Europe continues to condemn terrorism; it is most certainly not suggesting to the Palestinians that violence is the way to go. The main difference between your views and those of Europe is that we see that both sides are to blame, not only the Arabs. <snip> > In the meantime, the only possible path to peace in the Middle East is > for the international community to finally start calling terorism > exactly what is - EVIL. Europe does condemn terrorism. What more do you expect us to say? That all Arabs are terrorists and Israel is merely a poor innocent victim?

Oh, so now it is all the fault of the international community? First it was the evil Arabs, now it is the international community. Need I point out that the US is part of the international community? Or do you actually mean "Europe" when you say "international community"?
