The EU is reportedly considering economic isolation (from the EU, anyway) of Israel to put pressure on it to leave the Palestinians alone.

Question. If the Palestinian Authority is ultimately a terrorist organization — and it appears to be — and if the EU is doing things to support it, does not this mean that the EU is ‘harboring’ terrorists? Exactly what ‘harbor’ means in this context is very hazy — which is why Bush used it, I think — but it seems to me that ‘using one’s political and economic power to allow unfettered operation’ definitely qualifies.

So should we expect to see the USS Enterprise sitting off Oostende soon, launching attacks on Brussels?
