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 mean israel waits until suspects are home with their family to kill them instead of bombing them on the battlefield. Trying to maximize civilian casualties.
And systematically starves all Palestinians using hunger as a weapon or war.
Genocide denial is already over. Currently the Hasbara narrative is that Israels very high civilians casualties are necessary.
The linked article is unverifiable: the original “source” has provided no corroborating evidence to support their story (and they are quite clearly biased in all their reporting…), and a google search only returned results which eventually led back to the original “news” organization. Not going to put much stock in that story.
Israel is facilitating the entrance of approximately 1.2 pounds of food per person in Gaza at the moment, and has been since the early days of the war. If civilians in Gaza are starving, which I believe they are based on all available information, then the fault lies squarely with Hamas, who continues to steal virtually all aid that enters the Gaza Strip and use it to further their violent and genocidal agenda.
TL;DR: Link to unverifiable story with no sources, and a blood libel. Great stuff /s
And what’s about Israel destroying humanitarian aid with precision strikes? they even admitted it.
Or what about Israelian snipers targeting children?
Israel knows very well what they are doing and they don’t care.
Blood libel really is the new favorite Hasbara catchphrase of the day.
She wrote this report proving israel is committing Genocide. Maybe you missed it. Collective starvation of a population doesn’t leave room for interpretation.
