The European Union should suspend its trade and institutional ties with Israel to deter war crimes that amount to genocide in the Gaza Strip, the UN’s special rapporteur on Palestine has said.
“Europe is the main trading partner - which accounts I think for 30% of Israel’s trade - so it has a huge power and it should use that power. In the end, this is not an option, it’s an obligation because Article 2 of that association agreement foresees the suspension in case of violations of human rights,” she added.
Albanese said the EU’s reluctance to use the measures in its power to hold Israel to account perpetuates Israel’s impunity and reveals a “disconnect” between Europe’s political class and the large portion of European society that has persistently called for a ceasefire in the besieged Gaza Strip.
She also said EU leaders need to take more concrete counter-measures against Israel, including revoking diplomatic recognition and targeted sanctions on government officials.
You’re an awful fucking human being. Yes all those children left behind are “fair game” if Egypt opens the border. But they won’t open the border, so they shouldn’t be fair game right? Because there’s still people there. You want to act like because Egypt doesn’t want them that makes them all fucking worthy to die
You’re an awful fucking human being.
Now stating facts made me an awful human… nice. Or maybe the fact that I belive that a person (or a population) should be held responsible for their choices… what an awful thing to say in these times…
Yes all those children left behind are “fair game” if Egypt opens the border.
The question is: why the children should left behind if Egypt opens the border ? Are their parents so awful to left their children behind as they are fleeing ? Why a mother should left her children behind when she has an oppotunity to save herself and her children ?
But they won’t open the border, so they shouldn’t be fair game right? Because there’s still people there.
No, they are not fair game, as every civilian is not fair game, in a war. I only noted that there is a possible solution to minimize the civilian deaths that could be implemented without Israel’s intervention. Why EU don’t pursue this option ?
But the problem here is that you people think that it is ok for Hamas to explicity target civilians while is wrong when Israel kill a civilian as a collateral damage. A collateral damage that is what Hamas wants as they openly stated. Read something about Mosab Hassan Yousef if you don’t belive me.
You want to act like because Egypt doesn’t want them that makes them all fucking worthy to die
No, they are not worth to die but in the end the only option for them to be safe is to collaborate with Israel in eradicating Hamas and become an affidable interlocutor for peace talks.
I could understand why Israel has some qualms to make an accord with someone that has in its charter the objective to destroy them.
Now stating facts made me an awful human… nice.
You didn‘t just „state facts“. You stated facts and then advocated for ethnic cleansing.
Or maybe the fact that I belive that a person (or a population) should be held responsible for their choices
Its astounding to see, how fast Israel-supporters go from „its awful that these innocent people are dying because of Hamas“ to „all Palestinians are one evil entity seeking nothing but to bath in the blood of raped women“ in one comment if it fits the narrative they are trying to push.
what an awful thing to say in these times…
Yes. Saying millions of people should be murdered, because of the actions of a few tenthousands is a awful thing to say. It was awful in the past and luckily still is awful today.
The question is: why the children should left behind if Egypt opens the border ? Are their parents so awful to left their children behind as they are fleeing ?
Separation in the chaos, child could be injured, child is too weak to walk and mother to starved to take it with her. There are plenty of reasons, why a mother and a child can be separated in a warzone. That you refuse to acknowledge these factors doesn‘t speak for your empathie.
No, they are not fair game, as every civilian is not fair game, in a war.
I am glad, that you acknowledge this.
I only noted that there is a possible solution to minimize the civilian deaths that could be implemented without Israel’s intervention.
Could be a solution to save lifes if we manage to feed all those people and provide medical help, yes. But it also blames a neutral third party instead of the party, that causes the suffering by blocking aid and bombing areas, they declared to be safe for civilians.
Why EU don’t pursue this option ?
Because Egypt already has taken in a lot of Palestinians and demanding they take even more wouldn‘t be smart on a diplomatic level.
But the problem here is that you people think that it is ok for Hamas to explicity target civilians
Literally nobody here, besides you, thinks its okay to target civilians.
while is wrong when Israel kill a civilian as a collateral damage.
