Israel will not face any EU sanctions despite creating famine in Gaza, massacring 63,000 people, and declaring the end of the two-state solution.

Compare that to how fast they started mounting new sanctions against Iran recently.

They would love to starve arabs here. Flash forward to last family christmas when they started talking about how "there's too much of them". My wife is north african.

The UK is being too patient on declaring independence for Palestine. Despite this dire state, most countries in Europe continue to send weapons to Israel and provide diplomatic powers to Israel.

[–] mrdown@lemmy.world 6 points 6 days ago

It simply don't care about palestinians. They will only use meanless recognition to say see we believe in peace. While not adressing palestinian state border and wanting palestinians to not have an army to defend itself, no mention of repercussions if israel refuse to dismentle the settlements

Deeply concerned

Define "action"

They have identified it as a famine. And almost every day they say it's Israel intentionally starving people as a weapon of war.

[–] NoneOfUrBusiness@fedia.io 5 points 6 days ago

The famine declaration was by the UN, not the EU. As for the latter I haven't heard of any EU declaration going that far. Even if it did, though, those are words, not action.

Complete end of selling and buying arms to/fron israel. Impose cuba like sanctions on the state of israel not just settlements

[–] quick_snail@feddit.nl 0 points 6 days ago* (last edited 6 days ago) (1 children)

PThe UN isn't buying and selling arms to Israel.

I don't think the UN has sanctions on Cuba, either.

Both of those things are done by States. The purpose of the UN is to talk. And they're doing it.

The body of the post starts with

Israel will not face any EU sanctions despite

Further, EU nations could invade Israel and deliver famine relief with armed escorts instructed to shoot at any disruptions from the IDF.

Any nation state claiming to represent the entirety of the Jewish People gets a "Free Holocaust Pass (Valid For Executing One Holocaust ONLY)".

[–] UltraGiGaGigantic@lemmy.ml 2 points 6 days ago (1 children)

Can the holocaust last as long as the nation state wants?

[–] Aceticon@lemmy.dbzer0.com 4 points 6 days ago* (last edited 6 days ago)

Well, Holocausts naturaly end once the untermenschen ethnicity has been wiped out, which is generally the whole point of doing a Holocaust.

[–] flandish@lemmy.world 18 points 1 week ago (1 children)

that’s just it - no “action” is still an action. they are pro genocide. plain and simple.

[–] Mihies@programming.dev 9 points 6 days ago

Oh, absolutely. At best we are recognizing Palestine as state which doesn't matter a bit, and politicians tap on their shoulders how brave they were.
