The clarity was fleeting
On Monday, I reported that EU Commissioner Louis Michel had called Hamas a terrorist organization and held Hamas responsible for the war that took place in Gaza earlier this month. Now, in the face of Hamas condemnation, the EU is backtracking.Clarifying Michel’s position an EU Commissioner Spokesman Thorsten Munch noted that Michael had did not hold Hamas “fully” responsible for the war in Gaza, but did condemn the firing of projectiles at civilians.The pigs have returned to the ground:
The projectiles, he continued, were “no excuse” for Israel to launch such a devastating military operation in Gaza. Munch noted that this was clear in the speech Michel made in Gaza.
He added that the misinterpretation of Michel’s remarks was unfortunate, and stressed that Michel condemned the use of Israeli force in civilian areas of Gaza.

Its too much to expect the Europeans to hold the line against Hamas. How can they hope to aid peace in the Middle East when condemning a terrorist organization is such a difficult matter for them? But its easier to censure Israel.
"projectiles" - I take it they mean "harmless paper airplanes" and "spitballs". Naughty Hamas! (Oh, behaaaaaaaaave!) Imagine, the IDF taking umbrage with Hamas just for that! What's 8 years of spitballs compared to the reckless slaughter of zillions of poor palithugs?!
I have yet to see a video showing the real physical and psychological devastation intentionally that the Palithugs of all stripes literally rained down on Israel's civilian population for 8 frickin' years. (A real Israeli government would have blown the genocidal Palis out of the sky from the very first rocket.)
The Palithugs must be exercising those strong-arm tactics on the EU that they accuse Israel of using. Heh!
