New article: How Europe aids the Occupation – David Cronin interviewed
Electronic Intifada, 20th December 2010
In his new book Europe’s Alliance with Israel: Aiding the Occupation, journalist David Cronin traces the intricacies of the relationship between the State of Israel and institutions such as the European Union and NATO. In doing so, it exposes the bad faith behind Europe’s position as a neutral force and its claims to support the basic rights of the Palestinian people.

Silvia Cattori sent me a link to an improved version of the translation (for which many thanks). It’s posted on her website here: http://www.silviacattori.net/article1441.html. She also added it to the Voltaire network website of ‘non-aligned press.’ Wow. My writing looks so much better in French :-) http://www.voltairenet.org/article167950.html.
Received, I think from Canada, via the Voltairenet.org in response to the translated version of my interview with David Cronin:
Good morning: Thank you for the VoltaireNet interview on the EUs backing of Israeli ethnic cleansing and other illegal actions against Palestinians. As a person of Jewish ancestry, I think that it is suicidal what Israel is doing to Palestinians, and that the US, UK, and EU support of Israeli militarism is essentially motivated by deep anti-Semitism. A look at a map should show anyone that it is not a good idea for a small nation to systematically attack, dispossess, oppress, humiliate and harm its Arab citizens and neighbors. It is dangerous for a small nation to set the precedent that illegality, war, and ethnic hatred are the standards of justice. To encourage and fund Israel in these practices shows disregard for the long-term well being of Jewish people.
