The European Union claims to uphold international law and human rights law. It even has that commitment written into its special trade treaty with Israel.
The European Union lies to us and instead supports Israel unconditionally.

Israel used weapons in Gaza that made thousands of Palestinians evaporate

C'mon folks, only 721 people to go and we've passed the Irish threshold. If you haven't signed this already, why not?
It's an important EU citizen led initiative that needs 7 countries to pass their threshold, and then the EU government machine is forced to talk about it.

Just a reminder that at least 242 journalists were killed by Israel since October 7.
Palestine was the test to see what they could do. Not standing in solidarity with Palestinians was not only a major moral and ethical failing it was a strategic mistake that everyone will pay for.

Across January, UNRWA schools-turned-shelters in #Gaza were reportedly directly or indirectly hit, and 7 were reportedly demolished by Israeli forces, according to UNRWA’s latest situation reports.
Though a ceasefire has been in place in Gaza since 10 October 2025, bombs are still falling.

In #Gaza, winter storms cause flooding and are exposing families to cold temperatures and contaminated floodwaters.
While UNRWA continues to support the most vulnerable people in Gaza, shelter supplies remain insufficient to meet the immense needs.
