EU Stance

EU Extremely Ugly Stance Towards
Palestinian Freedom Fighters

Louis Michel, European Commissioner for Development and Humanitarian Aid who visited Jabalia in Gaza strip on 25th January 2009 was quoted by reporters as saying the following:

"Public opinion is fed up to see that we are paying over and over again for infrastructure that will be systematically destroyed,” Then, instead of blaming Israel’s cast lead op against Gaza for such destruction, The EU Aid Commissioner blames Hamas and all freedom fighters in Gaza.

Reuters quoted the EU official as saying that Hamas had used civilians as "human shields" by placing operatives in residential areas”. Did he know that those “operatives” are all residents of Gaza strip defending their own homes, villages and cities? Did they have to defend the strip from the seashore or from moon?

He added that the years of terrorist rocket-fire on southern Israel served as a "provocation.”. Well, what about 60 years of Israeli occupation of Palestine and other Arab lands? Is occupation part of western civilization?

In another statement, He said: "I intentionally say this here - Hamas is a terrorist movement and it has to be denounced as such. Had he read any book about European Resistance Movements of World War II against the Nazi rule? Did he know that groups and organizations that opposed Nazi rule in Europe from 1939 to 1945 were freedom fighters? Had he heard that Charles de Gaulle called on the French people to resist the Nazi occupation in his “call to honour”? Did the Commissioner want Palestinians to surrender? Palestinians are freedom fighter too.

The report also quoted Michel as saying that, "When you kill innocents, it is not resistance. It is terrorism.” Bravo! That applies to Israel! Who bombed Gaza children? Who killed more than 400 children in Gaza in addition to thousands of civilians? Who rained phosphorus bombs over Gaza?

Palestinians, Arabs, Moslems and people of conscience are fed up with such extremely ugly EU stance towards Palestinian freedom fighters.
