The EU must act: suspend the EU-Israel Agreement, support peace voices in Israel, and stop looking away from Gaza.

Israel is a rogue, genocidal state and it will continue acting like a rogue, genocidal state because it has been enabled for nearly two years to openly carry out a genocide. This will not stop until Israel is forced to stop but the states that can do so are instead enabling it to continue

I don’t get how anyone can try to spin this into anything other than what it blatantly is. There is no Palestinian army. There is no way for Gaza, where the population is predominantly children to defend themselves. What Israel is doing is called a genocide because that is what it is.
