The Dark Irony of the EU's Attack on Israel

I find it darkly ironic that people criticized the Jews in WWII for not fighting back sufficiently against the Nazis (although one of these days I plan to write a post showing that they fought back much more than people know), and now the Jews are criticized for fighting back against an enemy that is at least equally murderous.

It is also darkly ironic that most European countries that were occupied by the Nazis had a great many citizens who voluntarily cooperated with rounding up their own Jews for the slaughter. Now the European Union would like to give Israel Hobson’s choice: let yourself be murdered by barbarous neighbors, or we will squeeze you to death financially.
