Hrncirova said that the EU was instead pressing Israel to allow aid inside the enclave, while demanding it lifted restrictions on international humanitarian agencies.

EU had 703 days to do something about it. So at this point you are either incompetent or complicit. Either way this floatila does more than you. So stop embarrassing yourself and shut the fuck up.

European Commission seeks to deny lifesaving aid, encourages the forced starvation of Palestinians.

There, fixed that headline.

[–] nearhat@lemmy.zip 6 points 4 weeks ago

basically, they can escalate the situation and they also put their participants at risk

Escalate? Delivering humanitarian aid, which is a right to all humans, is not escalating anything.

At risk from whom? From the genocidal zionists who are intentionally starving the Palestinians.

Call a spade a spade. Israel is intentionally and sadistically starving children.

Good bye Liam Cunningham. EU justified you being possibly murdered by the IDF.

Make no mistake, the politicians of the EU, UK & US are collectively responsible for this genocide. The same taxpayer funded subsidies given to Israel by the West for the past 80 years has been used to buy unconditional support from the western ruling classes and oligarchs.

The only way this ends is when the wealthy and powerful are in fear of their lives.
