The Euro-peons have suspended a seminar to discuss anti-Semitism in Europe because two Jewish leaders accused Brussels of being "politically motivated" in withholding a report on violence against Jews.
This seminar cannot go ahead unless there is a visible change in attitude by these two organisations.
Can you imagine if any political leader in this country calling off a discussion about race relations because, for example, an African-American group made charges of racism? In this topsy-turvy-PC world, it's acceptable (at least in Europe) to be less 'sensitive' to certain groups than others.
