Western powers assisting Israel to eliminate Palestinians

Rights campaigners are convinced that Israel is committing genocide and ethnic cleansing against Palestinians; actions blatantly supported by the United States and many EU nations.

The death toll in Gaza continues to soar while people are starving and deprived of the most basic health care.

It's about an ideology, the Zionist ideology that was imported from Europe into our country, our own country of Palestine, and that ideology, its aim, I believe, in my own personal opinion, and it's been proven and it's been shown (to be ) the case that they are trying to eliminate the Palestinian people and the Palestinian culture and history from all of the land of Palestine.

On Monday after he met his Jordanian counterparts in Brussels, the EU's top diplomat, Josep Borrell , again spoke out about the situation facing Palestinians

I want to express my utter dismay over the unbearable climbing human costs and wide-scale destruction caused in Gaza by the conflict.

Josep Borrell, EU Foreign Policy

That's just the problem for EU policy critics, instead of empty words they are demanding economic sanctions and an arms embargo to be placed on Israel. Additionally, the EU has been called upon to clarify its new plans to address the humanitarian crisis in Gaza.

We are looking at the possibility of facilitating medical evacuations jointly with member states and the WHO from the Gaza Strip to third the neighboring countries in the region.

That response has been described as 'pitiful' by those desperate to see adequate international support for dying Palestinians.

 Europe stands with Israel.

Ursula von der Leyen, EU Commission Chief

European Commission Chief Ursula von der Leyen set the tone for the EU when she traveled to Israel last October at the launch of Netanyahu's latest massacre.

The EU's response, or lack thereof, to the atrocities has seriously undermined the blocks credibility in the eyes of many.

And many more are concerned that, for all intents and purposes, there appears to be no limit to what Israel can do before it faces consequences from the West.
