Blessings to the European Union and Germany for this endeavour.

Their reasoning and this talk about "Palestinians" is nonsensical.
Their true motive is likely commercial (through pleasing/flattering the locals), but for some of them possibly also anti-Semitic (I'm not a mind-reader).

Nevertheless, if this is a step on the road to help Israel recover and heal itself from its toxic 1967 occupation, particularly by ridding itself of the most toxic part of that occupation, East Jerusalem, then I am all for it.

I have no particular view as to who "owns" East-Jerusalem (and the other territories occupied by Israel in 1967): I suppose it should belong to whoever wants it, including Jews. Either way, Israel has suffered long enough and must not sacrifice itself for the ambitions of a Jewish sect: if that sect wants Eastern Jerusalem that much, then let them come and take it, so long as Israel leaves the place and is allowed to lick its wounds back home.

Dear SteeleRedux,

It is a shame that Israel is being identified with these filthy price-taggers: Israel should confiscate all their property, expel them naked to the West-Bank or Gaza and never allow them in again.

SR,

Reverting to your customary propaganda rag again I see.

Mox,

Where did you get that pack of lies?

Dear Yuyutsu,

Well you said it not me.

Singer,

No I didn't include it because it was vacuous nonsense. He did nothing to curtail the illegal settler occupation of Palestinian territories so the words are meaningless.

shadowminister,

So Reuters is now a propaganda rag? Look I know you are so bloody keen to prop up people Singer but that would be likely too much even for him. You utter fawning sycophant.

SR,

I was talking about your favourite Palestinian propaganda rag B'Tselem.

Iyad Hadad the author is a "Journalist" who is semi-illiterate.

You antisemite racist.

Once again, look here at the name calling type abuse directed by supporters of Zionists who do dirty unacceptable things to others against those who draw attention to them. A tactic often used by people who know that the viewpoint they would like accepted is being discredited by facts and logical reasoning.
