I agree that the EU is on shaky ground, but disagree as to where that ground is.
A few days ago the EU blacklisted Hezbollah's military wing as a terror group. Aside from the question as to whether or not Hezbollah even has a military wing, the 2012 bus bombing in Bulgaria giving initial rise to the push for blacklisting was quite possibly an Israeli false-flag operation specifically designed to put Hezbollah in the frame.
And then along came Syria. Shaky ground indeed.
Perhaps the European Union can't be judge and jury, but can the Israeli/US union trustfully do that job either? What a right bucket of worms those clowns have made for themselves and for the rest of us.

The settlements remain illegal. The are permanent civilian settlements in territory occupied by war. Singer, no nonsense on your part will change that. Israel has a right to have an army of occupation in the territories since there has been no peace treaty. They have no more right to settle civilians in those territories than the US had to establish towns and cities in Germany and Japan after WW2. Evacuate the settlements and retain the army of occupation until there is a peace treaty, and Israel will conform to international law. The problem is not the European Union. The problem is the illegal settlements.

Singer is like the youth that has put all his fingers in the still leaking dyke. He refuses to admit that Israel, because of its brutality, greed and genocide, is no longer favored by the world.

Yes, people across the world no longer believe the spin, the lies, the B.S. which Israel fills the world with. They remember the carpet bombing of Gaza where 1,400 Palestinians were killed compared with five or six Israelis.

They remember the phosphorous munitions the Israelis used which burn through to the bone. They remember the blockade of Gaza when food and medicines were turned off and on like a tap as a form of collective punishment.

Singer, Israel, like the U.S. has lost the plot and the world is turning against both imperial, warmongering nations.

You can't white-wash unadulterated evil!

I think the eminent Paul Craig Roberts put it well when he recently wrote:

“Polls from all over the world consistently show that Israel and the US are regarded as the two greatest threats to peace and to life on earth. Yet, these two utterly lawless governments prance around pretending to be the “world’s greatest democracies.” Neither government accepts any accountability whatsoever to international law, to human rights, to the Geneva Conventions, or to their own statutory law. The US and Israel are rogue governments, throwbacks to the Hitler and Stalin era.

The post World War II wars originate in Washington and Israel. No other country has imperial expansionary ambitions. The Chinese government has not seized Taiwan, which China could do at will. The Russian government has not seized former constituent parts of Russia, such as Georgia, which, provoked by Washington to launch an attack, was instantly overwhelmed by the Russian Army. Putin could have hung Washington’s Georgian puppet and reincorporated Georgia into Russia, where it resided for several centuries and where many believe it belongs.

For the past 68 years, most military aggression can be sourced to the US and Israel. Yet, these two originators of wars pretend to be the victims of aggression. It is Israel that has a nuclear arsenal that is illegal, unacknowledged, and unaccountable. It is Washington that has drafted a war plan based on nuclear first strike. The rest of the world is correct to view these two rogue unaccountable governments as direct threats to life on earth.”

The recent change of stance by the EU is therefore blatantly obvious and well justified.

Geoff from Perth echoes my words above when he quotes from Paul Craig Roberts. Indeed, Israel and America most threaten world peace!

Roberts is an eminent American who, correctly, condemns his own country for its imperialism and its attempts to control the world.

His words should be read by everyone but more particularly by those pathetic Australians who foolishly worship the U.S.

"Palestine: European Union can't be judge and jury"

Reckon?

They just have.

Onya, EU
