Cohesion once let regions set their future; the new budget folds #Cohesion into a packed mega-envelope. Empowerment & democracy are swapped for compliance. When one in three voters flirts with Euroscepticism, this is political arson https://t.co/ngFNydwJRo

"We are failing Gaza’s children. Seen through their eyes, our failure is a betrayal of their right to be children. Children who are healthy, safe, and educated. History will judge this failure harshly. Children in #Gaza, like children all over the world, deserve peace,"

This is what Israel's genocide in Gaza looks like:
Israel is starving to death 500,000 Palestinians in Gaza right now. “Families told me there are days their children are not eating at all … mothers are telling me how they're trying to have kids not play so that they don't draw more energy.”

To my fellow Europeans, 450ml EU citizens : The EU, which had already disgraced itself by entering the Association agreement with Apartheid Israel years ago, is now refusing to suspend it. This is the final piece of evidence that the EU is consciously supporting Israel’s
The EU’s refusal to suspend its agreement with Israel is a cruel and unlawful betrayal – of the European project and vision, predicated on upholding international law and fighting authoritarian practices, of the European Union’s own rules and of the human rights of Palestinians.

Wherever you look at - be it EU-US trade or EU-Israel -, the EU deliberately fails to project its power to make itself relevant and respected. This isn't a bug, but a self-imposed outcome

Jimmy Carter was call antisemitic for accusing Israel of apartheid -- an early misuse of the antisemitism charge to silence legitimate criticism of Israel. In fact, he was prescient. All major rights groups now agree wirh him. He deserves an apology.

The ex-president was pilloried for his characterisation of the Palestinians’ plight but some say an apology is in order
