Why Israel rankles Europeans so much
2015-02-01
[WashingtonExaminer] JERUSALEM -- "It's only Europe that gives us a hard time," an Israeli minister told me last week, genuinely puzzled. "Yesterday, I had the Canadian foreign minister sitting where you're sitting now. I had a cross-party delegation from the U.S. Senate. I had ministers from India and Japan. All of them understood that Israel was facing a terrorist threat. But the EU starts from the assumption that we're in the wrong. Why?"

#5  When Europe gave up it's right to defend itself with the formation of NATO and security basically being paid by the Americans, they became a fat lazy welfare state. Left leaning liberals colonized the welfare apparatus because that's what they do, redistribute wealth. Being fat and lazy, the EU no longer cares about anything but the next welfare check.
Having the leftists run the welfare economy has basically allowed "the inmates to run the asylum." Or JE SUIS GREECE.
