Israel's affront goes unpunished

Israel's most recent affront should should have consequences, writes the left-liberal daily De Volkskrant: "The one rogue state, Iran, is being threatened with sanctions for failing to cooperate. Meanwhile the other rogue state, Israel, continues with its land-robbing policy with impunity. It believes that it is protected by international law and couldn't care less about UN resolutions. … The state of Israel is increasingly becoming a millstone round our neck. Its annexationist collision course has poisoned our relations with the Islam world. Our interest in candid relations with the latter goes much further than Israel's obsession because it affects our own security, and because the tolerance of Israel's bad conduct is stirring up more hatred of the West in the Middle East, which finds its expression in terrorist attacks from Madrid to London."
