In a televised interview on Tuesday, Macron accused Netanyahu’s government of “unacceptable” and “shameful” behaviour over its aid blockade on Gaza, which has been in force since March 2.

“What the government of Benjamin Netanyahu is doing is unacceptable … There is no water, no medicine, the wounded cannot get out, the doctors cannot get in. What he is doing is shameful,” Macron told TF1 television Tuesday

    Getting “slammed” by Bibi the Butcher means you’re on the right side of history and morality

    Isn’t this guy a war criminal? Maybe he should “slam” himself out a glass window

    Wonder what changed.

    A month ago nobody would openly say this. Now the media is calling it out. Heads of state. Etc.

        Israel is a US ally. The US kinda helped brush a lot of stuff under the rug, either pressuring companies or our other allies to help. Now we have fucked over most of our allies, they might not be so willing to continue. It’s been infuriating to watch, but thankfully it might drag our name a little more through the mud, which we do deserve.

      The US is by far the biggest supporter of Israel. A lot of countries are nice to Israel just to please the US. Trump made that almost useless. Even Germany is not willing to just send all sorts of weapons to Israel anymore, but just some parts. The other large European countries are even less supportive then that, besides maybe the UK. Quite simply without US support Israel has to end the war.

      The other part is Israel breaking the ceasefire agreement with Hamaz and continued local opposition. Israel has lost a lot of good will around the world and that very much includes Europe. It is just that most Europeans do not care that much about Israel to really push their governments to do something and to be fair, they can not do too much anyway.

      For France i think it is ever increasing pressure on domestic issues. Macron also allowed Netanyahu to travel through French airspace to visit the US not to long ago. So Macron on the one hand uses foreign policy to distract from his domestic issues and on the other hand French Muslims and Leftists are very pissed at France lack of action so far.

      As Melchior pointed out there is the whole disenfranchisement from the US and then there is also Israels ambigious relationship with Russia, wanting Russia to maintain its military hold in Syria to prevent a Turkish military presence from establishing among other things.

      It’s simple. The genocide is almost complete, so now, after the thing is done, we can start complaining and asking for justice. It really doesn’t matter, whether anyone goes to jail or not. It’s done, all that was needed from the point of view of all these psychopaths. They will be known for History and claimed as heroes for many.
