The EU says they’re going to have a difficult time giving money to the PA if the Hamas becomes a large part of the PA.
I’m of the opinion that they’ll get over it.
RAMALLAH (AFP) — Europe will have to re-evaluate its links with the Palestinians in the event of a Hamas victory in next week’s legislative elections, Spain’s Foreign Minister Miguel Angel Moratinos said Monday.
Asked about how a Hamas victory would impact on future European financial aid to the Palestinian Authority, Moratinos told reporters in Ramallah that “the necessary evaluations” would have to be made and “a decision would be taken” with regard to funding.
But he, nonetheless, defended Hamas’ right to run in the parliamentary poll and said Europe would honour the outcome.
“We will respect the result of these democratic Palestinian elections in which we believe all political groups should participate,” said Moratinos who is a former European Union envoy to the region.
Yeah, they’ll get over it.
Moratinos also said that all political groups “whether Hamas or any another party,” should benefit from a level playing field in terms of the right to campaign, in a clear reference to Israel’s decision to ban the movement from campaigning in occupied and annexed East Jerusalem.
You see what I’m saying. They’ll get over it.
The U.S. Congress will not, but the EU will have no real problem sending money to terrorists.
They already do.
They’re increasing funding for the “elections” as well as planning on doing some projects in Gaza.
I look forward to watching those projects burn or get crushed under Merkava treads.
You are quite right that they will get over their reluctance easily enough, Meryl. We wouldn’t want the EUnuchs to be hypocritical, after all. Why should they balk at funding the PA just because the Will of the Palestinian Arab People has put it in the hands of a group that disdains to hide its genocidal intentions, even behind the fig leaf that Fatah and its fellow terrorist groups use?
Oy, that’s going to cut into their suicide belt budget!
