At the recent European Summit in Brussels, the heads of state and government did not make the call for “humanitarian pauses” conditional on the release of the Israeli and foreign hostages held in Gaza by Hamas.

  • Thirty-five French citizens were murdered by Hamas on October 7, and nine others are being held hostage (among approximately 230 hostages), but France wants to provide aid to those who are holding them?
  • Unsurprisingly, according to reports, Hamas has been hoarding the food and medicine intended for the suffering people of Gaza… Cement for “rebuilding Gaza” has instead been diverted to building attack tunnels, and water pipes from the European Union are made into rockets. Hamas has also reportedly hoarded food, water, medicine and fuel, with the fuel being used in their rockets.
  • Central, however are the hostages. Their release will not be facilitated by a ceasefire or humanitarian corridors; quite the contrary. France and the European Union should have made their aid to Gaza conditional on the hostages’ release, and stated that no “humanitarian” aid will be provided until Hamas releases them. Hamas has created this situation, not Israel.

Last week, with 120 votes in favor, 15 against and 45 abstentions, the United Nations General Assembly passed a shameful resolution calling for a ceasefire and humanitarian corridors in Gaza — without condemning the crimes of Hamas. While four European countries voted against and fifteen abstained (including Germany), France approved a UN General Assembly resolution that makes not even mention of Hamas’s crimes. At the recent European Summit in Brussels, the heads of state and government did not make the call for “humanitarian pauses” conditional on the release of the Israeli and foreign hostages held in Gaza by Hamas.

  1. Tanna, forgive me; but you are talking BS. The US (which has allowed 6.3 million Jews to live here) is clearly the most Jew-tolerant country in the world. If you can’t see that, you are completely blind.

    As you say, If the US has “antisemitic DNA” in its blood, which people on earth, pray tell, do not? Why do you single out the US?

    BTW, the most antisemitic people I know are Jewish. How does your “DNA” theory explain this?

    The Jews are God’s “lost sheep”? If so, I’m sure God will have no trouble finding them. Why blame the gentiles? The Jews where I live, almost to a man, support the Democrats and BLM.

  2. Michael, what I think your missing is that USA like all nations have a certain amount of antisemitic in his national DNA and the ugly is beginning to show. God has to bring his lost sheep home to the land and so it would make sense to me that the countries with the biggest known Jewish/Israeli population is where the trouble starts first.

  3. Steven, you forgot to drink your potion of muriatic acid, to calm you down. Let me just look up some figures here…

    JEWISH POPULATION BY COUNTRY

    Diaspora communities number 8.5 million. After Israel, the United States is home to the second-largest Jewish population, with around 6.3 million. It is followed by France (440,000), Canada (398,000), the UK (312,000), Argentina (171,000), Russia (132,000), Germany (125,000), Australia (117,200) and Brazil (90,000).Sep 16, 2023

    Gosh, Steven! If the US is antisemitic, Jews must be the most stupid people in the world, for going there to live!

  4. Perpetual Western antisemitism includes the US as well, make no mistake. In spite of the OFTEN falsely claimed: “JUDEO-CHRISTIAN” values, repeated ad nauseam. Not different from Islam referring to “The people of the book”! “Ahl al-kit?b”!
    The creation of the UNWRA had only one purpose, preserving the Arabs as “a weapon” against the Jews and Israel in particular.
    The TSS is a variation on the Nazi “Final Solution”. As time flies, this becomes more evident by the seconds.
    The US (Gov) is doing more openly what the EU does behind the scene, using NGOs to finance antisemitism.
    The War against the Jews goes unabated.

  5. to paraphrase old Joe Stalin,
    “It matters not what the E.U. wants or says,
    What matters is what those who own the EU from behind the curtains want.The faces we see & the comments they make are just the mumbling of their political mannequins.Mannequins the public gets to see!
