The Palestinians support a horrific culture. Suicide bombing is encouraged; there is no punishment to men for so-called "honor killings" of women; candies are handed out to children to celebrate death. It's a nightmare world. Now all this is officially sanctioned behavior by the government of the state. Now Europe can no longer look the other way:
The EU has given millions of euros (dollars) in aid to the Palestinian Authority to help reconstruction efforts in the Gaza Strip and the West Bank _ funding that was called into question following Hamas' win.
"It is obvious that the EU would never countenance funding a regime that continued an armed fight against Israel," said Ignasi Guardans, a Spanish member of the European Parliament.
Even Liberals in the U.S. may start to face up to the facts of what evil is being done in the Palestinian territories.
COHOES, N.Y. -- Sen. Hillary Rodham Clinton said Thursday the United States and all other governments should not recognize any Hamas-led Palestinian government unless the group renounces violence and recognizes Israel's right to exist.
It will be far more difficult now for the world to condemn Israel for actions it takes -- as any nation would -- toward a nation that has an official policy of destroying it.
Even the U.N. will likely have to face the fact that the Palestinian nation is a rogue state. From the U.N. Charter:
Article: 1
The Purposes of the United Nations are:
* To maintain international peace and security, and to that end: to take effective collective measures for the prevention and removal of threats to the peace, and for the suppression of acts of aggression or other breaches of the peace, and to bring about by peaceful means, and in conformity with the principles of justice and international law, adjustment or settlement of international disputes or situations which might lead to a breach of the peace;
* To develop friendly relations among nations based on respect for the principle of equal rights and self-determination of peoples, and to take other appropriate measures to strengthen universal peace;
* To achieve international co-operation in solving international problems of an economic, social, cultural, or humanitarian character, and in promoting and encouraging respect for human rights and for fundamental freedoms for all without distinction as to race, sex, language, or religion; and
* To be a centre for harmonizing the actions of nations in the attainment of these common ends.
The Hamas government is undeniably in violation of the state actions required by the U.N. charter.
