"Israel has a right to self-defence, but it has to be done within international law ... cutting water, cutting electricity, cutting food to a mass of civilian people is against international law," said EU foreign policy chief Josep Borrell on Tuesday (10 October).

He repeated the view more than once in his press briefing. "The Palestinian people are also suffering," he added.

An eye for an eye leaves the whole world blind. This cycle of violence and repression needs to stop.

"And in response we will send 100 billion in lethal aid directly to Israel."

Israelis are doing a genocide in Gaza right now and the whole western world will celebrate it at worst and tut about it at best. Disgusting

Obviously illegal. Collective punishment is a war crime and makes Israel a monster. Imagine if there was a murderer in your building and the feds blew the entire building up.

Israel is willingly lead by a monster.

Israel's actions are a direct consequence of what Hamas did," Borrell's spokesman had said in Brussels earlier the same day.

Uhh, I think you meant to say "Hamas' actions are a direct consequence of what Israel has been doing to Gaza"

The EU may support Israel, but right now they're calling them out for this bullshit and I'm applauding them for that. Hurting innocent civilians is never a good idea no matter which side of the conflict does it.

Wait! I know what Borrell will do: expel Israel from Eurovision! That will serve them right and start behaving!

I don't expect much more from anything leaded by Borrell. We know him well in Spain.

The same people that claim to love ""FREEDOM"" are the same people calling actually real freedom fighters terrorists.
