MEMRI: Hamas TV Host Criticizes UNRWA for Teaching Holocaust to Palestinian Children
Where Would Hezbollah Be Without the EU? by Douglas Murray
"The EU has been here before. During the same period they came up with their false wall-of-separation within Hezbollah they did the same thing with Hamas.

So far – over a month after the incident – that has not been done.”
