Israel is a natural trading partner and ally of the EU area,
This is repeated ad nauseum, until it is accepted. Why is Israel a natural trading partner of Europe? What is a natural trading partner? Natural trading partners of Europe would be Saudi Arabia, Iran, etc., because they have oil that Europe wants.
but local politics, not to mention anti-Semitism, make the Palestinian sympathy a better public stance. That's why they want America to take a strong pro-Israel lead, so they can complain about it.
I think you mean anti-Jewish sentiment. Anti-Semitism among the European elite is what Gustave is talking about, while the pro-Semitic minorities are against this pandering to Israel.
