"Israel has a right to self-defence, but it has to be done within international law ... cutting water, cutting electricity, cutting food to a mass of civilian people is against international law," said EU foreign policy chief Josep Borrell on Tuesday (10 October).
He repeated the view more than once in his press briefing. "The Palestinian people are also suffering," he added.
An eye for an eye leaves the whole world blind. This cycle of violence and repression needs to stop.
It's not an eye for an eye though. Israeli atrocities over the decades dwarf what has been inflicted upon them by Palestine and Hamas.
You go far back in history enough and we can be here all day over who is guiltier
In this case you don't need to go back "in history."
It's not an eye-for-an-eye because we shouldn't consider targetting civilians an option. If you want to call militias that target civilians terrorists, be consistent regardless of what uniform they are wearing.
The UN and EU consider lots of things Israel does illegal. We just don't do anything about it and they don't care.
The UN condemns Israel as a pastime activity. Nobody in Israel cares what they say at this point.
Obviously illegal. Collective punishment is a war crime and makes Israel a monster. Imagine if there was a murderer in your building and the feds blew the entire building up.
Israel is willingly lead by a monster.
"The only democracy in the Middle East"
Well, no shit. And nothing will be done about it.
Not directed at OP
Israel's actions are a direct consequence of what Hamas did," Borrell's spokesman had said in Brussels earlier the same day.
Uhh, I think you meant to say "Hamas' actions are a direct consequence of what Israel has been doing to Gaza"
You really wouldn't gather this by looking at the media churn. It's pro Israel to with it's foot to the floor. If you dare voice distention, you are labeled to be an anti Semite. This successful tactic has been a go to for years. For Israel to know true peace, they need to dump its current leadership. I won't see this happen in my lifetime.
The EU may support Israel, but right now they're calling them out for this bullshit and I'm applauding them for that. Hurting innocent civilians is never a good idea no matter which side of the conflict does it.
Gaza doesn’t have any oil so nobody will help.
So was the blockade. and they did nothing about it . bunch of spineless hypocrites
By just having the power to cut water, electricity and food to other ethnic should ring you a fucking bell deep to your throat about the problem!!!
Wait! I know what Borrell will do: expel Israel from Eurovision! That will serve them right and start behaving!
I don't expect much more from anything leaded by Borrell. We know him well in Spain.
I'm going to be real, I doubt they can even muster the will to write a strongly worded letter with the kinds of members who make up the EU.
