All the evidence is that the vast majority of UK electorate could not care less about IL PAL conflict. BDS and PSC orgs in UK have a tiny membership compared to the once very effective Anti Apartheid Movement Ask your why 1. Islamophobia a very real and unpleasant reality means any cause related to Pals has a hurdle to surmount. 2. By relying on such venerable characters as G Galloway, The late Crow and similar types this will hardly have a mass appeal. 3. So called campaigning movements like The Church and Trade Unions are increasingly seen as out of touch and irrelevant, especially by the young. 4. The whole notion of Boycotts especially when promoted by the likes of an EU Official falls on deaf ears. It's so yesterday like Muesli and Birkenstocks. The lecturing by campaigners against IL is not working. The real hard evidence is that IL EU trade is flourishing , consumers mostly don't care. It's time the Palestinians and those who campaign were more explicit in accepting the right of IL to exist and exist as a Jewish State. Get it or continue to live in dispair.

One day. Lets hear something good from eu-un about Israel.

These clowns better start worrying about Russia cutting off their gas supplies; and, once that's done, they'll will need to find a new supplier. If Israel is nice enough, they just might help them out in that area...if you know what I mean? Gotta love all the gas Israel is finding! God bless Israel!

CHUTZPAH?!

in less than 10 years the EU does not exist anymore. Europe will be full with islamists, raping your women and children.

"The potential buyers and investors should know that a future peace accord between Israel and the Palestinians or between Israel and Syria could have consequences both for properties acquired and for economic activities promoted in said settlements. In case of litigation, it could be very difficult for member states to guarantee the protection of their interests." Is this not a coded message suggesting that the outcome of successful negotiations is that your investments will end up in a lawless entity and are likely to be stolen or, more likely, destroyed.

Truth is, I'm losing patience with Europe. There isn't one inch of European soil that isn't drenched with gallons of innocent Jewish blood. Should the entire continent of Europe break off the continental shelf and sink into the abyss, I'll throw a wild party complete with lamb, couscous, and belly dancing girls.

Will the ambassador and the listed European nations call for a boycott of goods from the occupied East Bank as well? Do the Visigoths, Angles, Saxons, Gauls, etc. pledge not to develop land to account for natural increase? Oh, yes, Europe's population is declining. Perhaps that is a factor in their vociferous attacks.

Your terms state "comments containing incitement, slander, racist slurs and in appropriate language won't be published." I just read many of the comments on the article about the EU and settlements and many of them are racist and use inappropriate language. Please follow your own rules and block them. Civil discussion, yes. Insults and vulgarity, no.

The European Union can continue to buynatural gas from the Russians at four times the price that Israel would have charged. There is no shortage of other markets for Israel; markets that will pay prevailing rates. What the European Union does not understand is that Israel is loosing patience with the European Union, too. In particular, with their selective criticism -- Arab terrorists can do no wrong, it seems. Europe is a lost cause. In ten years, it will be dominated by Moslems. Good riddance.

The EU makes no such distinction when it comes to the illegal Turkish Occupation of Northern Cyprus The UK and other EU nations do not recognise Turkish Sovereignty over N Cyprus, However plenty of EU nationals take holidays, take direct flights and purchase land and property on the N Part of Cyprus. Same applies to Tibet which has for a very long time been occupied by China, which regards the region as its legitimate territory and has a deliberate policy of settling non ethnic Tibetans, mainly Han Chinese in Tibet. There is no EU bar on travel to the area and no discouragement of investment in Tibet. If Hypocracy is the Vaseline of political intercourse, then the EU is so covered in the slime , it risks being labelled a health hazard. most EU citizens take EU directives and pronouncements with a grunt of contempt.
