I am European and not pro Israel in the slightest, 100% NO! Why would anyone be pro theft, murder and injustice?

Some are, but in the UK and Western Europe there is an increasingly willingness to criticise the policies of the Israeli govt, especially regarding the treatment of Palestinians. A substantial population of Palestinian refugees las led to this movement becoming more vocal. The vast majority of Palestianian supporters, however, would not say that they are not 'pro-Israel'. That said, there is no strong 'pro-Israel lobby' active in European politics in the way that there is in the US. While anti-Semitism is growing in parts of Europe (especially Rumsfeld's 'new Europe'), it is reviled by mainstream European politicians.

Europeans are more independent difficult to be influenced by charlatanism , hence their disbelief of the widely spread lie about Israel's biblical reason to exist, overlooking its oppression and aggression of native Palestinians and its unlawful occupation of neighboring countries lands.
there is no European AIPAC to buy and bribe officials to support zionist Israel.
Here in the US Israel have an incredible influence over The President as well Congress perusing Israel's agenda over the US interests in the Mideast.

Not at all!
They can't be bought like the US Congress and Senate.
You actually see the other side of the equation over here.

I think half of Europe is dealing with a lot of guilt from the holocaust. I think there still trying to appease their feelings of shame.

Unfortunately, most seem hostile. The reasons include vestigal religious based anti Semetism (despite the fact that most Europeans are highly secular) & the growing Islamic influence.

Doesn't seem like it. Hope I am wrong.
