David Cameron has an epiphany
You may recall that back in July, British Prime Minister David Cameron called Gaza "the biggest prison on earth." Flash forward seven months and... is Cameron finally starting to get it? UK Prime Minister David Cameron told students in Qatar that some Middle Eastern rulers were using the Israel-Palestine conflict as a distraction from their own oppressive regimes.And then there's this:
“In too many countries in the Middle East, some rulers say to their people ‘be angry about that, don’t be angry about the fact that you live in a non-open society,’” Cameron told his audience at Qatar University in the capital, Doha, today after taking a series of questions on Israel.
Europe has given a huge amount to these countries. It hasn’t really insisted on proper conditions,” Cameron said. “We have seen far too much money disappearing into a great big black hole. This is a wake-up call for the European Union to look at the aid that it gives. It’s not acceptable that this money has gone and no particular reform has happened in return.”Well, there's that word again... acceptable... but Hmmm.

Some European leaders appear to be waking up to the fact what's wrong with the Arab World can't be blamed on Israel.
Let's hope they follow through on it.
