I can be controversial or annoying because I always require proof and facts for whatever people are saying/claiming. This has gotten me into a lot of heated debates, even got myself banned from “YouShouldKnow” for saying I need more proof of Israeli’s genocide (that was long ago, got more proof and changed my mind). If I do not agree on some subjectively obvious topic, please do not assume I’m being unfriendly, evil or a troll. I do try my best to approach any subject with neutral and open mind. Just call me autistic with OCD

  • This is your comment;

    By not colluding. By following international law. By not gifting lucrative trade deals and contract to genocidal thugs. By not granting special observer status within the EU to a mass-murdering nation. By not trading with settler-colonial ethnostates. By not wishing “happy international friendship day” to Israel on official EU social media accounts. By doing what semi-decent countries, such as South Africa do when there is a bloodbath.

    So let’s go over it.

    The human reaction to such atrocities - the holocaust of our time - is not: “how do I get in on this”.

    EU has not tried to join the conflict or profit from it. We have, however, sent assist.

    By not colluding (in genocide)

    They would need to show EU and member states knowingly assisted particular unlawful acts. Merely maintaining diplomatic relations, trade, or research cooperation does not legally equal collusion.

    By following international law.

    Same as before. EU is not world police.

    By not gifting lucrative trade deals and contract to genocidal thugs.

    Are you saying people of Israel does not deserve equal treatment to others because of what their government did? The deals are not done with Benyamin. They’re literally paying for the programmes they participate it. That rhetoric comes awfully close to genocide supporters.

    By not trading with settler-colonial ethnostates

    EU countries can do that. No one bars them from doing so. However, that is not the function of EU. Funnily enough, international law does not contain a general prohibition on trading with countries somebody classifies as “settler-colonial ethnostates.”

    By not wishing “happy international friendship day” to Israel on official EU social media accounts.

    Are you talking about random tweet congratulating Israel on 75th year of independence, a country full of innocent people, not Netanyahu, IDF or military? Interesting. Did you know China and Russia, who are borderline their enemies, did it too? By the same logic, should we become hostile towards every American just because of what Trump does? Same for China, Russia, Thailand, much of Africa, etc… If you say no, then you’re a hypocrite. If you say yes, you’re a dangerous person to society and stability of the world. We still maintain semi-normal relations with Russians themselves despite what is happening you know… one of my best friends is Russian.

    By doing what semi-decent countries, such as South Africa

    You do realize most of the times countries defend someone, is not because they care about the thing they’re defending, but because of other ulterior motives? No one even cared about the Jews in WW2 till they invaded big players and everyone needed to mobilize the population into fighting against them, and Jews was a good event to pick for propaganda (not that it didn’t happen, but it’s simply not why countries went against Germany)
