Spanish MEP Irene Montero confronted EU foreign policy chief Kaja Kallas over Israel’s interception of the Gaza-bound flotilla, accusing the EU of staying silent as European citizens were detained in the Mediterranean
Who would have guessed that Spain, from all the EU countries would be so vocal about this. When Ireland did it, it was not a surprise. However, this woman looks fierce. I wonder if they could impose sanctions if they keep doing this.
In the Mormon mythology, at some point in the future, Israel is going to stand alone against most of the world. It's the one part of the Mormon mythology that I find ... disturbingly prophetic. There'll come a time the US even won't support them. They'll piss someone off enough, they surely will.
Not anymore. She was deported to Turkey a few hours ago. I'm surprised they didnt keep her longer. Ireland has been among the more vocal critics of them and they like sending messages to anybody who dares criticise their genocide and war crimes.
It’s absolutely ok that Israel and the US have to take the ire of the world. We do not need to take a side in this for now. As soon as EU is consolidated Isreal will have to change its ways. Until then we are under too heavy of an influence by Zionist media hags.
Yes it is. We're not far from the discourse that was used about jewish people hundred years ago about muslim people by a lot of european right wing politicians, i'm not even joking.
...just because it isn't legal doesn't mean it isn't happening. It absolutely is still happening. There's no other reason Israel is getting away with it everywhere.
True, but ironically when it's in the shadows instead of open, naked corruption, it does become a little harder for those outside the circles of power to keep track of it.
Please point me to the bit where I said it wasn't happening. That was not what the argument was about at all. In the EU for example a lot what is happening legally in the US would be illegal for BOTH the company bribing and the politician receiving the bribe. That means if it is happening it needs to get around all kind of checks in the dark. And that again means, that a tracking website doesn't make any sense, because you can't track a thing that may or may not be happening.
You'd be surprised. Politicians and media with zero gains to make from it will wholeheartedly support Israel purely out of what you might call "cultural obligation". It is simply considered the default position, and opposition to it is considered radical and controversial.
We do not support it. But us Germans will always stopp any far reaching resolution because of our history. The only ppl supporting that are Americans and Israelis.
The only americans that support israel are either getting bought off, or are too stupid and/or indoctrinated to think their way out of a paper bag. I only know 1 person with family in israel, and she says they hate what their country is doing. Pretty small sample size though.
50% voted for trump. Two times. The majority of the US wants all of what Captain Tangerine does. That’s why we have/will have a partition of the west. Real western democracies on one side, the US on the other side.

They’re going to have a hell of a time with that, since most of the world isn’t comprised of crippled women and children

Detained, cuffed and dragged about.

"Well it's Israel, so you smile and turn the other way."
The entire global political situation.

Kaka Kallas is an incompetent idiot nincompoop. She is as much a diplomat as I am an astronaut.
fartharder
This is not the first time either.

Unfortunately, the Pogroms of tomorrow will be instigated by the actions of Israel today.
LibertyNcognito
Israel has been a brutal criminal state long enough.

Though I'm not her N°1 fan, she is very right about this.
DubhIainn
I didn't know of her until this very moment. So I can only speak to what I just saw, and from that it's that I like this woman.

Meanwhile the Irish President’s sister is among the detained

They are not ashamed and they don't care.
NotSomoneElse68
They look very ashamed of their lack of shame in that one isn't if the clip.
DukeofKMS
Why da heck should we be ashamed for something Israel and the US does?
thisisnotfineffs
Try listening again, that's not the point being made even remotely
DukeofKMS
You did that. Own it. We can’t help you.
thisisnotfineffs
Incoherent response

Do other countries have something like trackaipac.com?
KPodol
EU politicians do it for the love of the game, don't need the money to support Israel's supremacist fueled genocide against Arabs.
boxbackknitties
That’s even worse than taking bribes. That’s like…..pure evil.

Andersen81
Nope, I think we just bend over ad take it.
forelle
Other countries typically did not legalize open corruption, so no.
boxbackknitties
Doesn’t make any sense. Someone’s getting paid somehow or somewhere.
Stolf
Just keep it quiet, like all civilized societies.

So you expect a tracking website listing illegal corruption? How is that going to work?
Daliena06
True, but ironically when it's in the shadows instead of open, naked corruption, it does become a little harder for those outside the circles of power to keep track of it.

We have universal healthcare and state pensions, so obviously there are differences.

We have no pacs here cuz it’s forbidden or harshly regulated for a company or organisation to fun parties or campaigns.

Someone is getting paid in some way shape or form. Supporting genocide and atrocity for the laughs doesn’t make any sense.
