The EU must come up with a more assertive response to the humanitarian catastrophe in Gaza and the violations of international law, the bloc’s former chief diplomat has said.
In a strongly worded article, Josep Borrell said the EU had a “duty” to intervene and must come up with its own concerted plan to end the war instead of relying on the US.
“Europe can no longer afford to linger at the margins,” he said in the article that was co-authored with Kalypso Nicolaïdis, an occasional adviser to the EU and professorial chair in international affairs at the Florence school of transnational governance at the European University Institute. “The EU needs a concerted plan.
“Not only is Europe’s own security at stake, but more important, European history imposes a duty on Europeans to intervene in response to Israel’s violations of international law,” they say, adding: “Europeans cannot stay the hapless fools in this tragic story, dishing out cash with their eyes closed.”
Prepare to be disappointed.
I was a lifelong supporter of the EU but seeing how cuckolded they are to US and Zionists makes me utterly disgusted. they can’t even bring themselves to suspend a trade association agreement with a country that is committing genocide ever though that trade deal explicitly mentions human rights abuses as a reason for suspension.
Fuck the EU.
These statements come a lot easier as a former diplomat. Let’s see if any of the current bunch have the balls to say it
I thought this was about rescuing hostages. When did that switch to genocide? /s
According to a lengthy report by the New York Times, Trump’s statement that he would take as long as two weeks to decide on whether to strike Iran — because of a “substantial” chance for diplomacy — was always merely a calculated misdirection. At around 5 p.m. on Friday June 20, just a few hours after the E3 talks in Geneva concluded, Trump ordered the bombers into the air, the newspaper reported.

It’s pretty clear the EU is too bloated governance wise to quickly respond to just about anything
