| quote: | Leaked EU Secret Report Smacks Of Anti-Semitism
By Jim Kouri
Aug 3, 2006
A leaked European Union secret report advises European government officials that they should "consider direct intervention in an attempt to curb the systematic measures being undertaken by Israel to increase its control and population in the historically -- and legally -- Arab eastern sector of Jerusalem
The classified report warns that the chances of a two-state solution are being eroded by Israel's "deliberate policy" -- in breach of international of law -- of "completing the annexation of East Jerusalem".
But European foreign ministers decided against releasing the report -- which also warns that rapid expansion of Jewish settlements in and around East Jerusalem, along with use of the separation barrier to isolate East Jerusalem from the West Bank, "risk radicalizing the relatively quiescent Palestinian population of East Jerusalem." They risk radicalizing the Palestinian population? Is there anything more radical than suicide bombers?
No where in the report is there mention of terrorist attacks by groups such as Hamas and Hezbullah. In fact, the report claims East Jerusalem belongs to the Palestinians and sees it as the eventual capital of the a new Palestinian state.
The EU report also distorts the history of Jewish control of East Jerusalem. The report writers claim that the Israelis "seized" it during the Six Days War of 1967, without mentioning that the war was intiated by Arab nations and Israel was merely defending itself from multiple attacking armies. They commandeered the territory in order to create a security buffer zone. Of course, to do so they had to push back the invading armies to prevent Israelis from being driven into the sea.
The report's recommendations includes meeting with the elected-leaders of the Palestinians, such as President Mahmoud Abbas, to show support for their endeavors to create their own independent nation.
The classified report, leaked to a British news organization, says: "Israel's activities in Jerusalem are in violation of both its Roadmap obligations and international law. We and others in the international community have made our concerns clear on numerous occasions with varying effect. Palestinians are, without exception, deeply alarmed about East Jerusalem. They fear that Israel will 'get away with it' under cover of disengagement [from Gaza]."
This report shocks very few observers who follow European politics. Anti-semitism is deeply entrenched in these nations who are well-known appeasers. Although no single country is mentioned as far as their part in formulating the report, intelligence sources believe it has all the earmarks of a French and German coalition.
Even in the United States, there are many liberals and radical leftists who either criticize Israel or out and out blame the Jews for all the world's ills. So-called conservative Pat Buchanan and others have created this mythical Israeli lobby whom they blame for everything from foreign aid for Israel to the US invasion of Iraq.
Meanwhile, anti-war movement icon Cindy Sheehan has repeatedly made references to American soldiers dying for Israel. Recently, this writer observed a bumber sticker that read: "Fight for America, Not Israel." What strange bedfellows hatred for Israel breeds.
This "secret report", although never officially released, displays a total distortion of Middle East history. Prior to the 1967 war, there was no such thing as "Palestinians." Arabs who lived in that region called themselves Syrians or Egyptian or Jordanians. Even the top leader of the so-called Palestinian people -- Yassar Arafat -- was born and raised in Egypt and his biography refers to him as being Eqyptian.
This writer's grandfather lived in the city of Haifa, but he called himself a Syrian (he left for America in 1917 because of the violence perpetrated by Muslims on the Christian Arabs). My grandfather and grandmother never called themselves Palestinians. |

ronk... i really enjoy your avatar...
and about the article... their views on East Jerusalem and failure to mention terror attacks against Israel may be anti-Israel, I don't really think that it's anti-Semetic though. There's a difference there, one is related to racial prejudice. The other is a statement of foreign policy.
It's really easy to get a lot of attention if you label what you're saying with something sensationalist like that. Whether or not France or Germany or any EU members who appear to be anti-Israel are anti-Semetic is speculation.
There are some countries whose foreign policy is representative of a prejudice their people have against another country's people, but there are more still whose foreign policy is based on an opinion the country's gov't has about how the country in question should be acting. One issue I could see countries having (from the article) is that perhaps they feel Israel's actions are contributing to instability in the region. Without knowing firsthand from the policymakers you can't know whether its a matter of their opinion of your country or a racial hate sort of thing. |
