“The European Union should realise that Israel […] should be treated fairly”
Absolutely, 100% agree. Israel should be treated fairly, with entirely in accordance and respect to international treaties, international law, without double standards and without prejudice. You do the crime, your do the time, nothing less nothing more.
Now, where were we, the ICJ has ruled the occupation illegal and the system imposed as apartheid, has imposed provisional measures and is considering a genocide case. Oh and the ICC has some arrest warrants pending.
Fair is fair motherfuckers.
How about we just make that blue bubble disappear then…
That would be hard on the American tax payer.
Throw them out of Eurovision!
And let’s get their products and services out of our countries.
The nuclear option
“If you respect a partner, you discuss and negotiate with a partner. You don’t pressure, you don’t threaten.” - Imagine an Israeli representative said this with a straight face. Unhinged. EU must cut all ties with Israel until the holocaust has stopped
for some years. They have way too much influence in the EU.
Europe: “And thank fucking Christ for that.”
In this case not being the US is quite a nice compliment.
In this case it is not…?
There is no “it is” in my statement above. Changes the meaning quite a bit.
What no. In any case you do not want to be compared to the US.
But if the argument is “the US matters, you dont”, then that is one of the few things where you would want to be more like the US
We are aware. Now stop agonising Palestinians.
They sure are liberal in pressuring European parties, so if by their words they don’t treat us as partners, why should we? Also fuck those murderers.

And rather pleased with that fact, thanks.

The good news is: It’s absolutely going to collapse; that’s what happens when your society is fascist (especially the kind of fascist you’re not supposed to compare Israel to according to the mods). The bad news is that Palestine might not exist by the time that happens.
Israel can shut the fuck up!

A senior Israeli diplomat has urged Europe to treat his country with “respect” and stop “meddling” in its politics if it wants to maintain good relations with Israel and play a role in shaping the Middle East peace process.
“The European Union should realise that Israel is a player and a partner, and should be treated fairly,” ambassador Yossi Amrani, political director at Israel’s foreign ministry, told Euractiv in an interview in Brussels. He chastised European politicians who, he said, believed they can “pressure” Israel with sanctions and other tactics.
“The EU is not the United States of America, and I’m not sure the United States, in dealing with Israel, is using the term ‘pressure,’” he said. “If you respect a partner, you discuss and negotiate with a partner. You don’t pressure, you don’t threaten.”

Euractiv is an independent pan-European media network specialised in EU affairs, established by its founder Christophe Leclercq in 1999. Its reporting is constructive yet critical, following EU policy processes from idea to implementation, as well as the most important news on the ground in Europe’s capitals, and beyond.
Euractiv has diversified sources of funding, as the company seeks private and public revenues to run its business. In 2019, about a fifth of Euractiv’s income came from public sources, including the EU.
In May 2023, Euractiv was acquired by Belgian media company Mediahuis in what became the company’s first international media platform acquisition.
Mediahuis (Dutch pronunciation: [ˈmeːdijaːˌɦœys]; lit. ‘Media House’) is a European multinational newspaper and magazine publishing, distribution, printing, television, radio and online media company founded in 2014 with assets in Belgium, the Netherlands, Ireland, Luxembourg and Germany.
Since January 2018, Christophe Leclercq is one of the experts on the High-Level Expert Group (HLEG) on disinformation. He leads the new projects #Media4EU and Stars4Media (Erasmus4Media). He also teaches notably at Institut d’Etudes Européennes/ULB (Brussels).
Previously, Mr. Leclercq was EU Commission official with DG Competition (coordinator for Information Society). Before that, he was a management consultant with McKinsey, founder of the EuroManagers job fair, and market research manager at Renault Deutschland.
Christophe Leclercq (born 24 February 1967) is a French politician from En Marche.
Renaissance (RE) is a political party in France that is typically described as liberal and centrist[28] or centre-right.[29] The party was originally known as En Marche ! (EM)[a][30] and later La République En Marche ! (transl. The Republic on the Move,[31][32][33] LREM, LaREM or REM), before adopting its current name in September 2022.[34] RE is the leading force of the centrist Ensemble coalition, coalesced around Emmanuel Macron’s original presidential majority.
