#1 This is the O-fficial beginning of the end for Arafat. Die Welt is a major Euro newspaper; when the Euro reporters decide to go after you, it's a sign that elk season is open. This is going to make a lot of Euros uncomfortable.

#2 Patten, however, refused to recognize their authenticity and denied they established that Arafat was using EU funds for terror attacks

Chris Patten doesn't even bother to create a facade of evenhandedness. His disdain for Israel is apparent. Even more disturbing, though, is that because of his inaction, the blood of innocents is on his hand -- innocent Israelis who were killed by terrorists and innocent paleos who were used as human shields in Israel's retaliatory efforts. Shame on him. He should be singled out for his responsibility in this tragedy.

#4 Don't expect this to make any difference. Anti-Semitism is alive and well at the top of European Society, especially in the civil service and among elected officials. This, just as the report on rising anti-Semitism in Europe, will be promptly ignored, and things will go on as normal until there's a major boom in Europe, aimed at all political leaders (rather than just singling out the "opposition").

I think Israel should start bulldozing everything in the Gaza and West Bank, push the "fence" back to the Jordanian and Egyptian borders, and frog-march the "palestinians" to and across that border at bayonet-point. Then we'll have "peace" in the Middle East, until the next terrorist attack.

#5 Well, if the report is official and believeable, the EU will be liable in civil suits to the tune of millions (maybe billions) from victims of suicide attacks (about a half dozen Americans have died in such attacks).

As Fred would say, - sympathy meter not registering for the poor EU

#6 Saw a picture of Suha today. She's getting kinda chunky. Could it be the guilt or those good Paris restaurants?
