| EU 'concerned' by Israeli restrictions on its activities in West Bank |
| 2013-07-27 |
| A spokeswoman for European Union foreign policy chief Catherine Ashton said that Brussels was looking into media reports that Israel was reducing cooperation with EU diplomats seeking to advance projects for the benefit of Palestinians in the West Bank. Israel has blocked the European Union from aiding tens of thousands of Palestinians in the West Bank, in retaliation for an EU ban on financial assistance to Israeli organizations in the territories. The European mind has difficulty grasping the idea of Jews who don't just submit to what "their betters" may decide for them. |

| #17 Keep in mind these are the people that think Al Gore is a God and are about ripe to bow to mecca... Discount England as part of civilized nations. |

| #16 'why do pedestrian crossings signs have silhouettes of men and not women?' Considering that pedestrian crossing signs are adorned with silhouette stick figures, one can only assume that said UK "feminists" wish that said stick figures be wearing dresses. Which doesn't sound terribly feminist. |

| #10 Not sure it is such an old phenomenon as ww2. Women were second class in terms of equality in the workplace up really until the 80's. Legal framework got placed and positive changes did happen early on but I believe most change for the worse came under Tony Blair and New Labour. I'll give you an example of what I mean by 'worse'; I just did a search "history of uk female equality in the workplace" which returned hit after hit on laws I must obey mixed and whinging about how it is still oh so unfair for women, with very little in way of history and celebration. Here's one; I was sat on the N24, a young women behind me made the comment 'why do pedestrian crossings signs have silhouettes of men and not women?' I would have thought there is more to worry about in life and the world than fucking crossing signs but to a socially conditioned woman in the UK it seems this question is of more significance. |

| #9 Israel should make it clear that no Leviathan oil will be sold to EU countries that vote or participate in actions against them. Split the EU up internally |

| #8 The European mind has difficulty grasping the idea... How about "for every action, there is an equal and opposite reaction"? |

| #7 The men that were left at home just weren't up to the job, but, I'm not sure. Posted by AlanC They were serving and dying in Africa and other places. Britain had been at war a few years before us. |

| #6 Yes, the complaint of the Tommies in the latter part of the war was that the Yanks were - over paid, over sexed, and over here. To which the Yanks responded that the Tommies were - under paid, under sexed, and under Monty. |

| #5 TC, A couple of our best friends are "English" females and much as I love them I have to admit that you're correct. Been over there many times and get them in a group and.......oy. My thought is that it has to do with the emasculation of British men as a result of WWI & II. The men that were left at home just weren't up to the job, but, I'm not sure. |

| #4 Catherine Ashton sounds like the name of an English female. There exists no other on Earth as deluded with self importance and as conceited as an English female. Seriously women here really are that bad.. |

| #3 "The West Bank is part of the EU?" THAT was exactly the same thought that went through my mind when I read the headline. Maybe the EUroweenies should come over to the United States and make "suggestions" to us about how we make breakfast or do our laundry. And then complain when we don't "co-operate." |
