#1 One of the biggest ironies in our times? That most of the people in the continent which brought the world the Holocaust, and who, by their own admission, have suffered national shame and personal horror for the anti-Semitic crimes of their political leaders and populaces, are not seeking a fair life for Jews, helping them to live in this world with security and respect, but instead are enabling the suffering but misguided Palestinians to fixate on violence as the solution--Palestinians whose terrorists are trying to accomplish what Hitler couldn't: extermination of the Jews.

#2 Because the pro-Palestinian cause depends on competition for sympathy. The Palestinians suffer more (which is true), therefore they are morally superior (which isn't true).

Another monumental load of horseradish. The majority of Palestinian suffering has been brought about, not by Israel, but by Arafat and the other terrorist leaders who have steered their people on a dead-end political course.

Regardless of their dubious intentions, Egypt's calling for Arafat to step down or be subject to Sharon's tender mercies is ample demonstration that even the Arab world has begun to realize how the festering sore of Palestinian terror is doing no one any good, least of all the Palestinians themselves.

With scar tissue from the Holocaust still bright pink within the minds of so many Europeans, that they have begun reverting to anti-Semitism again is a core indicator of residual bigotry that will bring upon them more Madrid atrocities. As Islamists focus their displeasure upon all who defy the jihadi's avowed intent to impose global Sharia law, Europe must quickly and decisively move towards an active stance against terrorism. In an ultimate irony, their continued support for Palestine's cause has only legitimized the terror with which they shall be attacked.
