i don't really know about the flow of money from eastern european countries to
israel, although i don't doubt that they exist. unfortunately there are no eu sanctions,
but on the other hand, of how many eu sanctions have you heard? there have been
some, but they are a rarity. un sanctions are more popular, because they represent
a worldwide legitimacy. unfortunately, as we all know, those are not going to enforced,
if it concearns israel, as the usa are quick to oppose any actions.

but there was a huge outcry against the results of sharon's latest visit to the us and
against sharon's change of policy regarding arafat's immunity. there aren't many
actions yet, but at least official voices are getting loud that criticize israel's policy.
and what i find rather disturbing is that the more israel shocks us with it's fatal policy,
and the more we are reminded how few options we have to stop that insanity, the
more we tend to understand - NOT APROVE OF! - the situation that drives certain
palestinians to terrorist actions. i mean i am not even concearned and still the
attrocities committed on each side make me angry. i don't want to imagine how i'd
feel, if i were directly concearned.
