EU Subsidizes Middle East Terrorism

[Trans. S. Sharkansky]Thomas Kleine-Brockhoff (Die Zeit) - Stephen Bloomberg was driving home on August 5, 2001, when Palestinian terrorists opened fire at his car. His wife Techiya was killed and he and his 14-year-old daughter Tzippi were seriously injured. The Israelis have in custody the purported shooter, Farid Azouni, a Palestinian policeman, as well as the one who sent him, Samar Abu Hania, the chief of police in Kalkilya. Bloomberg has filed suit in Tel Aviv district court, demanding 20 million Euros in damages from the European Union which transfers 10 million Euros a month to pay the salaries of Arafat's civil servants. "My parents pay taxes in England and look on as their money goes to sponsor an organization that helped kill my wife and injure my child and me," he says. Nasser Awis, a public servant in the Palestinian Authority's General Intelligence service, planned three attacks that left a total of 20 dead and 120 injured. Suicide bomber Mohammad Hashaikh was a policeman from Nablus. Suicide attacker Abdel Karim Abu Nafa was a policeman from Jericho. All civil servants, all subsidized by Europe, all isolated incidents? Everyone involved within Arafat's circle are officials and draw part of their salaries from Europe. They're not stopping terrorism, they're bragging about it.
