I bet you we'll soon have another version.... In the meantime, watch Europeans' rabid Arabophilia --hey, they even call for a Palestinian State alongside Israel!! What next? Will these anti-Semitic Europeans go as far as drafting a UN resolution envisioning their devious scheme??? God forbid! Saturday, March 16, 2002 Nisan 3, 5762 EU leaders set to call for independent Palestinian state By News Agencies BARCELONA - European Union leaders were set to reaffirm their support on Saturday for the creation of an independent Palestinian state alongside an Israel secure within internationally recognized borders. The 15 leaders discussed the Middle East crisis at a working dinner on Friday evening during summit talks in Barcelona. "(The EU supports) the creation of a democratic, viable and independent Palestinian state, bringing to an end the occupation of territories which began in 1967," Spanish Foreign Minister Josep Pique told reporters after the dinner. He said a declaration due to be issued later on Saturday would pledge strong support for U.S. envoy Anthony Zinni's efforts to mediate a ceasefire in the region. But unlike earlier drafts seen at the summit on Friday, the declaration would not include a call for Israel to respect the fourth Geneva convention, which protects the rights of refugees. Asked to explain the amendment, Pique, whose country holds the EU's rotating presidency, said both sides in the conflict already knew what was required of them under international law. Germany and the Netherlands, which traditionally oppose strong criticism of Israel, had insisted that the line be dropped, one EU diplomat said. [...] haaretz.co.il
