EU as super-Yalta conference?

EU decides that 80,000 city between Jerusalem and Tel Aviv is NOT in Israel

EU considers itself competent to decide which territory is or is not within given country's borders. If a country is attacked and wins defensive war usually it leads to changes in borders (with the exception of Israel that should always give away any gains from defensive wars). Ridiculous specially as even EU admits it was no Arab land and Modiin is between Tel-Aviv and Jerusalem.

Let us just remind that in 1948, a day after its Independance Declaration Israel has been attacked by 7 Arab armies with the intention - widely advertised - of driving her to the sea. Miracoulously and with great casualties she won but nowadays she is treated as if she were aggressor (in the middle of this war, when Arabs were declaring that no Jew will be left Israel offered full citizenship and rights to all remaining Arab population - they have never been treated any different than Jewish citizens under the law; seems obvious but when one thinks it was in the middle of cruel war it changes perspectives, just think that by the end of IIWW there were plans to permanently dismantle Germany).

Anyway, if EU is such an expert in somebody else's borders changed in war maybe it could try with her own members borders for starters?
Let me remind you that during Tehran conference in 1943 Churchill offered Stalin 90% influence in Romania and Bulgaria and 50% in Yugoslavia in exchange for 90% Western influence in Greece - and it all on paper. I don't need to say that nobody from Romanian, Bulgarian, Yugoslavian or Greek authorities was present.
Same went for few other countries - division completed.

The fate of Polish borders (one of the main allies with government in exile stationed in London and army involved in fighting Nazizm bigger than De Gaulle's French one) was also decided on this conference without notifying anybody from Polish authorities. Its eastern border was to be on so called "Curzon line" (cutting quite a lot of territory).
In itself it was anything but a friendly act by supposedly ally forces (nobody believed ever Soviets to be close to allies, British were believed but without any reason as was proved). But there remains one small fact - Curzon line written down in Tehran and never changed in Yalta or Potsdam includes in Polish territory Eastern Prussia with the city of Kaliningrad (before war: Krolewiec). Stalin wanted it and has taken it - till this day it is a small piece of Russia between Polish and Lithuanian borders. Maybe EU, so concerned about borders decided in 40s by somebody else than parties involved would start with returning this piece of Poland (according to Churchill-Stalin agreement) to Poland? VAT from the region would go to EU, EU territory would gain, treaties from 40s would have been executed?
Don't you think it is better way to start than taking Modiin from Israel?

All facts above are correct. All my comments are deeply sarcastic in case you'd have doubts :)
