Commenting on how the EU should address Hamas’ election victory, columnist Jonathan Steele of The Guardian went off the deep end:
Above all, Europe should not get hung up on the wrong issues, like armed resistance and the “war on terror”. Murdering a Palestinian politician by a long-range attack that is bound also to kill innocent civilians is morally and legally no better than a suicide bomb on a bus. Hamas’s refusal to give formal recognition of Israel’s right to exist should also not be seen by Europe as an urgent problem.
So what would be the right issues for Europe to get “hung up on?”
