TBH it’s not like a condemnation would make any difference… it would only enrage emperor Trump and expose EU countries (and possibly Ukraine) to his majesty’s retaliations.

The sad truth is that - regardless of Trump - Europe can’t currently afford to piss off the US… so the only response can be putting on a good face, buying time, and growing stronger for next time.

This is not to say that all EU leaders are actually playing the long game (eg. Italy’s Melony said that US attack on Venezuela was a legitimate act of self defense) and, no, I’m not gonna shed any tears for Maduro or his regime.

Israel, well known for respecting people’s rights, will surely politely comply with this polite request.

BTW: the “article” is from last week and literally consists of 2 lines…

That’s what you get when the social norm allows people to openly discriminate against (among others) LGBT people.

We should all start calling out idiocy whenever we encounter it (for one, I am guilty of just ignoring it to avoid conflict more often than not).

Definitely a big beautiful deal, just not beautiful for the EU (or… humanity at large)

Well, Georges Ibrahim Abdallah is not the kind of “political prisoner” who is in prison for what they said or wrote… he was in prison for participating in actual assassinations (also, being 74 and having served some 41 years in detention, he has probably been an inmate long enough).

That said, being questioned for praising assassins seems a bit much… I mean, do they for example question everyone who praises Netanyahu or Putin (or any other of the too many bloodthirsty butchers that play into current geopolitical events)?

It must be noticed that the article is far from impartial and that its aim is creating a scandal rather than informing its readers, so it’s difficult to comment on the whole thing based solely on its contents.

Doesn’t matter: there is just no way EU members would agree on sanctioning Israel.

What’s the point? Is that a legally binding contract? What penalties are there if you breach it?

I’d say it’s just social engineering because they have a low bandwidth connection (for the number of users).

Disclaimer: I do find it’s extremely rude to overuse a shared internet connection, regardless of what use you make of it.
