Hey EU, Shove It I
Sometimes you need nuanced rhetorical and textual analysis to really get at the double-standards and the opportunistic diplomatic pressure that is brought to bear against Israel. Sometimes you don't:
The EU envoy to the Middle East, Mark Otte, said in an interview appearing this weekend that Israel's recent uprooting of Jewish communities is a model for the rest of Samaria, Judea and Jerusalem. "Our position regarding the West Bank and east Jerusalem is identical - they are occupied territories, and the future of Jerusalem will also be discussed in negotiations between Israel and the Palestinians," Mr. Otte told Al-Quds, a Jerusalem-based Arabic-language newspaper.
It's like the State Department on anti-Zionist steroids.
