You’ll hardly need us to come across this story today, but it’s worth posting:
The German daily Die Welt reports that the European Commission’s Anti-Fraud Office (OLAF) has concluded that tens of millions of dollars in humanitarian aid, donated by the EU to the PA has been utilized for terrorist operations against Israel.
I’d like to reiterate this point: The Europeans have discovered evidence that may potentially imply that Arafat is a terrorist. Nobody finds it ironic that these are the same people who condemn the Americans for “not understanding” the Middle East?
Oh, and the evidence that the Europeans based their findings on came from documents seized during Operation Defensive Shield – an operation that the Europeans condemned:
The Israeli documents had been presented to the EU’s Commissioner for External Affairs Chris Patten last year. Patten, however, refused to recognize their authenticity and denied they established that Arafat was using EU funds for terror attacks.
See no evil…
So the EU has now admitted that tens of thousands of euros went directly towards the murder of Israeli civilians. It’s official. It’s open. Think it’ll change anything? Think anyone will even in the slightest bit be held responsible?
UPDATE: For instance, AllahPundit leads with it today.
