A change in EU attitudes towards Israel? In a briefing to Israeli reporters Tuesday, European commissioner for Justice Freedom and Security, Frano Frattini, said that the steps leading up to the Gaza blackout cannot be construed as a war crime and criticized the incessant Qassam rocket fire on Israeli civilian population centers.
In a lecture sponsored by the Herzliya Interdisciplinary Center, Frattini also issued a massive mea culpa to the State of Israel on behalf of the European community for its treatment of Israel during the second Intifada.
“There has been a large misunderstanding in recent years between Europe and Israel. And Israel is justified in its concerns. For too long, Europe has put too much blame on Israel for lack of peace with the Palestinians. We, as Europeans, should have understood Israel's concerns sooner,” said Frattini.

Farttini is a double dealing turd, not to be trusted.
Type in Franco Frattini in the search window on the sheik yer'mami blog and you'll find all kinds of backtracking/backstabbing anti-free speech & pro-censorship activities. What makes you think this empty suit has a change of heart now?

People CAN change.
It's about time someone in Europe (besides the Pope) acknowledge that their attitude towards Israel has been appallingly biased against them.

Hopefully this means Euros are realizing they backed the wrong horse. After all, the Jews arent the ones that are threatening Euro society. Jews arent rioting over a teddy bear named Moses or a cartoon with Moses in it.

And they certainly wouldn't riot over Warholesque parodies of ol' Mo, like the Muslims would:
