They accused of being hand in hand with israel. I was speaking to an elderly gentleman. He said, you know, this is the 1st time in my life that i actually see our own security forces coming into a palestinian home and beating someone to death because they dont agree with our policies. Divisions within the European Union have been laid bare at the 2nd day of a Leader Summit in brussels.
