Europeans about to abandon Israel....
How on earth could they abandon these 3 preconditions???
With realignment apparently dead and any diplomatic process with the Palestinians stagnant, some voices inside the EU are calling for the three preconditions to talks with Hamas to be "revisited," The Jerusalem Post has learned.Amazing....recognition of Israel doesn't have to be upfront??? What kind of signal is this to be sending to Hamas??? Well, actually the signal is clear - the Europeans just aren't committed to the survival of Israel.
These voices, according to European officials, are not advocating dropping the three conditions - ending terrorism, accepting previous agreements and recognizing Israel - but rather staggering them so an opening is created for talks with the Palestinian Authority.
"No one is questioning the need for the three conditions," a senior European diplomatic source said. "But maybe if you cannot get wholesale adherence by Hamas to these three conditions, why not start with one, and see where that gets us."
He said that the one condition that should be insisted upon is an immediate stop to terrorism. "That is more important than the rest," he said. "After that, we could talk about getting them to accept the Oslo framework."
This, he said, could then lead to the implied recognition of Israel, because the Oslo framework is predicated on a two-state solution.
"But this [recognition of Israel] is not something that needs to be up front," he said.

Eurabians don't want to upset their new masters, they like the nice slow peaceful surrender they're doing just fine...
Europeans want to join the winning army. There's a very insightful comment by 'Columba' about why it's impossible to reason with Muslims, at

"It's significant that most other belief systems (including secular ones) base their truth claims on ... well, truth. Someone converting to the belief system would do so on the grounds that the system had somehow proven itself to be a valid way of looking at everything.
Islam's call to conversion is entirely different; it's based on power. Not just the threat "convert or die," but even the claim that "Islam is stronger," a claim we've been hearing more frequently these days. Not that it's true, but that it holds power.
There's little attempt to convince intellectually, but rather a call to join the winning army: might makes right. And that's a powerful appeal to people already inclined toward arrogance and violence."
