About 20 percent of the Members of the European Parliament are friends of Israel. Another 20 percent are clear friends of the Palestinian people, while the remaining 60 percent like to sit on the fence. Some of Israel's friends are outspoken; many prefer to keep a low profile.

Not sure how that is biased then, but there you go.

Quote:

"There are also some smaller groups. One is Independence and Democracy (IND/DEM) with thirty-three MEPs. This includes the British members of the UKIP party who are only interested in having Great Britain withdraw from the EU. My colleagues and I were members of that group and many of its MEPs were supportive of Israel.

As we found out with Knapmans parting gift of taking sides.

Read the whole article. It reminds me why I zero time for organised religion.

There are some continental european politicians who, in pursuit of votes from some of those of the Islamic faith, are biased against Israel.

Just like the fact that the majority of the EU hierarchy and its so-called 'Parliament' are anti-British in general and anti-English in particular.
