EU Detached from Reality over E1
(Ynet News) Yochanan Visser - Reading the EU Foreign Affairs Council statement issued last week about the "Middle East Peace Process" brings to light that the EU obviously bases its policy on information from Palestinian sources or from NGOs affiliated with the Palestinians. The EU even claimed that the E1 plan "could entail the forced transfer of civilian population." E1 is an area almost empty of residents. The only Palestinians living there are illegally dwelling in the area, which has been the scene of relentless illegal Palestinian building and land grabs by Bedouin tribes. Building in E1 will not threaten the contiguity of a Palestinian state because east of Maale Adumim at least 15 km. of land remains to connect the north West Bank to the south.
