This is certainly a positive thing. At least some Europeans are talking about the right stuff...
Haaretz - EU justice commissioner to push law against anti-Semitism
"Europe can, with unity, approve a common European rule which will ... oblige all countries to adopt a law," Frattini said.
Europe is already trying an EU-wide approach to tackling such problems as international terrorism, for example, pushing for all states to accept European-wide arrest warrants for that crime...
But I have one question. Do you really want questions of whether something or someone is anti-Semitic being adjudicated in European courts of law? If they say, 'yes,' will that make it so? If they say, 'no,' what about then? And what will you be able to do about it after they render a final judgement you know is wrong?
The question of anti-Semitism is something people have to work out for themselves among themselves.
A law and a court? Nein danke.
