EU Gets Own Pro-Israel Lobby

[name]

It's not like the EU and/or its component states are very inclined to do or say anything against Israel, but since the level of craven boot-licking observed in the US has not yet been reached here, it was obviously deemed necessary to gift us with our own version of the AIPAC.

EU Gets Its Own Pro-Israel Lobby

Jerusalem, Israel (AHN) - European parliamentarians sympathetic to Israel
have formally banded together in the European Union's first official pro-Israel
lobby. They will inaugurate the new "European Friends of Israel" organization
next week, according to Ynet.

The endeavor is reportedly being backed by Jewish businessmen across
the continent.

Organizers hope the lobby will one day enjoy the influence that the American
Israel Public Affairs Committee (AIPAC) has in Washington.

Lobby leader Michel Gur Ari said, "We have set ourselves a target to turn
Europe into Israel's ally."

Yehoshua Ben-Yosef, the lobby's representative in Israel, told Ynet that to
date more than 150 European parliamentarians have joined.

i'm tempted to conclude that they've sucked the US dry, and are looking for greener pastures. it is the power shift from the US to europe which is coming when the US crumbles.

Lobby leader Michel Gur Ari said, "We have set ourselves a target to turn
Europe into Israel's ally."

Maybe it should say, "...they have set themselves up as a target for Israel".

It seems the J-man is back! And he's a raving Zionist, to boot! My oh my, the universe never ceases to amaze me. I am left agog and in awe of Yehoshua Ben-Yosef, Head Israeli Lobbyist, Second Coming of the Lord Our God's only child, Jesus Hesus Christ.
