“European Court Orders Hamas’ Removal from Terror List,” IPT News, December 17, 2014:

Hamas must be taken off the European Union’s terrorist list, a court ordered Wednesday, finding that it was not based on direct evidence of Hamas action.

EU officials downplayed the ruling, with a statement from the EU External Action Service saying it “is clearly based on procedural grounds and it does not imply an assessment by the Court of the substantive reasons for the designation of Hamas as a terrorist organization.”

EU institutions were examining the ruling and “will decide on the options open to them,” the statement said. “They will, in due course, take appropriate remedial action, including any eventual appeal to the ruling. In case of an appeal the restrictive measures remain in place.”

The General Court of the European Union, the EU’s second highest court, said that the freeze on Hamas’ assets will stay in place for three months to allow time for further review or to appeal the decision. The Quartet, which includes the EU, prohibits any engagement with Hamas until renounces terrorism, recognizes Israel, and accepts prior Israeli-Palestinian agreements.

Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu issued a statement rejecting the EU’s rationale and demanded immediate action to correct the problem:

“We are not satisfied with the European Union’s explanation that the removal of Hamas from its list of terrorist organizations is a ‘technical matter’. The burden of proof is on the European Union and we expect it to put Hamas back on the list forthwith given that it is understood by all that Hamas – a murderous terrorist organization, the covenant of which specifies the destruction of Israel as its goal – is an inseparable part of this list. We will continue to fight Hamas with strength and determination so that it never achieves this goal.”

Hamas is recognized as terrorist organization by the United States, Canada, and other Western nations. It continues to plot attacks targeting Israeli civilians….

    What I said in a different place, I will post here.
    There is a price for it, these people, the EU, will pay a heavy price on it. You will witness, Europe will suffer the same problems Israel is facing, and then will re-access the situation, hope it is not too late for it.
    Thanks for the links Robert, will save them.

      Methinks the EU (yeeeoou!) must be DESTROYED first. Then previously FREE countries like the UK can deport criminals, without EU interference.

    As it is obvious that islam no matter what happens can do no wrong,
    and that islam is the religion of peace despite all the violence it creates and all the violence in the quran and hadith and 300mio being killed by islam,
    it is a logical decision to legalise Hama as hamas is 100% peacefull islam.

    This chronically innocent religion is always right.

    The whole European Union project is rotten to the core. It began as an ecnomic union to prevnt further wars between France and Germany and they went on via treaties who try to bring about a United States ofieEurope, governed by unelected bureaucrats based in Brussels. Wherever there has been an election of this they have lost. It is undemocratic and shouljd be scraped and they could return to the original idea of economic cooperation and goodneighborliness between the sovereign European nations. They way it and is going, mos tof the laws are imposed on the people by unelected highly paid bureaucrats. The chief of them at present is named Junkers and he is from tiny Luxemburg. He wields huge power and has not been elected by anyone.

      Yes, please, shut down the EU. This organisation is unnecessary and the money and powers it has are far too over arching. This mass immigration thing, is really a big problem.

    I can predict the following, that for now, Europeans and other peoples watch jihadis from a distance, they have one Anjem choudray here or there, but in a few years this will intensify a lot, and then, when they have personal contact with the ugly face of Islam they will wake up big time, and it is a matter of time, because this will not change, it will only get worse and worse.
    As Raymond Ibrahim has pointed out, it is the number maths, as the Islamic population grows they will be more bolder, and shit will happen big time, it is happening right now.

      “As Raymond Ibrahim has pointed out, it is the number maths, as the Islamic population grows they will be more bolder”
      and grow the Islamic population will. Muslimas are being paid by the British Government, to breed like cockroaches and breed they will.
      Britain cheerfully continues on its merry way of SUICIDE BY MUSLIMA VIGINA.

    Look at the EU Commissioner’s explanation of why Hamas is no longer considered a terrorist organisation, while ISIS is:

    If the US had an ounce of common sense… it would remove the visa exemption status for any EU citizen which actually removes Hamas from their list of terrorist organizations. If the US can’t rely on the fact that EU citizens could be Hamas members and that doesn’t cause a criminal record… then treat those countries like any other country which the US can’t trust criminal records sharing … require visas and background checks to visit the US.

