Whose Side Are You On? (No. 143)
The other day I posted this about the continuing denial by the Europeans of the threat posed by Islamofascism.
Now Shrinkwrapped notes a new example of what long-term irrelevancy can do to the reasoning ability of an entire country:
Europe objects to El Al's anti-missile shieldEl Al passenger planes will be barred from landing in some European countries because they have been equipped with defense systems against shoulder-held missiles, German newspaper Der Spiegel reported. [...]
"If we catch Israeli planes fitted with this system in our airports, they will be grounded," a spokesman for the Swiss aviation authority told Der Spiegel.
As Shrinkwrapped observes, El Al has already been subject to an attempted shoot down of one of their planes by a shoulder-fired missile. Yet the Swiss continue the fine European tradition of ignoring the evil that is staring them in the face. And El Al continues its record as one of the most secure airlines in the world, in spite of the hysterical hatred directed against it and its parent country.
Ugly, indeed.
