Ze’ev Schiff states the obvious fact that can’t be repeated enough—because the world just doesn’t want to hear it: Israel is not allowed to defend itself. (Hat tip: Joel G.)

A few days after the publication of the report in which the Europeans admit anti-Semitism has worsened there, Europe took another step from which the same stench rises. The European parliament effectively redefined Israel’s self-defense against terror as an “act of terror,” because Palestinian civilians are hurt in the war.

The background to the decision was the assassination of Sheikh Ahmed Yassin - the person who effectively invented and encouraged the suicide terror, and who recently allowed women to conduct suicide terror missions. Nothing was said, for example, about the latest suicide terror attack in Ashdod port, in which 10 Israelis were killed, and which preceded the Yassin assassination. That is the same self-righteous Europe with air forces that bombed Yugoslavia for 73 days, even though no European state was threatened by any existential danger.

Read it all, won’t you?
