The Turks are right about the possibility of war -- it would be more dangerous than the situation in Afghanistan.

The other comment from Turkey, and the one from Jordan are for public consumption. Both have fairly good relations with Israel, and Jordan has no love for Palestinians.

The EU depends too much on Arab oil to piss anybody off. They are trying to give Austria to Hitler again.

Countries in the EU also have far more Arab residents than Jewish residents.

For that matter, it will only be a matter of time before these EU countries have more Arab residents than European residents.

It looks to me like this IS the start of the larger war in the mideast, and everyone is choosing up sides-- although possibly what they're saying for public consumption isn't a reliable indicator of which side they will ultimately be on. Nevertheless, it's coming-- if not now, then a few months from now, or even a few years from now. I don't think it will be averted-- I'm not sure there IS any policy that can avert it.

At least I thank God that US policy is finally, and firmly on the right side.

Seems to me that Jordan shoved the Palistinians out of Jordan as low-life ingrates some years back. Perhaps its time for the IDF to do the same.