So you are trying to tell me, that Israel didn‘t kill a single civilian intentionally?
collateral damage that is what Hamas wants as they openly stated. Read something about Mosab Hassan Yousef if you don’t belive me.
Its pretty dumb of Israel to fulfill the wish of Hamas, don‘t you think? Again: Nobody here is defending Hamas. You are the only one arguing in favor of killing civilians.
No, they are not worth to die but in the end the only option for them to be safe is to collaborate with Israel in eradicating Hamas and become an affidable interlocutor for peace talks.
And how is this supposed to happen, if Israel doesn‘t even recognize Palestine? Do you expect the Palestinians to sign a petition asking nicely to not murder them?
I could understand why Israel has some qualms to make an accord with someone that has in its charter the objective to destroy them.
I could understand why Palestinians may have some qualms to make an accord with someone that is murdering them.
And again: Palestinians =/= Hamas, Legitimate Representation of Palestinians =/= Hamas, starving Child in Gaza =/= Hamas
Now stating facts made me an awful human… nice.
You didn‘t just „state facts“. You stated facts and then advocated for ethnic cleansing.
What IDF is doing is not remotely a ethnic cleansing or a genocide, that’s a genocide. So maybe we could start to call the things with their name.
what an awful thing to say in these times…
Yes. Saying millions of people should be murdered, because of the actions of a few tenthousands is a awful thing to say. It was awful in the past and luckily still is awful today.
The “few ten thousands” were elected from the millions of people. Is it awful that this happen ? Of course. Is it unexpected ? No.
I only noted that there is a possible solution to minimize the civilian deaths that could be implemented without Israel’s intervention.
Could be a solution to save lifes if we manage to feed all those people and provide medical help, yes. But it also blames a neutral third party instead of the party, that causes the suffering by blocking aid and bombing areas, they declared to be safe for civilians.
Israel has no way to block aids coming through Egypt.
Why EU don’t pursue this option ?
Because Egypt already has taken in a lot of Palestinians and demanding they take even more wouldn‘t be smart on a diplomatic level.
As far as I know, the border between Egypt and Gaza is closed.
But the problem here is that you people think that it is ok for Hamas to explicity target civilians
Literally nobody here, besides you, thinks its okay to target civilians.
Well, I have not yet read anything that condemn what Hamas did on October the 7th
while is wrong when Israel kill a civilian as a collateral damage.
So you are trying to tell me, that Israel didn‘t kill a single civilian intentionally?
Yes, they are not killing them intentionally, they are collateral damages (awful but sad reality). If the IDF was trying to intentionally kill civilians, let’s say that from a military point of view they are a joke.
collateral damage that is what Hamas wants as they openly stated. Read something about Mosab Hassan Yousef if you don’t belive me.
Its pretty dumb of Israel to fulfill the wish of Hamas, don‘t you think?
Maybe, but it is also pretty dumb to not fulfill the with of Hamas and let them kill Israel civilian unpunished.
Again: Nobody here is defending Hamas. You are the only one arguing in favor of killing civilians.
I am the one arguing that if the civilian make a choice then they pay the price.
No, they are not worth to die but in the end the only option for them to be safe is to collaborate with Israel in eradicating Hamas and become an affidable interlocutor for peace talks.
And how is this supposed to happen, if Israel doesn‘t even recognize Palestine?
Well maybe, just maybe, if they try to be a good neighbor, Israel could begin to consider it. Obviously it is not something that could happen in a day, but it is something that can happen only if both side collaborate.
Do you expect the Palestinians to sign a petition asking nicely to not murder them?
No, I expect that the civilians do not vote for Hamas and help IDF to find the fighters to eradicate only Hamas fighters.
I could understand why Israel has some qualms to make an accord with someone that has in its charter the objective to destroy them.
I could understand why Palestinians may have some qualms to make an accord with someone that is murdering them.
I am not aware that the Israel constitution has the extermination of Gaza in it, but it is true the opposite.
And again: Palestinians =/= Hamas, Legitimate Representation of Palestinians =/= Hamas, starving Child in Gaza =/= Hamas
Partially. Palestinian elected Hamas, so as far as I am concerned Hamas is the Legitimate Representation of Palestinians. All the rest is a consequence
