1. Definitely out of it!
Albert Reingewirtz ,   Havertown   (12.16.17)
“The West Bank” was a temporary name for the land grab done by Britain for Transjordan. Jordan lost it’s land grab when it attempted yet again top destroy the Jewish state in 1967. This 2017 and by now you should remember the ancient name of the heartland of the Jewish nation. The E.U. stepping softly with Iran for needed business is not in charge of finding a “solution for the two states.” That was killed by the PLO, Fatah and Hamas still dedicated to the total destruction of the Jewish state and replacing with an Islamic state “from the river to the sea. Stick your nose in having peace in Europe first and foremost and forget about The Jewish state. Europe did more than enough damage to the Jewish nation over the years.
2. New EU Ambassador
Maurice ,   Antwerp   (12.16.17)
I am sorry but you have no idea of the extent of sympathy in Europe for Israel, especially in Italy. To qualify Europe as a Muslim Caliphate or to say you cannot trust anybody from the EU is a sign of ignorance andshort-sighted thinking. Please refrain from stupid remarks about things you have no notion.
3. ...we are only hate Jews and afraid of the Muslims
hypocrite   (12.16.17)
We’re not biased against Israel, we are only hate Jews and afraid of the Muslims.
4. The EU,,,,,,,
Rob ,   Wash. D.C.   (12.16.17)
Gog and Magog must take it's place on the throne with The Anti-Christ in Israel and Satan in God's seat in Jerusalem. It's official,,,, The world present Anti-
Christ is on the throne in Israel and Satan sits in Gods seat. All is right on time.

7. EU IS NOT BIASED

A nd the pope is jewish.....
8. "We Europeans want a lasting peace.....
Alexander ,   Tel Aviv   (12.16.17)
....between Israelis and Palestinians".

So why don't the Europeans let the Israelis/Jews (historical, native and original population and legitimate owners of the land of Israel) and "Palestinians" (Arab colonialists and settlers and imperialists stealing our ancient and modern Jewish homeland) settle the dispute between themselves?

Why should Europeans get involved with a conflict that:
a) Has no impact whatsoever on the European economy or the daily life of more than 500 million EU citizens?
b) Involves a territory which historically and legally belongs to Israel and the Jewish people and is therefore of no historical or legal concern of 500 million EU citizens?
c) That has not in any way, shape or form reached a peaceful resolution, despite, or should I say because of, European intervention?
d) Furthermore isn't it up to the involved parties of the conflict to reach an exact resolution of this conflict? Why should the EU dictate to others how they should live their lives and where their borders should be and how people should solve their conflicts? Did Israel, Arabs or the international Community dictate to Europeans how they should have solved their disputes for well over 1000 years of European history, or the political solution of borders and land disputes following WW1 and WW2?
e) Why does the EU pretend that it "represents" international law or even worse, claims to be international law? The EU isn't international law - it's a supranational political union, and the EU does not stand above international law nor does it dictate international law. International law predates the existence of the EU and international law does support Cis-Jordan and Trans-Jordan as the Jewish people's legal and modern Jewish homeland.
f) If the Europeans really were concerned with international law, then they would recognize Jerusalem as Israel's capital, recognize that the legally binding San Remo treaty and the Anglo-American treaty both give Israel an unequivocal and absolute monopoly right, and legal right, to ALL of Cis-Jordan and Trans-Jordan.
9. Emanuele Giaufret disgusts me
Alexander ,   Tel Aviv   (12.16.17)
Non-Jews and gentiles pretending that MY Jewish country is "THEIR" home, and on top of that supporting an Arab state at our expense, in our ancient homeland and against our will, and on top of that refusing to recognize Israel as a JEWISH STATE (and not merely a multicultural "democratic" state of the European kind with a diluted empty post-nationalist multi-cultural identity), refusing to recognize Jerusalem as OUR JEWISH CAPITAL, and refusing to end funding to anti-Israeli/anti-Semitic NGOs.

Emanuele Giaufret is NO friend of Israel. Interestingly he says that he wants life to be safe and secure for Israel's CITIZENS - he DID NOT specify the NATIONALITY and ETHNICITY of Israel!!!

Does it make any sense for me to say that I'm a friend of Italy, but I don't recognize Italy as an ETHNIC Italian nation state but rather a "state" of all citizens regardless of who they are, and that I on top of that support stealing 80% of Italy's territory and failing to recognize Rome as Italy's capital? Would the Italians be comfortable dividing Rome with Greece or Turkey, Germany, France or the UK, and become a multi-cultural society to such an extent that most citizens of Italy aren't even ethnically, culturally or linguistically Italian anymore?

I neither take Emanuele Giaufret nor the EU seriously.

10. Not as arrogant as Lars Faaborg-Andersen
Serge ,   Antwerp   (12.17.17)
Of course the EU administration is biased against Israel. At least this ambassador sounds nicer than the previous arrogant Lars Faaborg-Andersen.
11. Naaaaaah! Perish the thought.No European would do a thing
Alan   (12.17.17)
like dat!
12. A "Palestinian" state should be located in the EU...
Alexander ,   Tel Aviv   (12.17.17)
....with Brussels as their capital. I support a "two-state solution" in every single European country, and each and every European country must commit suicide and they must agree to this. Otherwise, they are violating democracy and international law.

And where do I recognize this sick and twisted rhetoric?
13. YEAH! NO BIAS, BUT WOULD LOVE TO JEWS WITH LSS POWR AND
IRANIAN JEW ,   LALA LAND   (12.20.17)
ning for their lives all over the place. Then you will better about yourself for trying to help the underdog instead of offering real solutions.
14. He loves humus, do you need a better proof???!!!!!
(12.21.17)
15. This man is exactly what's wrong with Europe
Zozoulia ,   Beit Shemesh   (12.22.17)
So he loves hummus and his little son calls him "abba." How charming. Arafat also ate hummus and Eichmann also spoke a bit of Hebrew. This fool obviously has no idea how condescending he is. Which makes him a perfect representative of the EU.
16. EU Rep a stand up Comic teamed up with Clown Rivlin
EU'sAnightmare ,   Jerusalem Israel   (12.24.17)
"Were not biased against Israel" somebody hold me i cant stop from laughing oh too too funny oh my sides are hurting from laughing The Ambassador is obviously a stand up comic in his spare time that is when he and EU aren't busy "not being biased against us " oh too too funny ! Are the Ambassador and Rivlin available for parties ?
17. We Europeans want a lasting peace...
Zeav Jabotnisky TLV ,   Tel Aviv   (12.24.17)
The 500 million plus Christians including the Catholic Pope master of the
1.6 Billion Christians worldwide that Israel, Jerusalem, Hebron, Schhem,
and other places belong to the Jews as the bible says, but because of their
hatred, they deny it in public, but in private conversation they know very well
Holy places in Israel belong to us the Jews.

18. EUROPE is not a moral giant
Ezekiel Haim ,   London   (12.28.17)
The EU is a moral midget and the sooner it realises that the better.Most Israelis and European Jews already know that.
