This really is a declaration of war by the EU on Israel. They have no respect for Israeli sovereignty; none whatsoever. If the USA had any guts, we'd send troops into the Berlaymont Building right now.

OK, eurabians, fund the projects. Guess who will own the infrastructure when you are done spending the money? Bingo!

"European funding of vital projects ..."

The Europeans are going to find that soon "vital projects" will mean putting down violent insurrections in their own countries as they collapse. They are not going to have time and money to meddle where they don't belong.

I think I'm as much a supporter of Israel as anyone here, but why exactly should we (Americans) send troops anywhere because of an act of war against Israel?

Have we ever done so? Has Israel ever even hinted at such a request?

And, BTW, I do think I pay a lot of attention, but I had to look up what this Berlaymont Building is. (It's some European Hdqrs Bldg in Brussels.)

Also, acts of war against Israel are exceedingly common in case you haven't noticed, but this is the first call I've seen by anyone for American intervention. Did I miss the others or is there something special about this one?

Pathetic Euros have a hard on for the Muzzies. How naive and stupid is this?

But Area C is not sovereign Israeli territory. Israel has never annexed those territories. Israeli law does not apply in those territories (its under military administration). The official Israeli status of those territories has since 1967 been set as ‘disputed’ by Meir Shagmar the AG at the time.

I think the Berlaymont Building is on sovereign Belgian land though.
