Oh joy! Guess who wants to bring us 'peace and security'

Just one week after the European Union announced that they are going to ensure that Israelis who live outside the 1949 armistice lines will no longer benefit from their occasional largesse, EU foreign policy chief Catherine Ashton is lobbying US Secretary of State John Kerry to allow the continent that spawned Nazism to bring us 'peace and security.'

The revival of negotiations between Israelis and Palestinians "opens new doors" for developing further European Union contribution to peace and security in the region," EU Foreign Policy Chief Catherine Ashton said on Wednesday.

In a statement to the press, Ashton stated that the EU will be "fully engaged with both parties and will make every effort, together with our partners, to ensure that negotiations succeed."

She stated: "Both Israel and the Palestinians have a reliable friend and ally in the European Union."

...

Firmly backing the process, Ashton emphasized that she "firmly believes that a final end to this conflict is within reach."

The Europeans have done more than enough to exclude themselves from any role in the 'peace process.' There is no reason Israel should want another cheerleader in the 'Palestinians' corner.
