| EU: European taxpayers bear the burden of settlements |
| 2009-07-06 |
| Israel's settlement policy helps strangle the Palestinian economy and makes the Palestinian government more dependent on foreign aid, the European Commission said Monday. In an unusually harsh statement, the commission said that "it is the European taxpayers who pay most of the price of this dependence." Some things never change---not in Europe |

| #1 Perhaps the European taxpayers should choose to discontinue paying. Foreign aid is a discretionary item in the budget, after all, quite unlike pensions and social welfare/social security payments to citizens. |
