Idiot on the loose alert!
Ha'aretz reports Gerda Duisenberg visits E. J'lem, says Israel committing terror:

Gerda Duisenberg, the wife of European Central Bank President Wim Duisenberg, said during a visit Sunday to East Jerualem that Prime Minister Ariel Sharon was provoking the Palestinians and that his government was guilty of committing terror attacks.

Duisenberg made the comments just three hours before two Palestinian suicide bombers blew themselves up in south Tel Aviv, killing 22 people.

Open mouth, insert boot.

Every time there is a break in the violence, Sharon creates a provocation, she said.

One can't help but wonder what sort of cachet Gerda has besides marrying Wim.

In April, Duisenberg caused a storm in Holland when she draped a PLO flag from the balcony of her Amsterdam home and founded a group calling on Israel to withdraw from the territories. In November, she cancelled a planned trip to the territories, under pressure from the Israeli Foreign Ministry, which said that it considered her persona non grata.

Prior to the cancelled November trip Duisenberg said that she would meet with Israelis, but she has reversed that decision with regard to the present visit, and has even refused to stay in an Israeli hotel. She said Israelis could come to Holland to meet her.

I get it. She left a job in the Dutch space program to marry a banker and become Queen. Sad.
