18 months of #genocide in #gaza and European Commission didn't announce not even a measure of sanctions against #IsraelTerroristState.
Fuck #EU 's #doublestandards.

These suckers of #EU sponsor a #genocide. They kept giving political and military cover for the zionist regime for 19 months of genocide. Or for more than 2 months now of total blockade of #Gaza.
19 months saying "Israel has the right to defend itself". For European leaders the colonizer has this right but the colonized not. The colonized needs to be under the genocidal intentions of the colonizer forever.
After all, what we have from the heads of EU? "They WANT TO review their trade relations" with an entity that commits genocide while they took immediate measures against Russia for the invasion of 2022. They haven't take ANY MEASURE against Israel who commits genocide for 19 months and 77 years.
There is no doubt. Current and previous EU leaders commit ethnic cleansing and genocide in Gaza.

A group of #EU officials has written to the leaders of the European institutions criticising the bloc for “little or no meaningful action” in response to the dire humanitarian crisis in #Gaza.
EU “inaction” has “contributed to the environment of unaccountability that resulted in the full-scale invasion of the Gaza Strip taking place at this moment”, continues the letter sent to the presidents of the European Commission, European Council and the #European parliament.
The letter was sent less than a week after the EU foreign policy chief, Kaja Kallas announced a review of the EU’s trade agreement with Israel, at the behest of a large majority of member states. The EU staff group welcomed this move, but said it was “devastatingly late for thousands killed in Gaza”.
EU Staff for Peace last year called for a suspension of the EU-#Israel agreement, an end to member states’ arms exports to Israel and “concrete efforts” to support the work of the international criminal court and international court of justice. The group has now accused the institutions they work for of an “apparent double standard” by failing to condemn European leaders who discussed hosting Benjamin Netanyahu, the Israeli prime minister wanted for alleged war crimes by the #ICC.

There are protests everywhere, including here in #Belgium. On Sunday (11 May), tens of thousands of Belgians took to the streets in #Brussels to demand an end to the blockade and the war on #Gaza.
A week later, on 18 May, a hundred thousand #Dutch people held a march through The Hague with the same demands.
Geert Wilders wrote on X: "Today demo in Dhaag against Israel + for Hamas. Thousands of confused people draw a red line. I also draw a red line. Against terror and starving their own people by Hamas and for maximum destruction of their murderous infrastructure. And for Israel."
So the rest of the world sees this differently.
...For about a week now, we have been reading increasing criticism of Israeli and US policy in #US newspapers. #France, the #UK and #Canada are suddenly threatening concrete action if Israel continues the blockade and war. Belgian rectors took the lead with the joint demand to suspend the #European Association Agreement with Israel.
Many will feel that all this does not go far enough. Indeed, that resolution can be criticised.
The decision by the European Foreign Affairs Council to first "investigate" whether or not Israel is in compliance with human rights before it wants to review the association agreement is also more than cynical.

A senior #EU official has been lobbying against sanctions on Israel, using claims of antisemitism and arguments that critics say cross the line from political advocacy into disinformation. But what does the leaked diplomatic cable reveal?
Von Schnurbein warned that reviewing the agreement could be based on “rumours about #Jews,” and claimed that humanitarian actions in #Gaza were being ignored by the media and the #UN. She also described charity bake sales for Gaza within EU institutions as creating an atmosphere of "ambient antisemitism."
Her remarks directly contradicted findings from the EU’s own foreign service, the UN Human Rights Office, and the International Court of Justice, bodies that have documented starvation, large-scale civilian deaths, and possible war crimes in Gaza.
By framing calls for sanctions as antisemitic, she didn’t just misrepresent policy, she attempted to delegitimise criticism altogether. That’s a dangerous move, especially when it risks silencing evidence of war crimes and civilian suffering.

New report. Not a lot to say. EU actively support the slaughter of Palestinians.
"Meanwhile, In a significant diplomatic step, the EU is set to deepen its cooperation with Israel, and nine southern neighbors, including Syria and Libya. Israeli Foreign Minister Gideon Sa'ar appeared unfazed when asked about reports the European Union is weighing up potential actions in response to allegations that Israel is breaching the EU-Israel Association Agreement, including suspending visa free travel and blocking imports from the Jewish settlements."

