That should ruffle up some feathers 😋
Europe should have a policy of containment of the entire Greater Middle East. It brings nothing but chaos, violence and terror to us. Palestine is a great example. Europe spend billions of euros over decades only to have Palestinians build a barbaric terror state hellbent on genocide and Palestinian “colonies” in Europe fully backing them.
Of course Hamas shouldn’t receive a dime (helping Palestinians is indirectly helping Hamas). But European states shouldn’t waste tax money on a region hostile to us with which we have no evidence that our assistance helps.

Finally….
They are not going to sanction Israel for their 80 years of oppression and genocide against Palestinians, but they are going to sanction anyone who resists oppression??
Can someone explain this to me? If Hamas is a terrorist group are there not already sanctions?
And what is Israel currently doing to Palestine?
No issue with that, I hope they do it.
I just wished they also had the balls to call for sanctions on Israel for the occupation in the West Bank and the massacre in Gaza.
