European Union (EU)16 December 2013Council conclusions on the Middle East Peace ProcessFOREIGN AFFAIRS Council meetingBrussels, 16 December 2013
The Council adopted the following conclusions:...
...7. The EU warns against actions that undermine the negotiations. In this regard, it deplores Israel's continuous expansion of settlements, which are illegal under international law and constitute an obstacle to peace. The Council also expresses its grave concern regarding incitement, incidents of violence in the occupied territory, house demolitions and the deteriorating humanitarian situation in Gaza. The EU expresses its serious concern about actions that undermine the status quo of the holy sites, including in Jerusalem. The European Union will continue to closely monitor the situation and its broader implications, and act accordingly.
Even language is an enemy.
Jewish residencies are deplored but terror by Arabs* is but a matter of grave concern.

But received this:
Are they really talking about terror by Arabs? I read it differently :
The Council also expresses its grave concern regarding incitement, incidents of violence in the occupied territory, house demolitions and the deteriorating humanitarian situation in Gaza..................
Maybe I was wrong?

highlighting the centrality of language is news of the death of Zvi Yanai, who edited a Hebrew-language journal in addition to a lifetime's work in the Zionist cause.
Another lesson from this man's life is the uselessness and the foolishness of allowing the civil organs of the State to get involved with question of religious beliefs and feelings.
If he arrived as a 10-year old immigrant today, would he be allowed to stay? Would he be granted a marriage license?
