The proposal would suspend the central plank of a decades-old free trade deal that removed tariffs on imports of goods between Europe and Israel.

However, suspension of the agreement requires the backing of a weighted majority of EU capitals, meaning Germany or Italy would first need to lift their opposition to the 27-state union sanctioning Israel.

    If this were happening anywhere else in the world, we’d have been talking about sending UN peacekeepers for a long time. If the main support were not the USA, there would be talk of sending a multilateral peace mission.

    Here we are not even talking about a complete break, two years later we are talking about a partial suspension. The shame is absolute and will haunt us for a long time.

    Not only preferential treatment, we should end all treatment, Israel finally fully revealed itself as a rogue terrorist country and the so called IDF one of the largest terrorist groups in the world.

    And if anyone acuses me of anti-semitism for saying this, they’re a moronic parrot.
