They're covering it here in Europe it's on the news regularly. The problem is that nobody cares in Europe to do anything.
To clarify, they cover the facts of the matter in a very abstract, passive way - they'll say that Lebanon is being struck by Israeli missiles and that IDF forces are telling people to leave their homes, but no one will even come close to suggesting that what's happening is ethnic cleansing.
Which is, in all honesty, the correct way to cover news reports.
When an israeli official ssy we going to replicate what happened in Gaza. It should be reported because it is a huge important detail
Just checked belgian national news and there's nothing
Many do care but can't do much about it. Decades of government and capitalism propaganda have empowered authorities beyond control and have make it hard for people to do something outside their work.
Wyatt should we do? Go to war with America essentially?
Sanction Israel for genocide for a start. Cut off diplomatic economic educational and financial ties with them. Like the world did with South Africa.
But Europe doesn't give a fuck about genocide unless it's on their soil.
And get pressured and possibly worse by America?
Then let's sanction america. Why are you such a genocide apologist simp?
Why are you (whatever your country is) supporting America? Why is half the world using the US Dollar for international trade? How is your country enabling the USA?
Do you think the USA are Nazis? Do you think if you sit at the table with Nazis, you're a Nazi? Is your country sitting at the table?
Ofc they're nazis. Our politicians were most probably filmed by the cia on jeffrey island fucking kids. They also murdered leftist politicians.
My country doesn't exist anyway we're basically occupied by the germans.
The US $ is the world currency for oil. Sanctioning America = sanctioning yourself.
Sounds like a good reason to wean ourselves off of oil then, doesn't it?
If ~~the apocalypse~~ climate change won't change people's minds perhaps being controlled by a warmongering foreign state will.
Iran has promised to let ships through from countries that sanction the US, so it would be a good way to get oil, actually. I'm sure the EU can give Venezuela air defense against US invasion in exchange for a good deal on their oil too.
Oh i guess the pedophilia and genocide is fine then. My right to vroemvroem my fatass to my shitty office job is obviously more important than those lowly considerations

Spain and switzerland show that you can refuse the usa orders and restrict stuffs from the usa
Fair. But if any bloc in the world can do it it's the European Union. But their members don't give a shit otherwise they would have by now.
The fact is no one in Europe cares about it. Years, decades, of weasel words and inaction. Years of illegal occupation and ifnoryof UN mandates. Years of on going genocide. But the people dying aren't white Europeans... oh well too bad for them I suppose?
Yeah, and Pakistan and Indonesia have done what exactly? The Saudis have sanctioned and oil embargoed the US? Egypt has forced aid through the Gaza border? Turkey has seized American military bases? Right? Right? No.
Everyone is complicit. More or less every nation would rather have peace and comfortable political discussions, rather than stand up against the world hegemon. Some tried, Libya, Iraq, Cuba, Venezuela, and Iran. Find me one country that has opposed the US in this? And before you say Spain, let me note that they haven't even kicked out their ambassador. What do you want from Europe that no other country is willing to do?
The difference is that European countries regularly proselytise how open and kind they are and how they respect the rule of law and international human rights. Pakistan / Saudi Arabia doesn't 😄.
Yes. They are. But Europe should take a lead in this if I am honest. Lead by example that if you genocide people you can't do business here.
But that's not going to happen.
I agree 100%, and as a European I am disgusted by the political elites here and have been since the Iraq War when I marched in protest against their obvious violations of international law. But the so called democracies of Europe are in many ways plutocracies beholden to the plutocracy of the US. I've voted, protested, written in the papers and been part of organizations, yet my opinions are by the majority considered radical and unrealistic. But at least in Europe, people like me are not put behind bars.
I think sanctions have been tried a few times. People care. It’s just very hard to do anything meaningful aslong as America supports them 100%
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_sanctions_involving_Israel
The sanctions should be on the state who is building colonies and not simply some random settlers and settler orgs
There are European nations that send a lot of money to Israel every year. Maybe they can stop doing that?
Yeah. What are you scared of? Iran is kicking our ass.
They signed the genocide convention. It is a legal obligation
America defines what’s legal or not sadly
False It is the UN.
Believe it or not, all people would have to do to stop the government is as simple as stop watching netflix or buying from amazon: the market would panic and so would the government.
Yes. That is the solution.
Yes. Nuke new york
