Israel’s military attaché seen rubbing shoulders in the European Commission today.

Colonel Moshe Tetro has been referred to the International Criminal Court for 'orchestrating starvation and targeting healthcare facilities' including the bombing of Al Shifa hospital.

While Ursula von der Leyen was on the phone to a war criminal wanted by the ICC, 100,000 marched against him on the streets of Brussels

For the first time, the European Parliament will use the term ‘genocide’ to describe the situation in Gaza. This is thanks to months of lobbying by @left.eu

People rightly make fun of Brits for this kind of behaviour, but this is also Italians literally anywhere they go 😄

It’s in Europe’s interest to put sanctions on Israel Limiting trade, travel and freezing foreign reserves would show the EU is willing to act independently of the US

YouTube video by The New York Times How Israeli Soldiers Killed 15 Rescue Workers in Gaza | Visual Investigation

Everyone should watch the New York Times visual investigation of the murder of 15 rescue workers in Gaza

Israel has not faced a single repercussion following this massacre. EU journalists continue to quote IDF statements as reliable sources...

Strong Irish Bloc at the national demonstration for Palestine in Brussels

I spoke to @anadoluajansicom.bsky.social recently about EU civil servants' concerns over complicity in war crimes in Gaza, due to decisions by EU leaders.

Trade has continued to flow to Israel despite ICC and ICJ cases, and there are so far no signs this will change.

The headlines vs the EU Commission

When I see world leaders paying homage to the Pope despite ignoring everything he said about climate change and peace for the last 13 years

A small thing but I love how when you donate blood in Belgium the snack is a waffle.

Video Shows Aid Workers Killed in Gaza Under Gunfire Barrage, With Ambulance Lights On The U.N. has said Israel killed the workers. The video appears to contradict Israel’s version of events, which said the vehicles were “advancing suspiciously” without headlights or emergency signals.

It’s hard to sleep with the sound of a paramedic in my head saying: “Forgive me mother this is the path I chose to help people” before he is executed by the IDF.

I wonder how do European leaders do it?

Anytime someone suggests that the European Parliament moves permanently to Strasbourg they should be given the task of finding a bottle of beer or a pint of milk after 7pm in this city.

Solidarity with Shane O’Brien, Berta Murray and all those threatened with deportation by German authorities for protesting against genocide.

Germany to deport four foreign residents for pro-Palestine activism The four have not been convicted of any crime but are alleged to have participated in protests against Israel's assault on Gaza.

Germany moves to deport Irish students for protesting against Israel.

"The four people slated for deportation, Cooper Longbottom, Kasia Wlaszczyk, Shane O’Brien, and Roberta Murray, are citizens of, respectively, the United States, Poland, and Ireland."

Sorry but did the European Commissioner for Preparedness just admit to carrying around a knife at all times?

Under Belgian law you need a 'legitimate motive' to carry a blade in public since 2006.

Fantastic reporting on the lynching of Palestinians in the West Bank from @politico.eu

My brother went to a gig in Ireland’s ‘National Stadium’ last night and the bar was stocked like a country pub

The inconvenient truth about Ursula von der Leyen The woman nominated for Commission chief has plenty of critics back home.

I think we need to discuss more the fact that a failed German Defense Minister is leading the drive to rearm the entire continent.

How do you justify keeping the EU-Israel Association Agreement alive in light of this?

The International Criminal Court faces “existential threat from the United States” - ICC President Judge Tomoko Akane in the European Parliament today

So two men who have both been found liable of sexual assault are meeting to berate immigration policy in Ireland on the national holiday celebrating an immigrant. Feckin clowns.

A predominantly Irish panel leading this far-right event in the European Parliament tomorrow, hosted by Viktor Orbán’s thinktank MCC

A new low for the EU.

European Commission backs the failed 'Rwanda model' of making life as miserable as possible for the most vulnerable people on earth at great expense to the taxpayer.

The images of German police punching protestors in the face yesterday are shocking.

The lobbying budgets of the largest European defense companies surged around 40 percent between 2022 and 2023, a data investigation by POLITICO found. 👉 www.politico.eu/article/eu-d...

Netanyahu is wanted in The Hague for "starvation as a method of warfare and the crimes against humanity of murder, persecution, and other inhumane acts"

And EU Commissioners are meeting with his Ministers to promote trade.

Today ursula von der Leyen is announcing a massive militarisation package called ReArm Europe.

This will be good news for regimes in the Middle East who are the biggest recipient of EU weapons exports.
