Israel is currently killing, during 'ceasefire', as many civilians in Gaza per day as Russia is killing in Ukraine, which has a population of over 20 times that of pre-genocide Gaza.

But Ukraine is the 'priority'.

And the genocide in Sudan? European Union doesn't care.

✈️ In July 2024, DHL parcels exploded in logistics centres in the UK, Poland and Germany. Each of them was powerful enough to have brought down a cargo plane had they detonated onboard, - FT

Security services would eventually trace the plot back to a group of Russian-directed saboteurs.

Five months ago, this via @euobserver.com. It was the second report to state the obvious.

The first such report is now a full year old.

No action has been taken by the self-styled EU ‘peace movement’.

Yesterday, the EU council of foreign affairs ministers decided, based on this report that details widespread Israeli violations of international humanitarian law in Gaza, to wait and see if Israel improves access to aid.
