We likewise condemn those political powers who have not tried to prevent this — first of all, the United States, a direct accomplice of the Israeli genocide of the Palestinian population and also the European Union, for not suspending its preferential Association Agreement with Israel.
This could have been a crucial step, making a deep impact on the Israeli rulers and possibly prompting them to rethink their next steps.

The failure to act by the EU to prevent genocide is a political and humanitarian disgrace that will tarnish the reputation of the EU forever.
The European Left will continue the struggle for the national and other rights of the Palestinian people. We join with the huge global popular movement defending these rights.
In solidarity with the Palestinian people!
