Three senior Hamas members said their group has been talking to European Union diplomats regularly. EU officials denied the contacts, but acknowledged that meetings with Hamas may be inevitable now that Hamas won control of dozens of West Bank and Gaza towns in recent local elections.
This is just one more reason I have so much to say, about the direction Europe is headed. They are in bed with terrorists and are blind to the fact that these people are cold-blooded killers that kill innocent people (at the drop of a hat), solely for the advancement of their agendas.
But the sad part is, they don't even have the integrity to admit it, now that they are caught red-handed. The old " uh, well, no we haven't, but we may have to in the future" response is comparable to a response that a kid caught in a lie, would give.
Well, as you can imagine, Israel isn't too happy either:
"We believe Europeans should be strengthening moderate Palestinians and not appeasing the extremists," said Israel Foreign Ministry spokesman Mark Regev. "Anything that demonstrates acceptance of Hamas as a legitimate player is a problem."
I am with Israel on this.
Hamas is responsible for countless innocent Israeli deaths over the years and for the EU to recognize them, is nothing more than another slap in the face of the overall peace process. To coddle the extremists while ignoring the moderates, only gives legitimacy to terrorism and de-legitimizes those that are against it. It says, "Go ahead. Make enough noise, throw enough fits, and we'll give into you, just to shut you up.".
Israel and the U.S. lobbied hard in 2003 for Europe to include Hamas on its terrorist list. Signs that Europe may now be softening that stance — including calls by some to differentiate between Hamas' political and military wings — have alarmed Israeli officials, who said they've expressed their displeasure to EU officials, including during discussions on Thursday.
Can you imagine the outrage if someday, the EU recognizes and meets with Al-Qaeda, simply because they have won a significant amount of sympathy in the Muslim world? Can you imagine a political wing of Al-Qaeda developing, completely independent of the armed terrorist network?

Europe is a cesspool of Islamofacists; there is little doubt in my mind that Europeans are up to their old tricks again: appeasement. They sure don't want any 9/11 or 3/11 incidents in their back yard.
What the Islamic warriors of long ago failed to achieve through conquest, they have finally achieved through immigration.
Europe has the Arab influx and we have the Mexican influx.
