And story after two thousand years of oppressing Jews Europe's support of terrorist over Israel is more than a little suspect. Paint it any shade you like but sick your head in the sand and ignore the history. If Europe loved the Palestinian people more than they disdained the Jews they would be doing what they could to get Palestine stop the violence accept that have been defeated and sue for peace.
Those morons in Gaza (i.e., Hamas) are at it again -

So much for shortening.
