#4 The earth is square? What? It's not flat? Hamas is really just a Muzzie boy scout group.

#5 Sorry, but the Court's decision has been completely distorted.

They did NOT say that Hamas was not a terrorist organization (and very much stressed the point that this decision should not be construed to mean that).

What they held is that rhe EU decision had been based not on an examination of Hamas' actions, but on "factual imputations derived from the press and the internet".

The court said the move was technical and was not a reassessment of Hamas' classification as a terrorist group.

It said a funding freeze on the group would continue for the time being.

It was probably a correct court decision.

EU decisions to freeze must be based on elements which have been concretely examined and confirmed in decisions of national competent authorities within the meaning of the Common Position.

What they basically said is this: "If you want to label an organization as terrorist and freeze their funds, do it properly and follow your own rules."

Which of course will happen now. The EU will now go ahead and classify Hamas as a terrorist organization, but based on proper findings.

#6 EC. What you said about the reasons forn the court decision is right. What I fear is the EU will "lack time" for reclassifying Hamas and that in 20 years the issue will still be pending.

That is a classic bureaucratic tecnique nfor not doing what you don't want to do but not telling it openly.
