        There is no “it is” in my statement above. Changes the meaning quite a bit.

          What no. In any case you do not want to be compared to the US.

          But if the argument is “the US matters, you dont”, then that is one of the few things where you would want to be more like the US

    “The European Union should realise that Israel […] should be treated fairly”

    Absolutely, 100% agree. Israel should be treated fairly, with entirely in accordance and respect to international treaties, international law, without double standards and without prejudice. You do the crime, your do the time, nothing less nothing more.

    Now, where were we, the ICJ has ruled the occupation illegal and the system imposed as apartheid, has imposed provisional measures and is considering a genocide case. Oh and the ICC has some arrest warrants pending.

    Fair is fair motherfuckers.

    “If you respect a partner, you discuss and negotiate with a partner. You don’t pressure, you don’t threaten.” - Imagine an Israeli representative said this with a straight face. Unhinged. EU must cut all ties with Israel until the holocaust has stopped

    for some years. They have way too much influence in the EU.
