One of Those "Oh MY" Posts

A French-Israeli man from Sderot is demanding that the European Union shoulder the cost of making his home rocket-proof, in a precedent-setting lawsuit against the EU which the man intends to file tomorrow in Brussels.

In the lawsuit, which will be filed to the European Commission, petitioner Eyal Katorza cites Article 3.5 of the European Treaty, which states the Union will "contribute to the protection of its citizens" regardless of their whereabouts.

Cool, if a member of the European Union goes to Iran, drives out some locals and claims it is his or hers ancestral right then of couse the EU should pay, for his or her removal to an asylum for the insane.

Silly.

a) only if he can prove ancestral privilege.

b) we yielded up Gaza, removed communities and still got shot at.
