UNBELIEVABLE: The European Court of Justice’s advocate-general recommends that the court uphold the lower court’s ruling, and remove Hamas from being listed as a terror group.
– Will the EU ignore #PalestinianDeathCulture?

By YONAH JEREMY BOB

 

The European Court of Justice is due to decide on Wednesday whether to keep Hamas listed as a terror organization.
