The proposal would suspend the central plank of a decades-old free trade deal that removed tariffs on imports of goods between Europe and Israel.

However, suspension of the agreement requires the backing of a weighted majority of EU capitals, meaning Germany or Italy would first need to lift their opposition to the 27-state union sanctioning Israel.

And that’s only because they are defended by the US.

Orherwise, there should be a wide coalition of countries cooperating in a military intervention inside Israel to stop the genocide.

Trump shifting the US stand on Ukraine didn’t stop Europe to continue supporting Ukrainian right to self defense. Sorry but this is just an excuse

At this rate, only a few hundred thousand more Palestinian civilians will have to die for us to have a concept of a plan, for potentially having a meeting about doing something to talk about the possibility of sending a sternly worded letter to end the genocide.

Member when Russia’s invasion was called a genocide and the EU sanctioned Russia/Russians for it. Now we have a de facto UN report calling what the zionists are doing in Gaza a genocide and the EU just does jack shit. I guess all the people in Gaza should have spent more time in Hamas tunnels, their skin is not white enough to deserve human rights…
