Europe’s Hypocrisy on Gaza and the West Bank 8/11/2025

                               

European leaders publicly express anguished sorrow over the horrific loss of life in Gaza, yet their actions reveal deep hypocrisy. For decades, Europe has continued to supply Israel with weapons and military aid, enabling not only the devastating assaults on Gaza but also the ongoing settler terrorism and brutal occupation in the West Bank. This deadly support has persisted since Israel’s founding in 1948, making Europe complicit in systemic violence and oppression.
At the same time, anyone who dares to criticize Israel’s actions is quickly branded an anti-Semite and criminalized, effectively silencing legitimate dissent and obstructing justice. Despite tearful statements and hollow condemnations, not a single courageous European voice demands an end to the occupation or a halt to the flow of arms fueling endless suffering.
The blockade starving Gaza continues with Europe’s silent acquiescence, while millions of Palestinians face starvation, displacement, and destruction. Europe’s crocodile tears must be met with urgent calls for real action: a complete halt to weapons transfers to Israel, an end to the occupation, and a massive humanitarian response to flood Gaza with food, medicine, and aid. Anything less is complicity in this ongoing tragedy and a betrayal of human rights and international law.