How European Ministers came from "review trade ties" to "keep a close watch on Israel’s compliance with a recent agreement to improve humanitarian aid access into Gaza."???
"Member states were presented with 10 options, including:
Full suspension of the agreement.
The EU suspension of its preferential trade and/or research pillars.
An arms embargo.
Sanctions on Israeli ministers.
Halting visa-free travel for Israeli citizens to the #EU.
Banning trade with Israeli #settlements.
However, none of the options gathered the necessary support during the meeting.
Reacting to the decision, Amnesty International’s secretary general Agnès Callamard said: “The EU’s refusal to suspend its agreement with #Israel is a cruel and unlawful betrayal of the European project and vision, predicated on upholding international law and fighting authoritarian practices, of the European Union’s own rules and of the human rights of Palestinians."

The #Palestinian Authority’s (PA) minister for foreign affairs, Varsen Aghabekian Shahin, described as “shocking and disappointing” the European Union’s refusal to act against Israel for violations in #Gaza and the #WestBank.

A week ago Kallas and the rest of European leaders gave #IsraelTerroristState the cover to continue #gazagenocide through #starvation, without decisions to stop trade connection (see above) and now she pretends she cares. After almost 2 years of genocide without ANY action...
#Germany and #Italy want to continue #GazaGenocide:
"#EU member states could not rally the support necessary to suspend Israel from the Horizon #Europe fund in response to the war in #Gaza. The proposal needed a qualified majority of member states to pass it. But two of the largest countries - #Germany and #Italy - said they need more time to examine it.
A European Commission proposal to deny #Israel partial access to the EU's €95 billion Horizon Europe research fund failed to garner the necessary qualified majority support when EU ambassadors met in #Brussels on Tuesday to discuss the issue.
If agreed, Israel would lose access to €200 millions' worth of future grants and investments in Horizon's European Investment Council (EIC) which specialises in so-called disruptive technologies.
...The Commission's motion to suspend Israel's participation in Horizon is in response to an EU report finding the country had breached #humanrights obligations in the EU-Israel Association Agreement.
After this finding the two sides came to an agreement that Israel would "substantially" increase access to civilians for food and medicine within the enclave to prevent the EU taking action for the breach.
However, the EU says there has been no material improvement for Palestinians.

#Eu is actual perpetrator of #gazagenocide.
"#Germany and #Italy prefer to continue #genocide and #IsraelApartheid".
Gathered online for their regular Mashreq/Maghreb Working Party and despite mounting pressure on Israel over the hunger crisis in #Gaza, the 27 EU diplomats still couldn’t reach any qualified majority on a European Commission proposal to cut #Israel from partial access to the EU's €95 billion Horizon Europe research fund.
“The situation has not changed,” one EU diplomat said, referring to a formal meeting of #EU ambassadors last week which also failed to agree to the Commission’s proposal. The diplomat said the issue was now in the hands of the EU’s foreign affairs ministers, who will meet informally on 29 August.
"The refusal of certain member states to take even this smallest possible step to pressure Israel, while civilians continue to be killed and starved in Gaza, is absolutely incriminating,” said Martin Konecny, who heads the European Middle East Project in Brussels.
@villebooks "Nevertheless, known EU military exports to Isr can be directly connected to the genocide in Gaza. Israeli’s Merkava tanks, operating in Gaza since the ground invasion began in late October, are using engine components manufactured by German company MTU (a subsidiary of Rolls Royce), while Sa’ar corvettes, warships built by German company ThyssenKrupp Marine Systems, have been active in the waters surrounding the besieged strip.
British company BAE Systems, in conjunction with German company Rheinmetall, manufactures M109 self-propelled howitzers which have been used to shell densely populated areas in Gaza. Amnesty International has found evidence that these artillery weapons also deployed white phosphorus munitions.
US-manufactured F-35 fighter jets used to carpet-bomb Gaza rely on European components with at least 25 percent of spare parts being exported directly to Israel from Europe.
Since October 7, the EU has granted 126 million euros ($136.5m) in funding to 130 research projects involving Israeli entities. Of these projects, two are providing a total of 640,000 euros ($693,000) to arms company Israel Aerospace Industries. In the years preceding October 7, 2023, Israeli entities received 503 million euros ($545m) under Horizon Europe (2021-2023)."
