Signs of hope in Europe?

At least SOME of the rhetoric is changing. An EU official has categorically refused to call Israel's response to the neverending barrage of rockets from the Gaza Strip a war crime, and has added that the EU has for too long been one-sided in its condemnations of Israel and absolution of the Palestinians: http://www.ynetnews.com/articles/0,7340,L-3497543,00.html, and a Dutch official has expressed a similar sentiment: http://www.haaretz.com/hasen/spages/947090.html.

While Europe is still a cesspool of anti-Israeli sentiment, that these statements were even published (though not in any Western newspaper, mind you) presents at least a glimmer of hope...........
