The European Union executive on Wednesday called the Israel Defense Forces attack that killed 19 Palestinians in Gaza "a profoundly shocking event."While it is a regrettable loss of life and it is always tragic when civilians are casualties in war but what I find profoundly shocking is the attitude of the European Union.
"The killing this morning of so many civilians in Gaza, including many children, is a profoundly shocking event. Israel has a right to defend itself, but not at the price of the lives of the innocent," EU external relations chief Benita Ferrero-Waldner said in a statement.
While the EU representatives acknowledge Israelis right to defend itself but puts a caveat limiting the so-called right of self-defense. In other words, you can defend yourself as long as civilians on the other sides do not get hurt, otherwise, you just have to suck up the casualties on your side. The EU bizarre position towards Israeli self-defense actually works to embolden the terrorist position. Israel must be the only nation in the world to have its civilian population targeted by a terrorist regime bent on its destruction daily, but its right of self-defense ends where the terrorist regime operatives and their enablers work and hide.
Israel faces a proven belligerent regime targeting its civilian population daily but the Euroweanies don’t eek a single tear or sigh for Israeli victims – only when Arabs die. Who is the racist now? I suppose that’s why ‘there’s no good Jew like a dead Jew’ is an old European maxim.
And the Syrian call to remind the UN Security Council of its duty to protect Palestinian Arabs is laughable when Palestinian Refugee Camps in Syria are duly kept in less than pristine condition by the Assar government. Furthermore, the Syrians would have us believe that the UN Security Council’s moral duty to Palestinians upstages genocide of truly biblical proportions currently underway in the Sudan.
