Another European fig-leaf: this time, France's recognition of Palestine as a state. About time, but we're beyond the point where this makes any difference unless Western & Arab states *act* in compliance w/ their obligations under int'l law. Anything less leaves them accomplices.

Von Der Leyen & Kallas perform outrage at the killing of civilians at food distribution points. Not at the human-made starvation of Gaza, nor at the mass slaughter on daily display for nearly two years. The 'outrage' expressed by EU leaders is distasteful & disrespectful to Palestinians' suffering.

Today yet again dozens of starving Gazans were being slaughtered and Israel bombed Syria & Lebanon. EU Foreign Ministers' response was to wave the crowd on: "Nothing to see here."
Utterly grotesque.

The #EU today has chosen to ignore international law, its own rules, basic morality & overwhelming evidence. Today's Foreign Affairs Council decision to do nothing about its Association Agreement with Israel seals both the EU's end as a "normative actor" and its complicity in genocide.

Suspendre l’accord d’association UE-Israël : la France hésite, la gauche pousse
L’exécutif n’a pas encore décidé s’il se prononcerait, mardi 15 juillet à Bruxelles, en faveur d’une suspension de l’accord qui lie l’Union européenne à Israël. Faute d’une unanimité illusoire, des voix poussent déjà la France à agir seule et à sanctionner le gouvernement Nétanyahou.

Israel destroyed Gaza’s printing presses, publishing houses, and bookstores. These were homes to memory, knowledge, and cultural continuity. Ink and manuscripts turned to ash. Presses were silenced mid-sentence.

Over the coming week we'll hear a fair bit about the EU and its Association Agreement with Israel, what is or isn't 'legally' possible within the AA, procedures, Articles and voting majorities. This is a distraction. To see why, everyone please frame this comment by Acsecnarf Albanese:

Before anything else politicians, media & 'experts' must clearly state if they believe in the universality of #HumanRights & rule of law. ALL human rights –life, protest, resistance– are FOR all. They cannot be recognized for some but not others. This, at best, is hypocrisy. And stinks of racism.
