Holland calls off settlement heads' visit

Professional tour of Israeli local authority heads canceled after Dutch Ministry of Foreign Affairs learns list of participants includes mayors of West Bank settlements. Efrat council head: Dutch determined State of Israel's borders.

After European Union calls for extended settlement freeze, Holland refuses to settle for words: A professional tour of Israeli local authority heads to Holland has been canceled, after the Dutch Ministry of Foreign Affairs learned that the list of participants includes mayors of West Bank settlements.

  1. Looks like the people over at the Dutch Ministrty of Foreign Affairs had never heard of Ann Franck. Maybe it's not too late to infuse them with a shot of guilt and put them on the correct path.

    It also shows that Israelis have to be hit with a 2X4 between the eyes to make them realize that stealing land is wrong. Now the Dutch are being accused of meddling in internal Israeli politics. In reality, they are meddling in Palestinian ones. It was great to read that Spain had done the same to the settler-visitors before Holland.
