It is interesting to note that Hungary, Croatia, Latvia,
Romania and the Czech Republic abstained. How come? Why did only these Eastern
European countries abstain from voting against US President Donald Trump for
having the courage to say that two plus two equals four by recognizing that
Jerusalem is the capital of Israel and stopping the appeasement of Islam?
Douglas Murray, in his book The Strange Death of Europe, explains why Eastern Europe is different, by quoting Chantal Delsol: “‘I later became convinced that it was in these Eastern European societies that I should seek some answers to our questions... the divergences between us and them led me to the belief that the last 50 years of good fortune had entirely erased our sense of the tragic dimension of life.’ That tragic dimension of life,” writes Murray, “had not been erased in the East. And nowhere have the consequences of this been more clearly displayed than in the attitudes of Eastern Europe’s leaders, with the support of their publics, to the migration crisis.” Now this divergence has been confirmed in the UN General Assembly vote.

Too bad the Letters Editor never received my second letter which
added Poland to the list and qualified the list to countries as members of the
EU. Apparently, Bosnia-Hercegovina which is not a member of the EU also
abstained. It abstained because there was no consensus between the Muslim Bosniak,
Orthodox Serb and Catholic Croat population.
This was the corrected first paragraph of the second letter which the Jerusalem Post never apparently got.
It is interesting to note that among
the EU, Croatia, the Czech Republic, Hungary, Latvia, Poland and Romania abstained. How
come? Why did only these Eastern European EU
member countries abstain from
voting against president Trump for having the courage to say that two plus two
make four by recognizing that Jerusalem was the capital of Israel and stopping
the appeasement of Islam?
