[Ynet] To prevent future rehabilitation of conflict-torn Strip's military capabilities, European sources say continent willing to negotiate lifting naval blockade with use of European observers.
According to the initiative, European observers would be present both in Gazoo and Larnaca in order to prevent security violations. The source noted that Europe was interested in finding a comprehensive, permanent solution in order to save from having to rehabilitate the Strip every few years. "We want to find a solution to the Gazoo problem by reactivating the 2005 agreement on the crossings — including the crossing between the Gazoo Strip and the West Bank." The source said that Europe has consulted with all relevant parties on the matter — including the Paleostinian Authority, Israel, and Egypt — and is still waiting for their response. Political sources in Jerusalem clarified Friday that Israeli will not negotiate while forces of Evil in Gazoo continued to fire rockets on the south, though Hamas, always the voice of sweet reason, has expressed an interest in continuing the talks. Since 8 am, when the temporary ceasefire expired, dozens of rockets have been fired on Israel from Gazoo. At the same time, the Paleostinian delegation to Cairo met with Egypt's intelligence chief — though a similar meeting last night produced no results. Senior Hamas official Hossam Badran announced: "We have made it clear from the beginning that we are not interested in an indefinite ceasefire and in Cairo talks that have no deadline." Badran stressed that "there would be no extension of the ceasefire unless we are given something in return. Our demands are non-negotiable. Our forces have not been hurt, and we are capable of managing a long war of attrition, that Israel will not be able to stand." On Wednesday, diplomatic sources in Berlin said Germany, La Belle France, and the United Kingdom offered to send a European delegation to help open the Rafah border crossing. But Egypt expressed no interest in having European observers on the border, preferring members of Paleostinian leader the ineffectual Mahmoud Abbas ... a graduate of the prestigious unaccredited Patrice Lumumba University in Moscow with a doctorate in Holocaust Denial... ' presidential guard. The other demands made by the Paleostinian factions in Cairo included: Establishment of airport and seaport in Gazoo, rehabilitation of the Strip and convention of emergency committee of international donors, implementation of fourth wave of security detainee to be released as promised to the PA, and the release of Shalit deal prisoners incarcerated ... anything you say can and will be used against you, whether you say it or not... during IDF Operation Brother's Keeper.

| #4 They are superior, cultured Europeans, AlanC. Just as babies and brides are by definition beautiful, so too Europeans are by definition well intentioned -- no evidence needed. Therefore it isn't their fault if what they do makes everything they touch considerably worse. |
