Shaping Europe's future, with a bold and ambitious pathway already paved.

On 10 September, President von der Leyen will deliver her State of the European Union address in the European Parliament. This is a key moment for EU democracy.

This is where the President assesses progress, sets priorities are set, and defines the next steps to make sure the EU meets the expectations of Europeans.

It’s about your Europe, your future.

See how far we have come on our pathway 👉 https://europa.eu/!8WtBy3

President von der Leyen is guilty of complicity in genocide. She does not speak for us.

There can be no talk of European democracy when its institutions are actively complicit in arming and profiting from this ongoing terror.

The EU still retains normal relations with Israel (in stark contrast with Russia) when Israel is clearly breaking all human rights obligations in EU/Israel trade agreements.

This is what a genocide denialist looks like.

Genocide denial is the last stage of genocide.

Phil, you’re complicit in genocide. And history is taking notes.

@palestine The now-deleted post, for reference.

When I said history is taking notes, I didn’t mean it metaphorically.

"People are astonished, people are indignant. People say: "How strange! But, bah! It's Nazism, it'll pass! And people wait, and hope; and people hide the truth to themselves – that it's barbarism, but the supreme barbarism, the one that crowns, the one that sums up the everyday barbarities; that it's Nazism, yes, but that before being its victims, people were its accomplices; that people put up with this Nazism before suffering it, people absolved it, people turned a blind eye to it, people legitimised it, because until then it had only been applied to non-European peoples; that people nurtured this Nazism, people are responsible for it, and that it bubbles, that it pierces, that it drips, before engulfing people in its reddened waters, from all the cracks in the Western and Christian civilisation."

"We should first examine how colonisation works to decivilise the coloniser, to literally dumb them down, to degrade them, to awaken them to buried instincts, to greed, to violence, to racial hatred, to ethical relativism."

This is what complicity in genocide looks like.

The only valid reason for working at Microsoft right now is if you’re actively engaged in sabotage.

Same goes for Google, and any other corporation working with Israel to help commit genocide in Palestine.

History is watching (and taking notes).

What does it mean when someone who is silent on condemning Israel’s genocide of the Palestinian people has no end of words to malign those of us speaking out against it?

I don't often quote Counterfire, but:

"Britain has many options for acting, such as:

* Supporting and enforcing the International Court of Justice rulings against Netanyahu and other Israeli ministers.
* Expelling Israeli diplomats.
* Inviting Israeli opposition leaders to meet with Britain and other countries to draw up a peace proposal.
...
* Calling a summit with EU member states to impose sanctions on Israel"

"The British state is still complicit in this genocide, whatever a pathetic man like David Lammy says. However, it is precisely for that reason that people in Britain are in a genuine position to make a difference. As listed above, there are real things we could get done to save Palestinian lives"

Folks, don’t be so hard on AOC, she didn’t vote against cutting off weapons to Hitler, she voted against reducing the defensive capabilities of the Nazi regime. Did I say Hitler, sorry, I meant Netanyahu. Oh, and I meant, Israel, not the Nazi regime.

“The EU’s most senior diplomat, Kaja Kallas, said the bloc would keep ‘options on the table’ to pressure Israel’s government if there was no improvement in the ‘catastrophic’ humanitarian situation in Gaza. According to several diplomatic sources she did not endorse any one of 10 sanctions options drawn up by her team, after an earlier EU review found ‘indications’ Israel was in breach of human rights commitments.”

Dear @EUCommission,

Your complicity in the Israeli genocide of the Palestinian people is not going unnoticed.

Shame on you.
