Ben Caspit, Maariv, December 7 2009
"After a long period of frustration, Abu Mazen finally has an international diplomatic achievement: apparently, the Israeli-Palestinian battle over the EU Council of Foreign Ministers in Brussels today will end with a clear Palestinian victory....
.....Jerusalem officials expressed disappointment over the fact that the United States did not involve itself with the Europeans in any real sense, and that the frantic telephone campaign that the prime minister himself conducted over the past several days was fruitless.
Diplomatic officials in Jerusalem are angry mainly with Sweden, calling it “the most sanctimonious and hypocritical capital in Europe.” As far as the Israeli Foreign Ministry is concerned: “London’s positions are disappointing,” a high-ranking diplomatic official said. “It is cooperating with Israel on the Iranian subject, but when it comes to the Palestinians, it takes a hostile line.”

Boohoohoo.
"... sanctimonious and hypocritical ..."
ReplyDeleteWhat's wrong with those Swedes? Time they joined the big boys and waded in the blood of innocents.
Sounds like the last dying gasp of someone watching their dream in its death throes, however many smiley faces you put on to cover your desperation.
ReplyDeleteSounds like many other countries are developing "Israel fatigue." Good riddance to bad rubbish and to the SLC.
