** Does The European Union Actually Expect Radical Islamists to Reform Themselves? ([link removed])

* The European Union's decision to grant the Palestinian Authority (PA) a sum of $2 billion to assist them to "reform themselves" can only be the result of willful blindness, cognitive dissonance and what by now can only be ascribed to a proud European tradition of Jew-hate.
* Israel's warnings of the PA continuing to seize Israel's land by phases -- as planned by the PLO 10-Point Program of 1974 and advanced by former PA Prime Minister Salman Fayyad's plan -- to "create facts on the ground" with illegal buildings -- are largely ignored by the West. So far, the PA, with the funding from the EU, has built more than 97,581 illegal structures on Israeli land that is still to be negotiated.
* The Palestinian Authority also full-throatedly incites terrorism in its education system and bountifully funds terrorist acts. The total so far disbursed as remuneration for the PA's "Pay-for-Slay" program and acts of terrorism reportedly exceeds $1 billion. This transaction has been in place for decades.
* The EU's naiveté (to be kind) is already bringing disaster upon many of its member nations by allowing unlimited Muslim migration, presumably in an unconditional desire for every vote imaginable.
* Israelis are understandably against an untenable two-state solution -- which they accurately see as no solution at all.

The PA, despite claiming to be secular, is saturated with an Islamist mentality in support of jihadists. The PA plays the West by displaying a veneer of reasonableness, victimhood and the bogus claim that it would, in an ever-extending future, accept some kind of peace with the Jews. This fiction is supposedly backed by an equally bogus claim that it would be willing -- under conditions which would always be suicidal for the Jews to accept -- to establish a two-state solution in Israel's ancestral homeland.
