Multiple European states, including the UK and France, have recently threatened sanctions against specific Israeli ministers and Spain has even suggested an arms embargo against Israel.

I believe most of these nations see Israel as an extension of the US and have long considered the US to be the benevolent overlord of Europe. Are they now doubting the reliability or benevolence of their overlord because of how volatile Trump is? I think it's fair to say the genocide would've progressed in the exact same way if Harris was president but would Europe have reacted the same way?

I guess I'm just asking for people's opinions here because it's hard to know what goes on in the minds of the demons that run Europe.

And don't forget about the guilt pride!

guilt pride is just the PR - the superstructure - sold by the elite to justify their material interests. Its not the motivating factor.
