(COMMENT)The only double standard is that the EU allows imports from occupied Palestine and asks for them to be labeled as such, while the EU completely bans any trade with occupied Crimea.
"EU imposes a ban on imports of Crimean goods"
Wikipedia said:A protectorate, in its inception adopted by modern international law, is a dependent territory that has been granted local autonomy and some independence while still retaining the suzerainty of a greater sovereign state. In exchange for this, the protectorate usually accepts specified obligations, which may vary greatly, depending on the real nature of their relationship. Therefore, a protectorate remains an autonomous part of a sovereign state. They are different from colonies as they have local rulers and people ruling over the territory and experience rare cases of immigration of settlers from the country it has suzerainty of. However, a state which remains under the protection of another state but still retains independence is known as a protected state and is different from protectorates.
Israel has never had any intention to relinquish the West Bank, much less the settlements. I don't see this as changing anything. The two-state solution has not been an option for a long time.
The Hamas Charter and Arab intransigence precludes a two state solution.Israel has never had any intention to relinquish the West Bank, much less the settlements. I don't see this as changing anything. The two-state solution has not been an option for a long time.

The Double standard,
I think there are a couple of elements to consider in connection with European anti-Semitism and a double standard of behavior.
Firstly, WW2 was not so long ago to have removed the memories and damage done to Jews by Hitler, Mussolini and Al-Husseini.
Secondly, with the affects of islamism being felt across Europe, there is now a wellspring of anti-Semitism that rises from the muhammedan element. Jews and Israel are constantly reviled in islamic media and culture, as is the United States. America the Great Satan, while Israel is the Little Satan. The anti-Semitism, institutionalized misogyny and suppression of free speech, and virulent, xenophobic hatred is mind-boggling in this day and age, when in my country we worry about offending people who have come here illegally. Salman Rushdie and others have had holy contracts out on their lives for writing books and novels which the muhammedans consider to be blasphemous. Anti-Semitic and anti-American television programming are de rigueur in the Islamic world where, basically, hatred and murder in God's name are righteous and just, because that's what God wants—he told Muhammad (swish) as much. The koran verifies this. Because it comes from God, according to muhammud (swish).

I have to chat with other Mods to somehow WARN folks when this happens. So they don't think their going crazy and can't remember creating that thread.

Just as a side note (and apologies to Daniyel) - when I moved the post into a thread I included a note that should have gone to Daniyel explaining - the move (part of the options in that module) - but I guess he didn't get it?
