Yes, the peace prize is a joke, unworthy of our consideration – and so is the EU. They have their own problems,and while we may wish them well with them, we should give them no quarter in ours. As you say, Dr. Gordon, we have our history, our memories, and a responsibility to build a nation state of our own where we can welcome all who come in peace and defend ourselves against those who don’t.
The Palestinian Israel conflict has never been more than a tool of the broader Israel Arab conflict. Israel is anathema to the Arab world, and its target.If the EU chooses to condone the threat of the Middle East, so be it. Let us ignore their vanities, their condemnations and their now meaningless prizes, and look to our own.
