EU calls for immediate end to violence in Gaza Strip
Dec 27, 2008, 14:06 GMT
Paris - The European Union on Saturday called for an immediate end to hostilities in the Gaza Strip, following Israeli airstrikes on the territory which have left at least 155 people dead.
The EU also criticized what it called Israel's disproportionate use of force, in a statement from the current presidency of the union in Paris.
The French foreign ministry on behalf of the EU renewed its call for a permanent ceasefire between Hamas and Israel, and said that there could be no military solution to the conflict in the Gaza Strip.
All crossing points into Gaza should be opened, to allow the supply of food and fuel to the Strip, which has suffered under an economic and military blockade by Israel since 2007, the statement said.
The EU called on Gaza's neighbouring territories, in particular Egypt, to exert every effort to arrange a ceasefire.

To the EU (Alias the best Dhimmi Fascists in Europe)
You cannot be taken any more serious than the Islamic Fascists of the Middle East. Can you look at yourselves and make decisions and announcements based upon reason. I doubt it.
To make such irrational judgements and comments based upon a misguided evil ideology called moral relativism only advertises the state of denial that you all live in. You a pathetic. Europe is falling apart and instead of being a defender of your indigenous peoples you betray them to an enemy that for more than 1300 years has wanted to enter the front door and very nearly did.
You have forgotten what evil is and that it has to be dealt with in no uncertain terms. Would your response be the same if Hamas fired thousands of rockets into Paris or Berlin?
Wake up you arrogant imbeciles before it is to late.
