EU backpedals on announced aid cut to Palestinians
Times of Israel ^ | October 9, 2023 | JACOB MAGID

Posted on 10/10/2023 6:21:27 AM PDT by ConservativeInPA

A senior European source tells The Times of Israel that the decision announced earlier today by European Union Commissioner Oliver Varhelyi to immediately sever all EU aid to the Palestinians will not be implemented, due to opposition from member states.

Varhelyi is a diplomat from Hungary, which takes a much more hawkish approach toward the Israeli-Palestinian conflict than many of the 27 other members of the EU.

The senior European source speculates that Varhelyi’s decision will be walked back tomorrow when the EU’s foreign policy chief Josep Borell meets with European foreign ministers.

They can “backpedal” EU exports destined to the US back to European ports.

Americans have been attacked and killed. NATO countries in the EU have treaty obligations.

So, they support Hamas? I don’t see how they can reasonably separate them from any aid.

Of course they do. What happens when you allow millions of low IQ Muslims into your countries?
Now they have to be neutral so their savage immigrants don’t chimp out.

We need to declare war on Hamas and then ban any commerce from countries giving Hamas direct or indirect aid.

Your interpretation of NATO responsibilities is incorrect.

No wonder they love their Ukraine war. Neo-fascism is alive and well in Europe. Now Klaus’s popularity makes a lot of sense.... Just don’t understand it in Oz and the US.

You guys are still out of control.

The Palestinians and Hamas are not the same thing.

The US sends 100s of millions of dollars to Iraq, which itself is loaded with all sorts of factions doing things we don’t like, but they do not define Iraq.

We even send $800 million a year to Yemen.

Much of aid sent to anyone by anyone is a bribe to keep them out of the influence sphere of someone else.

The EruoNazi regime is the 4th Reich. Full of Nazis. Disgustingly evil. The good honest people are simply outnumbered and suppressed by the agents of Satan ruling the roost. It, with the UnitedNazis together, should be shut down yesterday.

They can take the EU’s blood money out of the Ukraine budget!

In Gaza they are. They were voted into power for the government there in 2006 and been in charge ever since.

Exactly, they are Hamas. This shows no matter how bad the atrocities are the EU will keep funding the terrorists and a bunch of US rats are right there with them

The Europeans are born collaborators(kindred souls to their Vichy Republican establishment brothers) and more than likely Hamas threatened them with terrorism from their new immigrant arrivals.

In a matter of days the Europeans will be calling on Israel to accept a cease fire.

any country giving a PENNY to the terrorists needs to be kicked out of NATO and sanctions applied to them

Which is just one example of why the members of the EU have to end any EU role outside of a mere European free market - taking the EU out of any foreign policy, immigration policy, foreign aid policy, domectic non-market related policy roles of any kind.

Terrorist attacks in Munich and Entebbe were done by Germans w connections to the Red Army Faction.
Antifa began in Germany and is a spin off of RAF.
