Hamas’s Conservative Friends

I was unsurprised when I read the headline:

EU nations urged to accept Hamas

What surpised me was who said it:

The leader of the European Union's election-monitoring team which oversaw the vote last Wednesday, Conservative MEP Edward McMillan-Scott, said the gesture should come at talks between EU foreign ministers in Brussels on Monday.

He joins the long list of Conservatives who have shamefully decided that right and wrong are not as important as an easy life. The list is of course topped by Mr Chamberlain, but includes Milosevic lovers in the Major administration among others. Whatever the suffering of the ordinary Palestinians, we should never recognise a government that refuses to renounce terrorist violence. Look for the EU to make Grand statements, big pronouncements, and then resume sending our cash to support murderers.
