aid to the Palestinians. Israel also provides jobs, medical care, electricity, water and training. When they act like savages, Israel puts up barriers to keep the savages out of Israel. If you want them to be treated better, train them to behave like human beings. And by the way Sally the hypocrite, you would not put up with their behavior either. So stop yapping at Israel.
22. Time for Israel to boycott the EU
Sarah B ,   Tel Aviv/London   (06.28.14)
Might as well bite the bullet and stop Israel's reliance on exports to the EU.
23. Meanwhile in good ol' Europe
A ,   Belgium   (06.28.14)
Unemployment, especially in the most important age group 25-35 rises, growth stagnates, moslem terror and neo-nazi influence increases and Belgium has 3 wins in the World cup but can't elect a government.What could be better than life in Europe?
24. #22 Israel does not depend on EU
Benji ,   US   (06.28.14)
That would be foolish, especially in light of the EU economy at this time. And the EU is not Israel's patron saint. But let me ask you this, when will the EU loose patience with the Palestinians? How long will they turn a blind eye to the path of terror the Palestinians have chosen over peace? Why is the EU always scolding Israel while giving a free pass to the foreign aid dependent terror loving Palestinians?
25. Europe is a slave to Islam
CJK   (06.28.14)
europe gets its marching orders from islam. europe must understand that israel does what is necessary for her national security.
26. EU losing patience with 'settlements construction?
tiki ,   belgium   (06.28.14)
Israel lost patience with the EU luxury problem of ''settlements and their meddling by financing anti Israel NGO's, a long time ago. EU should take stock and admit that all the problems of the ME (Syria/Irak/WW1) & many parts of the world (Africa) is because of her colonial meddling of the past. She should but out and mind her own business for where & whenever she put her arrogant nose in, disaster erupted!
27. 16 Sally
alsky ,   Toronto   (06.28.14)

28. #22, BDS in reverse? You first ever logical comment.
Steve Benassi ,   Silver Bay, MN USA   (06.28.14)
29. Is it because the builders are too slow ?
Roland ,   london England   (06.28.14)
