The European Unions ambassador to Israel lodged a protest Sunday over the decision to the build 1,400 new housing units in West Bank settlements, which was announced as Israel prepares to release a third group of Palestinian prisoners Monday night.
It is unclear if Ambassador Lars Faaborg-Andersens protest to the Prime Ministers Office and Foreign Ministry will be also be accompanied by EU action against Israel.
An Israeli official and a European diplomat said Faaborg-Andersen called Eran Lerman, Israels National Security Council official in charge of foreign policy, and expressed deep concern over the plan for a new wave of construction. He approached Foreign Ministry officials with the same concern. At the same time, the British ambassador in Israel, Matthew Gould, conveyed an identical message in talks with senior Israeli Foreign Ministry officials.
A week ago, Haaretz disclosed that the ambassadors from Britain, Germany, France, Spain and Italy had met with the acting director general of the Israeli Foreign Ministry, Nissim Ben-Sheetrit, and demanded that Israel not announce new construction in West Bank settlements to follow the release of the Palestinian prisoners. The ambassadors warned that if the peace process collapsed in the wake of a new announcement of settlement construction, the EU would place the blame on Israel.

Is there a way to get the articles without doing so?

Apparently of you Google the first few lines of the article it shows up in a blog where you can read the article ...it never worked for me though...

(14,851 posts)Just do not get the point of it.

(35,977 posts)If you really don't get the point of it, you could always post in ATA and ask the admin why they've included the functionality.
R. Daneel Olivaw
(12,606 posts)Then what? Will they curl up in a ball then whimper in political correct fear of being labeled anti-Semites?

But you are correct, dave. For every EU country that criticizes Israel for human rights violations there will be an army of asshole-apologists screaming bigotry because Holocaust, Holocaust insert accusation of the day.
And it will probably work in some quarters.
Not forever.
King_David
(14,851 posts)Yes.
Especially since they are 'United' now, unless your Greece then they may just drop you like a hot potato.
R. Daneel Olivaw
(12,606 posts)But if Israel treats the Palestinians as the Europeans treated the Jews then in for a penny in for a pound.
There's not much to accusations at that point. Well there is if one is a hypocrite.

(14,851 posts)I will not comment on a post that is against DU rules. (and is offensive bigoted garbage)
R. Daneel Olivaw
(12,606 posts)Bye bye.
King_David
(14,851 posts)effort by a group that wants an echo chamber here on DU IP.
I embrace your Ignore, you will just be missing out on the most terriific and intellectually challenging posts in the forum.
Le Chaim to your clan's 'ignores'.

(35,977 posts)DU doesn't have rules, it has community standards. If you think a post is offensive you should alert on it.
Wasn't this the same DUer you accused of being anti-Semitic and homophobic a few days ago? If so, I totally understand why they've taken offense at yr approach to them...
King_David
(14,851 posts)Nope,
Can you find the offensive post I was referencing?
Well find the post and explain why I was wrong.
Violet_Crumble
(35,977 posts)I don't understand yr question. What offensive post you were referencing? I was talking about the false accusations you've made frequently in this forum, not what you were replying to.
King_David
(14,851 posts)Show me where,find me the post and explain to me why it is 'false'.
Which post are you talking about?
If it is 'a few days ago' it must be easy for you to find,I am sure.

(14,851 posts)I said : 'proHamas types hate both the Jews and the Homosexuals'
And if you followed the whole thread I was illustrating to Jefferson23 calling myself a Pro-Settler falsely would be equivelant to me calling someone else an antisemite/homophobe. Context is everything.
Violet_Crumble
(35,977 posts)You prefaced it by telling them they were hateful and then said 'Is that hate because I'm Jewish or because I'm gay ? ' and finished with the line about pro-Hamas types thinking like that.
