Sources in Israel disclosed the European Union has issued orders forbidding all 28 member states from cooperating, transferring funds, giving scholarships or research grants to organizations or individuals based in Judea and Samaria, eastern Jerusalem, and even the Golan Heights. The instructions are for the years 2014 – 2020 and will go into force on Friday, July 18. The decision also states that any future agreement signed with Israel must include a section that says the “settlements” are not part of sovereign Israel and therefore not included in the agreement. The Prime Minister’s Office made it clear the territorial clause is likely to be a great stumbling block in Israel-EU relations. (Ha'aretz/INN)

Might it be reasonable to conclude - according to scripture – that this latest attempt on the part of the EU to cripple Israel is likely to backfire on European nations in an unpleasant way?
