Genocide, invisible, diplomatic disguise

Over the past 19 months, European leaders have tried to mask their response to the Israeli government’s revolt against Hamas organized on October 7, 2023, which appears to be a clear, consistent pattern of behavior. The uprising organized on October 7, 2023. Most non-political observers’ assessment of the Israeli government in cases of the Israeli government or the Palestinian government tends toward the actions reported by Israel in January 202.’ Israeli action in the period before the statement.

Even at that time, genocide was not a difficult situation. At that time, it became more open today. At least, systemic attacks on healthcare infrastructure, collective punishment and intentional, organized acts of hunger fall entirely under the category of war crimes under the Geneva Convention.

Many governments around the world, especially in the West, tend to practice what they might think of as “diplomatic discretion” style to prevent them from explicitly condemning Israel’s actions. Few take any bold steps to use any political influence they can call to prevent Israel from turning a reasonable genocide into one Faits Our Europeans just need to learn to live with it. During this period, several European countries even continued to provide military assistance to Israel.

Ireland, Belgium and Spain are the only members of the EU who have been accused of Israeli war crimes and shall prevail the arms embargo. By contrast, even occasionally hinting to Israeli Prime Minister Bibi Netanyahu’s administration that they would feel more comfortable if he was to reduce the devastating nature, and Britain, Britain and the United States continued to support Israel militarily. Italy initially suspended weapons exports, but later quietly recovered them. “piano,,,,, piano!Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni seems to be saying.

To its credit, Emmanuel Macron’s France has always supported the UN ceasefire resolution, knowing that the United States will reject them, but firmly refuses to call Israel’s actions, genocide, collective punishment or ethnic cleansing. At the same time, it rejected a complete embargo, but has restricted the supply of certain weapons to prove its sympathetic remarks from the suffering population.

In other words, despite some brave moves from a few governments, the Atlantic Alliance (the United States, European countries and the EU itself) remains relatively unified with Israeli solidarity. From the beginning, the U.S. has led a big fanfare, first under Biden and then under Israel’s favorite U.S. President Donald Trump, despite obvious changes.

However, the pressure is increasing and some seams appear to be breaking. Just last week, Macron described the humanitarian situation in Gaza as “unbearable”, adding that it has become “unprecedented” (Not published). By “unprecedented”, he means that Israel seems to behave worse today (Aggravated) earlier than any earlier in the campaign. In other words, his complaints are less than some degree of nature than the nature of the act, as if war crimes could simply evolve before crossing the distant threshold of genocide. This reasoning allows Macron to maintain a position that not only wants to say the G-word, but also acts in any concrete way when he thinks of the ongoing horror.

However, the temperature increased significantly. French state-owned broadcast news network French Radio International ((RFI) The report said that the Macron government has at least begun to think about theoretical turning points, and in addition to this, it is necessary to arouse serious violations of international law. “French Foreign Minister Jean Noel Balotte,” RFI Tell us, “He expressed support for reviewing the EU-Israel Association agreement due to concerns about the humanitarian crisis in Gaza.”

Our The devil’s dictionary Recently, moral ambiguity related to famous politicians expressing “concern” has been emphasized. But Barott claims that the strength of French moral fibers provides another clue: “This is a legal requirement, and I invite the European Commission to review it.”

Today’s Weekly Devil’s Dictionary definition:

Legal request:

A cowardly hope that others will recognize a moral stance that is morally unwilling to take the form of commitment. It contrasts sharply with the same party treating it as an “illegal request”, such as a firm demand for a halt to genocide.

Context Comments

The French always cultivated the idea that they were a generous and popular person, which was clearly reflected in Balotel’s “invitation” to the European Commission to review its solidarity with a country that reliably engages in genocide. Note that the purpose of this invitation is not to change the relationship or take any specific action, but to check it out.

For the current opposition leader Marine Le Pen, the opposition leader of the Macron regime, there are too many such bold moral determination that he believes does not require scrutiny. “In extremely difficult circumstances, Israel is doing its best.” Her reasoning may follow a well-known pattern: Any country that will invite Opprobrium related to the practice of live streaming genocide and ethnic cleansing, only to deal with extremely difficult situations. In Nazi Germany, the father of its regime Marine Corps (and the founder of her party) publicly admired. After losing World War I, the German state found itself humiliated by the winners and paid for high compensation, which in turn inspired angry inflation, undermined the economy and understand the government. The world regards Deutsche Land as the sole culprit for the European leaders of the war. In such a difficult situation, only the Holocaust can follow.

Le Pen herself has experienced the humiliation and shame of being run for election by the court, although polls have given her the lead in the 2027 presidential election. This may help explain her current position on Israel, which she expresses in her criticism of Macron’s impatient criticism of Israel: “He continues to increase criticism of Israel, perhaps because it cannot provide a solution to the fundamentalist struggle of Islamism.” The German example might convince Le Pen that the only reliable way to achieve her goals when trying to “provide a solution” is to target the “final solution.”

History

Historical inertia, patients accept immoral behavior as a Faits or the characteristics of the landscape have become the standard response for leaders such as Macron. Le Pen can point out that he has no solution, but that doesn’t stop him from defending his right to power and from anyone who might have a solution to apply them. Current European leadership is already good at treating unbearable situations as Facts of achievement This can never be seriously questioned and is the most convenient way to define and maintain its dangerous and chaotic policies. For two major conflicts they seem to be committed to, especially this: the war in Ukraine began, then apparently abandoned by the United States, and the nobles of Israel “self-defense” against a captured, occupied and concerned population whose cowardly soldiers were hidden behind human shields, which were essentially made up of women and children.

If it does not involve the sacrifices of about one million Ukrainians and Russians, the European case of inertia about Ukraine could appear cartoonish, at least since U.S. President Donald Trump returns to the White House. Donald awkwardly shows that he is ready to withdraw from the war his predecessor encourages Europe to join. The US propaganda initially had the ability to win a war aimed at humiliating, and ultimately dismantling Russia was already a delusional belief. But it is a positive surreal reality to develop a project to replace the U.S. influence (withdraw from the battle under Trump) and to think that Europe’s commitments may turn the trend around.

European support for Israel follows the same pattern. Former U.S. President Joe Biden set the tone and Europe followed suit. In this case, NATO solidarity cannot provide an excuse, but the logic is the same. The United States leads NATO and NATO leads Europe. With or without NATO, the United States leads Europe… nose. This is the “security system” that Europeans accept (some call it a security blanket). It is not limited to Europe and its periphery. It even applies to countries in West Asia. It should be noted that Macron’s obsession with the idea of ​​”strategic autonomy”, a rare recent European leader who expressed his willingness to reject Vassal’s position. Note that he “desires” and “rejects”, which means he dare not refuse.

Passively conforming to other national policies (Israel and the United States) policies that have less quality of evil, may now return to Europe and France. A group of French “jurists who respect international law” (Jurdi) have taken legal action and issued a formal notice (Official notice) Speech to the European Commission and the European Commission, calling for “immediate suspension of all cooperation agreements with Israel”, sanctions imposed on individuals by the responsible parties and to exclude Israel from the Swift payment system. These are measures that Europeans quickly applied to Russia after their invasion of Ukraine in February 2022.

As world Report, this is an allegation of “organizational complicity”. Readers will notice Official notice (Formal law) and “legal request”.
