| MP Barghouthi holds EU partially responsible for internal Palestinian problem |
| 2007-09-05 |
| (PIC)-- MP Dr. Mustafa Al-Barghouthi has strongly criticized the statement of EU foreign relations coordinator Javier Solana in which he refused to have talks with the Hamas Movement. He told Quds Press that the EU position in refusing to have talks with Hamas and the national unity government was partially to blame for the Palestinian internal crisis. Barghouthi, who is also the secretary general of the Mubadara party, doubted that the EU would adopt any independent political decisions over Middle East issues away from the American administration and the Hebrew state. The lawmaker stressed that such a position would not allow the EU to play any effective role in the Middle East. Meanwhile, Barghouthi refused PA chief Mahmoud Abbas's edict on the elections, especially setting political conditions for each candidate. Abbas is entitled to propose whatever he likes but the PLC must approve it before its final endorsement, the MP underscored. |

I'm no longer young, not sure I'll be able to handle the surprise. |

After so many years of prolonging the Palestinain farce one would hope the EU has finally realized that it is only Israel—and Israel alone—who actually seeks peace. No other Arab agency anticipates any mutual resolution of the conflict as that would involve recognition of Israel's existence. This is but one of many reasons why Islam as a whole must eventually be regarded as a force inimical to world peace. The lawmaker stressed that such a position would not allow the EU to play any effective role in the Middle East. "You gonna roll over and let Uncle Sam and The Jews tell you how to run your |
