      To what end?
      This isn’t something Palestine can fight their way out of, however many weapons they have.

        EU send incredible amount of weapons to Ukraine, citing repelling invasion. So even if we generously forget how most of their members were participating in invasion of Iraq and Afghanistan, surely they can send at least some weapons to Palestine?

          1. This is a far messier situation than ukraine being invaded, and 2) this literally just started. And multiple nations have spoken up about defending palestinians already.

          The invasion of Iraq, bad as it was, never had the aim of annexing the country and destroy their culture language and identity. Never stole children. Etc.

            That is a really stupid goalpost to stand by. The semantics you’ve drawn really do spell out “I only care about the invasion of Ukraine. Iraq and Gaza aren’t that bad.”

        Probably as much as possible, especially that Netanyahu is known for unhinged hate and slander for Palestinians and Biden now just repeats it after him.

      Because the very same article shows the EU most certainly doesn’t like Hamas.

      His condemnation of Israel’s behaviour came after three days of EU rhetoric that had focused on the “utterly inhuman … shocking … barbarous” nature of Hamas’ atrocities, while highlighting Israel’s rights rather than its obligations.

      He pledged his staff would conduct a swift review of EU aid to Palestine to make sure no money ended up with Hamas via error or deception.

      Stopping aid to ordinary Palestinians would be “the best present we could give to Hamas and it would jeopardise our interests and partnerships in the Arab world,” he added.

      “We want to make sure that, beyond UNRWA, the EU budget does not get to any organisations which has any ties, any links to Hamas,” he said.

      EU sending weapons is not a matter of who is defending or attacking, only a matter of who they like

        Of course, i was (rhetorically) asking our resident EU shills which claims EU is follwing some kind of beningn international policy.
