European officials are looking at new ways to press Israel to halt its building of settlements on land the Palestinians want for a state, as frustration over the construction program reaches a new high, European diplomats say.

The discussions are at an early stage, but officials say the European Union may look at stopping Jewish settlers convicted of crimes from visiting the EU and could examine the fine print of a free-trade agreement, although there is no talk of sanctions.

A series of steps by Israel in recent weeks, including the seizure of 1,000 acres of land near the Palestinian town of Bethlehem and plans to build 2,600 settler homes near Jerusalem, has angered the European Union, the United States and the United Nations, fueling calls for a response. …

Israel needs to just keep building her homes and schools ( and IDF bases) and if pressed , tell the EUroNazis to go stick their heads down a toilet. FUeuroNazis!

Only Jews? Only "settlers?" What "crimes" - "Breathing Oxygen While Jewish?"

If the Germans are involved in any way with this, it’ll be easy to shut them up and discredit the entire enterprise.

“Well, Johann, der Jooooos are just lookink for a bissle Lebensraum. Vat ist wrong mit dat?

Oh, I almost forgot: PHUCK Europe - probably the bloodiest continent in human history, with ethnic cleansing after Holocaust after pogrom after massacre to its “credit.” They have NO right to lecture ANYONE about what to do, but most of all the Jews whom they took special care to oppress and murder by the trainload.

Again, PHUCK Europe!

Good old Nazi Europe. Cannot let Jews own property.

I live in Efrat so I’m nominally a settler, and I once took a year to pay a jaywalking ticket. Please. Blackball me before I cheat on my tax returns. If that doesn’t work, I’ll hit a minor in public. Your failure to blackball me is driving me to a life of crime. I know, I’ll blackball myself. I’ll write something offensive to Islam and publish it on the Internet, and then refuse to visit Norway and pay my debt to surrender-monkey society.
