European Gov’ts Aghast At Notion They Shouldn’t Fund Palestinian Violence

“Whoever argues for us to take into account the concerns of Jews about their safety and security must have forgotten whom they’re addressing.”

Amsterdam, July 22 – Continental states voiced shock today upon encountering the criticism of their providing money to Palestinian groups and individuals who engage in terrorism against Israel, and asserted that objections to those aid policies constitute a violation of the countries’ sovereign right to violate the sovereignty of Israel.

Various figures in the national governments of the Netherlands, Belgium, Germany, France, Sweden, and several individual German states, as well as of the European Commission itself, expressed outrage this week at mention of the notion that they must not fund violent activities against Israel, Israeli Jews in particular. The figures gave indignant responses to questions highlighting the provision of European aid money to convicted Palestinian terrorists, to organizations run by Palestinian terrorists, and to Palestinians who have supported terrorism against Israel either in material or rhetorical form.

“What an absurd suggestion,” spat Anne Tijsemeit, a deputy minister in the Netherlands Ministry of Foreign Affairs. “Why would anyone think it improper to support Palestinian national self-determination by any means, including but not limited to paying Palestinians who murder Jewish teenage girls? It’s almost as if the parties suggesting it think it not coincidental that the Netherlands boasted the highest percentage of its Jews killed in the Holocaust among all Western European countries.”

“Impudence, that’s what it is,” remarked a German official in the state of Hesse. “It is the height of arrogance to tell Europeans they may not contribute to the curtailment of Jewish rights, as if such rights even exist in the European psyche. Whoever argues for us to take into account the concerns of Jews about their safety and security must have forgotten whom they’re addressing.”

The issue has gained prominence in recent days and weeks following revelations that Dutch government figures knowingly funded the salaries of the terrorists behind the murder of seventeen-year-old Rina Schnerb last year. Documents have belied those officials’ assertions they were only informed of the recipients’ reputations after the funding had reached them; other officials have attempted to downplay the significance of the phenoenon.

“Oh, come on,” argued a Belgian parliamentarian. “Dead Jews have always been the price of progress. For example, we want our society to be more tolerant and accepting of Muslims, so we do nothing to stop the most violent among them from attacking Jews or Jewish institutions. It would be hypocritical to alter that approach beyond our borders. I’m not going to lose any sleep over a few thousand dead Israelis, should it come to that – I don’t actually care how many – if it’s in the interest of making our Muslim brethren here in Europe feel at home.”
