EU changing position on Gaza civilians?

 

 Affirming the EU’s commitment to “a lasting and sustainable peace based on the two-state solution through reinvigorated efforts in the Middle East Peace Process,” the statement called for continued engagement with “legitimate Palestinian authorities” and their regional and international partners.

The Council members described humanitarian aid to civilians in Gaza as critical for preventing further escalation of hostilities, while reiterating that there was “no justification for terror.” All civilians must be protected “at all times in line with International Humanitarian Law,” the statement read. The EU was “ready to continue supporting those civilians most in need in Gaza in coordination with partners,” so long as it could be ensured that such support was not “abused by terrorist organizations,” it said.


The European Commission on Monday pledged to “urgently review” development aid to the Palestinian territories to make sure none of the funds were being misused, walking back a statement issued less than six hours earlier by EU Commissioner Oliver Varhelyi that all aid to Palestine would “immediately” be suspended.

After being caught with its pants down in siding with Israel to massacre the Palestinians, and with overwhelming international condemnation for the holocaust the Nazi Israelis are going to launch against the Palestinians, the EU is trying to correct its reckless and irresponsible position. Instead of its earlier position to suspend all aids to the Palestinians immediately. It's position is now more aligned to the international position of a two state solution and that the Palestinians also have rights to live.

But as for aids, the position is really the same. No aids. The aid would only be given with conditions and the conditions are likely not to be satisfied and used as an excuse not to give aid to the Palestinian. So basically, let the Palestinians die in the siege. Cannot expect the Europeans to not support the Israelis to terminate the Palestinians even if it is against human rights, a crime against humanity. This is just like the white Australians pretending to hold a referendum to protect the rights of the aborigines, to be determined by the white Australians. And they put up a scarecrow to shoot it down themselves.

The Palestinians cannot hope for the white men to save them. Their only hope is from the Global South and the Arab and Muslim states. And don't ever be so silly to think that the Americans are running around to save them. See the tail with an arrow head behind Blinken?
