NEW EUROPE VS. OLD EUROPE: Scoop: EU statement opposing U.S. embassy move is blocked. “Hungary, the Czech Republic and Romania, in coordination with Israel, today blocked a joint EU statement criticizing the relocation of the U.S. embassy to Jerusalem, Israeli officials and European diplomats told me.”

Two thoughts: (1) Weird, people keep telling me Hungary is anti-semitic now; and (2) Unlike France & Germany, they’re not making a bundle — and having their politicians outright bribed — from Iran.
