The lion wants meat

Caroline Glick’s July 13 column (“A glimpse of Europe’s true face,” Column One) couldn’t be more accurate.

Europe is weak, afraid and appeasing. It operates on the throw-the-meat principle: To stop a hungry lion, don’t use a firearm; throw a large piece of meat, so he will be satisfied and not eat you.

European appeasement is as operative today as during the rise of Nazi Germany.

For years, following World War I, Germany, in violation of the peace treaty, rearmed, expanded its territory and influence, and showed the aggressive domestic and foreign policy of a ruthless dictator and his party.

Instead of acting to frustrate German design, the Europeans did not threaten military action, refusing to adequately rearm. Instead, it threw the lion meat, the Rhineland and Czechoslovakia.

Europe, now, tells the world not to expect it to support the US and stand up to Iran’s plan for regional hegemony, nuclear armament, destruction of Israel, worldwide spread of Shia Islam and the ability to destroy European cities.

That would ruin its chance to make money. Appeasement is good for business. We are witnessing, a weak, greedy, dishonest, hateful Europe, infected with an overwhelming and debilitating pacifist ideology, which, in the end, will cause its own destruction.
