European Diplomacy

The Europeans never hesitate to condemn Israel for harming innocents and violating international law. Organizations not on European countries' "beyond the pale" list? Hizbullah:

The Belgian ambassador to Lebanon, held [a meeting] last week with Hizbullah chief Sheikh Hassan Nasrallah. The meeting with Nasrallah took place at a time when Israel is pressing the EU to place Hizbullah on its list of terrorist organizations.

Hizbullah, of course, is rapidly moving into the mainstream:

Hezbollah Secretary General Sheikh Hassan Nasrallah said Saturday that his group will do all it takes to win the release of Lebanese prisoners held in Israeli jails, including kidnapping Israel Defense Forces soldiers.

Hezbollah openly calls for kidnapping Israeli soldiers, even in explicit violation of UN resolutions: legitimize them with an ambassador. Iran threatens to nuke Israel: lets coddle them. Arafat founds and leads an international terrorist war over the course of decades: more talking. What exactly do you have to do or say to Jews before it violates Europe's delicate sensibilities?
