The EU on the 'Palestinians:' 'Not In My Back Yard'
The EU seems to have caught the NIMBY (NotInMyBackYard) syndrome when it comes to the 'Palestinians.' Israeli leftist Yossi Beilin is taking a survey in which he asks countries, "let's just say that tomorrow morning there's a 'settlement' between Israel and the 'Palestinians' that does not include a 'right of return' for 'Palestinians' to annihilate Israel demographically. And let's say - let's just say - that there are 'Palestinians' who don't want to live in their current Arab countries, who would like to go to a third country. In those highly theoretical circumstances, how many 'Palestinians' would you take?Here's Europe's response:
Beilin said that Europeans have never given a "clear picture" of how many refugees - if any - they would be willing to absorb as part of a future peace accord, and that no "affirmative answer" has been received on the issue until now.She obfuscates just like Billy Jeff Clinton, doesn't she?
EU spokeswoman Christina Gallach said Thursday that it was premature to respond to such a proposal at this time.
"This is not something that has entered into the pipelines of practical considerations, and I am not aware of specific discussion of this issue," she said in a telephone interview from Brussels.
"The EU will be ready to continue to contribute in a clear manner to the final status of peace agreement as negotiations continue," she said.

Carl - if the Europeans don't want them, why should Israel? And the Israeli Left has never given a good reason why Israel must make all the concessions rather than the other way around - to people who consider the Jews to have no rights whatsoever - not even the elementary to right to live! They should ask Ehud Goldwasser and Eldad Regev how Arab hospitality worked out so well for them!
Gee... they don't want them either?
Now why on earth would that be?
Kranky, why should savage beasts receive the trappings of nationhood? A civilized people constitutes a culture and a nation. That's exactly what the Palestinians aren't.
