      To what end?
      This isn’t something Palestine can fight their way out of, however many weapons they have.

      Because Israel destroying HAMAS or Palestine doesn’t threaten EU. Yet.

        EU send incredible amount of weapons to Ukraine, citing repelling invasion. So even if we generously forget how most of their members were participating in invasion of Iraq and Afghanistan, surely they can send at least some weapons to Palestine?

          1. This is a far messier situation than ukraine being invaded, and 2) this literally just started. And multiple nations have spoken up about defending palestinians already.

            never had the aim of annexing the country and destroy their culture language and identity. Never stole children. Etc.

            That is a really stupid goalpost to stand by. The semantics you’ve drawn really do spell out “I only care about the invasion of Ukraine. Iraq and Gaza aren’t that bad.”

      Biden and the US have delivered and promises more military aid for Israel. What death toll do we want here? https://www.reuters.com/world/biden-speaks-with-israels-netanyahu-us-monitors-situation-2023-10-11/

        Probably as much as possible, especially that Netanyahu is known for unhinged hate and slander for Palestinians and Biden now just repeats it after him.

      Because the very same article shows the EU most certainly doesn’t like Hamas.

      His condemnation of Israel’s behaviour came after three days of EU rhetoric that had focused on the “utterly inhuman … shocking … barbarous” nature of Hamas’ atrocities, while highlighting Israel’s rights rather than its obligations.

      He pledged his staff would conduct a swift review of EU aid to Palestine to make sure no money ended up with Hamas via error or deception.

      Stopping aid to ordinary Palestinians would be “the best present we could give to Hamas and it would jeopardise our interests and partnerships in the Arab world,” he added.

      “We want to make sure that, beyond UNRWA, the EU budget does not get to any organisations which has any ties, any links to Hamas,” he said.

      EU sending weapons is not a matter of who is defending or attacking, only a matter of who they like

        Critical thinking is when you parrot literal IDF propaganda

          The IDF isn’t even claiming this. They say there’s no evidence. That means if you repeat this, you are quicker to believe propaganda about Palestinians than the IDF.

        Just because you 100% bought into western media bullshit about WMD in Iraq and the incubator babies doesn’t mean you have to double down on the next round of obvious bullshit

        Did you know that most modern devices come with a builtin filter app to detect Hamas propaganda, as per Israeli law? Press Alt-F4 to activate it

          That only works on desktop. On mobile, you need to hold volume up and power, release when the device reboots, scroll to recovery mode using the volume keys, then choose factory reset