    Let any EU countries counter if they wish. Visiting Europe is not something most Americans need to do. I can just imagine some politician standing up and saying… everyone now needs a visa to visit the US and all Americans need visas to visit us, business and tourism will suffer, etc. because… we aren’t willing to declare Hamas as a terrorist organization. My bet is a number of EU countries would just ignore the EU court if pushed on it.

    Hamas is a peaceful organisation according EU Court for the following reasons:

    (Hamas refers to itself as the Islamic Resistance Movement”

    According to Hamas:

    “the Islamic Resistance Movement aspires to the realisation of Allah’s promise, no matter how long that should take. The Prophet, Allah bless him and grant him salvation, has said:

    “The Day of Judgement will not come about until Moslems fight the Jews (killing the Jews), when the Jew will hide behind stones and trees. The stones and trees will say O Moslems, O Abdulla, there is a Jew behind me, come and kill him. Only the Gharkad tree, (evidently a certain kind of tree) would not do that because it is one of the trees of the Jews.” (related by al-Bukhari and Moslem).”

    (From Article Seven of the “Hamas Covenant” see:http://avalon.law.yale.edu/20th_century/hamas.asp )

    This of course is perfectly in line with fairly recent European traditions, as advocated by the National Socialist Party.

    Thus Hamas is not a terrorist organisation.

    Its very simple, the EU, being run by anti-semetic jizz bags, sees terror organizations as those who try to harm people and obviously Jews are not people.

    the Islamic Resistance Movement aspires to the realisation of Allah’s promise, no matter how long that should take.

    And that is the root of the problem…Religious hallucinations…There is no Allah to promise anything. Anyone who believes Allah is god has a few screws loose, and should not be put in charge of a house plant. The gospel according to Gabriel, is a bad joke.

    I will fight this evil EU with every means at my disposal. I have no other interest in life than destroying evil Islam. I refuse the notion that I, my loved ones and community should have to submit to totalitarianism, terrorism or have to emigrate. I love Europe and I love freedom. I love Jews, Christians, Pagans, Hindus, Sikhs and Bahais. I reject Islam with every bone in my body.

    There is no such god as allah. Mohammed is a paedophile, a psycopath and a mass-murderer.

      ” I reject Islam with every bone in my body.”
      That makes at least 2 of us. Islam is a virulent cancer that can’t be reasoned with, negotiated with or compromised with. Like cancer, Islam has ONLY one objective—– to kill everything it infests and like cancer there is only one cure for the disease of Islam.

    A few years ago in the US ‘Supreme Born Allah’, was arrested for cocaine possession. A few months ago, ‘Understanding Allah’ was a defendant on People Court on TV. ‘Understanding Allah’ lost his case…He always does.

    Don’t get me wrong, I have no problem seeing infidels killed

    Of course not, That’s what Mahound said, and so did the Taliban when they were killing all those infidel children and pregnant women…Boko Haram chants it while murdering Christians. Those filthy infidels don’t deserve to live…do they Abu?

    This is very encouraging for the butchers of HAMAS . Now The European Community really can be proud of itself ( sarc.) , and is as guilty as HAMAS for it’s reign of terror . This defacto recognizing of HAMAS is CRIMINAL .

    Politicians lie.
    This may not be a perfect analogy but in the early 60’s German politicians promised that their plan to invite Muslim Turks into Germany was merely as temporary two year rotational work force that was to return to Turkey after two years. Shortly after the two years expired the German government reneged on their promise and now Germany is infested with millions of Muslims.

      Dec 18, 2014 at 11:57 am

      I have no sympathy for Germany. Poetic justice. They killed their Jews so they can have a pure Aryan nation. Lets see how pure and how Aryan are they now with millions of muslims in their midst.

  18. Lioness says

    Dec 18, 2014 at 11:49 am

    This is legitimizing Hamas and paving the way to label Israel as a terror group, something that the EU has been itching to do for a long time. The European court is a corrupt organization, completely infiltrated by Islam and its leftist useful idiots. The next thing on the agenda is to remove the Taliban from the terror list. So what if they just murdered 140 children!
