The Guardian Unlimited, the online version of the London based newspaper The Guardian, article titled "EU Poll Sees Israel as Peace Threat," reported:
"A European Commission opinion poll claims 60% of Europeans see Israel as the greatest threat to world peace... The poll surveyed 7,500 people in 15 EU countries who said Israel was a bigger threat to world peace than Iran, North Korea and the United States."
The survey was carried out in October by EOS Gallup. The pollsters asked 7,515 citizens from the 15 EU member states which countries posed the greatest threat to world peace. In the Netherlands (74 percent), Austria (69 percent) and Germany (65 percent) the largest percentage of people said Israel was a menace. Only Italy broke with the trend with less than half of those polled saying Israel was a threat (48 percent). In second place, after Israel, were Iran, North Korea and the United States, which 53 percent of the EU citizens deemed a threat.
And then the consequences for EU?
The Simon Wiesenthal Center, an international Jewish organization that combats anti-Semitism, condemned the results, and said Israel should "draw the only conclusion possible" and exclude the EU from having a role in any peace process.
LOL :awkward:
