Ilka Schroeder, a 25 year old former German Green Party member, who is now a member of the EU Parliament, has delivered an important address at the Center for German Studies of Ben Gurion University in Israel. She characterized the Palestinian Intifada as a European proxy war on America.

"The Europeans supported the Palestinian Authority with the aim of becoming its main sponsor, and through this, challenge the U.S. and present themselves as the future global power. Therefore, the Al—Aksa Intifada should be understood as a proxy war between Europe and the United States."

Schroeder would seem to be following the path of David Horowitz, from radical leftist to conservative truth—teller. Her 'conversion experience' consisted of launching an investigation into the diversion of £ 250 million in EU aid for the Palestinian people into corrupt uses, including the financing of terror attacks on innocent civilians. She characterizes this diversion as an 'open secret' within EU officialdom, one which has the implicit endorsement of the EU powers that be.

Read the article. It marks an important moment in the EU's self—understanding, and in America's and other freedom—loving peoples' — including especially Israel — understanding of the real motives of Europe's ruling elites.
