EU: It's Either Or
By Micah Halpern

Sunday April 23, 2006

I've Been Thinking:

The hallowed halls of European diplomacy seem to be cracking under the weight of a double standard.

On Friday the European Union said that aid to the Palestinians has been cut indefinitely. Period. No caveats.

But at the same time the European Union issued a statement urging Israel to pay the Palestinians the taxes which they are holding for them - amounting to somewhere between $30-$40 million a month.

And at the same time the Hamas Foreign Minister, Al Zahar, sets off on a trip to the Persian Gulf where he says he will be meeting with European diplomatic representatives.

It's either or. Europe cannot have it both ways.
Yes Hamas or No Hamas. Make a choice and adhere to it.
