Jerusalem hails European condemnation of Hamas violence; EU condemns rocket fire, calls for renunciation of violence. Israel received a strong back-wind from an unlikely source on Tuesday, when the EU issued a statement strongly denouncing Hamas and condemning their use of civilians as human shields.
The EU's foreign ministers, following a monthly meeting in Brussels, issued a statement on the Middle East condemning “the indiscriminate firing of rockets into Israel by Hamas and militant groups in the Gaza Strip, directly harming civilians. These are criminal and unjustifiable acts.”
The statement also called on Hamas to immediately put an end to its rocket attacks, and to renounce violence. “All terrorist groups in Gaza must disarm. The EU strongly condemns calls on the civilian population of Gaza to provide themselves as human shields. “

Wow is right. What is happening? Hamas out of rockets? they need a cease fire to re-up weapons and tunnels?
I think you are correct. For Anti-Christ Europe to call for Hamas to do this means one thing: They are out of rockets and need to resupply.
Not according to the IDF. Hamas has enough rockets to go for another month!

If their usual allies are calling for them to back off, perhaps Hamas has overplayed their hand...
I do believe they have, along with Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s excellent handling of the situation.
Way to go Obama voters, you ignorant sheeple. You and your masters won't be happy until rockets are raining down on US.

Quite a contrast, isn’t it?
Israel has no problem in letting through aid to the Palestinian civilians through the borders that they control. Israel makes a distinction between Hamas as a terrorist organization and the Palestinian civilians living there.
I think the EU is concerned about their enemy within.
EU is calling Hamas down and we are giving Palestinians money and asking Israel to cease war even tho Palies won’t agree to cease.
Way to go Obama voters, you ignorant sheeple. You and your masters won’t be happy until rockets are raining down on US.
Obama is giving Abbas 45 million USD and Abbas is in a unity government with HamAss so they will have more money to spend on weapons.
Also, I don’t know if this was reported here but Abbas has sent his wife and all his grandkids to live in Jordan.
Something is up when Abbas sends his family out of the country.
Newsflash! EU also just bought the Brooklyn Bridge from a traveling salesman, along with rose-colored glasses and lots and lots of happy juice. Then they called on Hamas to disarm.

Israel is wrong to make that distinction. It’s demonstrably untrue.
