Haaretz Talkbacks

Israel need look no further than Oslo. In preparation for a 2 state
solution they withdrew their military from major cities and other areas.
When sustained suicide bombing forced them to re-occupy, the outrage in
the world, particularly europe, was as if Israel were invading fresh
territory.
It`s nice to be popular, but the europeans are the last people Israel
should be taking advice from. It`s easy to "talk" about a two state
solution forever, and maybe that`s the game Israel should be playing
along with. Few smart people actually believe a successful 2 state
solution can be salvaged from negotiations. The Pal. side just isn`t
capable or willing. Instead, "2 state solution" means `something other
than the one state solution of Greater Israel. For serious negotiations
to take place, these things have to be clarified. Of course, the euros
aren`t meant to be taken seriously.

EU froze ties during the gaza war. The EU foreign commissions leader
told the commission to stay away from Israel and ties would not be
upgraded. This happened in January long before Netanyahu.

Let`s see: Israel signs agreements with temporary West Bank government
-then Hamas takes over West Bank neutralizes agreement
and bombs Tel Aviv-then Israel fights back and Europe demands Israel
stop--so the real answer is Europe wants Israel to disappear..
