It's amazing how all of a sudden and pretty much all that the same time, politicians in various European countries are really hard harping about doing a very specific "action" which is about the most innefectual thing imaginable, trying to distract us from the fact they're not actually punishing the nation of Israel for doing the Genocide, which by the way sits in contrast with the reaction against Russia who, by the way, have killed far, FAR fewer civilians than Israel and unlike Israel don't seem to be targetting children.

Even the fucking French president was going at this. You know, the same guy that a couple of months ago refused to detain the guy who has an outstanding ICC arrest warrant for Genocide - Benjamin Netanyahu - when he flew through French Airspace even though as a signatary of the international Treaty that made the ICC, France is supposedly obligated to do so.

Ask yourself why, still now, there are no actual SANCTIONS against Israel, when the response to Russia's invasion of Ukraine showed us that doing such thing is perfectly possible (and it would be easier for Israel as they don't produce anything that Europe can't easilly get elsewhere, unlike with Russia were several European countries were heavilly dependent on their Gas) as long as there is a will to do so.

This bullshit is just the continuation of the delaying tactics of the rotten politicians we have in Europe as they keep on obbeying their Tel-Aviv and Washington masters against the will of European Public Opinion - one wonders just how much kompromat the US and Israel have on European politicians given what we know about the scope of Epstein's operations and how much Israel specializes on smartphone hacking.

    I mean the Russian invasion and occupation involves crimes against humanity of their own. Granted I don't recall the crime of Genocide alleged but given the civilian deaths and the literal kidnapping of children not a stretch.

    Israel killed more children in the first 3 months of their attack on Gaza than Russia killed civilians in their entire invasion of Ukraine even though Russia did things like the Bucha massacre and the Mariupol Theatre massacre.

    Russia is like Mussolini's Italy or Franco's Spain, whilst Israel is like NAZI Germany.

    If the reaction was in any way proprotionate, to match the deserved Sanctions on Russia, European nations would've already done to Israel what was done to Servia when they started attacking the other nations which formed after the break-up of Jugoslavia.

    This shit by European politicians is just more of the same delaying tactics they've been deploying for at least a year: loudly talking about the most innefective "actions" imaginable to avoid actually doing what the European Public Opinion demands which is punish Israel for what they're doing (i.e. Sanctions).

    I bet Israel and the US have lots of Kompromat on lots of top European politicians - after all, Epstein's operation had a far broader scope than just the US and Israel specializes on smartphone hacking.

    Given we are talking literal war crimes it doesn't matter who killed more.

    On the fourth paragraph that is what the article is saying the EU is putting together. Literal sanctions on the settlements of the west bank
