The EU seems to be waking up to the fact that all of the billions they have funneled into the terrorist organization known as the P.A. (Palestine Authority) for decades has been wasted. Unfortunately however, they have decided to blame this on the Jews.

The European Commission issued a statement Monday blaming Israel for the fact that aid money has not succeeded in stabilizing the Palestinian Authority economy. Despite decades of aid, much of it from Europe, the PA economy remains in shambles.
According to the commission, the fault lies with Jews living in Judea and Samaria. Jews take fertile land that could otherwise be used for Arab agriculture and their presence leads to restrictions on Arab travel, spokesmen said. Travel restrictions also harm the PA economy, they claimed.
“It is the European taxpayers who pay most of the price of this [PA] dependence” on aid, the commission concluded.
The EU funds the PA and Gaza to the tune of hundreds of millions of dollars per year. European countries have poured $280 million in aid into PA coffers in the first half of 2009 alone.
Despite the aid, the PA regularly reports a budget deficit. Much of the budget goes to pay salaries – the PA employs roughly 160,000 people, including many PA loyalists in Gaza who receive paychecks despite being without work since the Hamas takeover in 2007.

This response is dispicable, and the Europeans are shameless. To them, the murdering Phakestinians can do no wrong. In 2005, Israel donated to the Phakestinians fully working greenhouses, synagogues, and other buildings to be used as their infrastructure. They destroyed them, and used them for terrorism instead. Since 1967, Israel has been giving the Phakestinians money, electricity, water, etc.
Despite all of this, the pathetic Europeans are once again simply blaming the Jews, and excusing the horrid behavior of the terrorist Phakestinians. This “blame the Jew” mentality seems to have become reflexive, and internationally accepted. It is truly a shame.
