(TR) European citizens kidnapped in the Mediterranean first. Mistreated, beaten, humiliated afterwards. If it were Russia, Europe would be on high alert. But it's Israel. So we minimize, we talk about an isolated minister, we maintain the partnership with the aggressor state.

Europe's militarisation drive will guarantee neither peace and security nor economic prosperity. Alternatives exist, but Europe needs to change. Watch the full version of my @euronews The Ring debate opposing Lukas Mandl (EPP) ⤵️ https://t.co/rbaQu9Szup #Europe #Militarisation #Peace #EU #AT

RT @trtworld: Are EU sanctions on violent settlers enough? A prominent member of the European Parliament, Marc Botenga, joins Ghida Fakhr… #EUSanctions #ViolentSettlers #HumanRights #EU #BE

(TR) The images of Ben Gvir exulting in front of the humiliation of the Flotilla activists are the facade of a criminal system: arbitrary detentions, systematic torture, normalized rapes. The daily hell of thousands of Palestinian prisoners, away from the cameras. #SanctionIsrael

The EU has no Middle East strategy because *checks notes* there's too much going on in the Middle East. You can't make this up. This is the EU foreign policy chief. In 2026. https://t.co/eZF6f3e1ZA #EU #MiddleEast #ForeignPolicy #EU #MiddleEast

Those in the European Parliament who are the first to give lectures on democracy just uncritically applauded a delegation from the UAE that has neither real elections, nor a legislative parliament, and is accused of sponsoring the worst war crimes. Shocking double standards ⤵️ https://t.co/aqnUFXSiQT #DoubleStandards #Democracy #UAE #EU #AE

(TR) The clause allowing for a suspension in case of a violation of territorial integrity has been removed. The threats against Greenland and Spain have been forgotten. This text embodies submission to Trump, the abandonment of our socio-economic interests. It must be rejected in the final vote. 3/3

(TR) Commercial agreement with the US, the Parliament negotiators are giving in. At first, we accepted 15% tariffs on European industrial products compared to often 0% for those from the US. A shame. Now the automatic guarantee mechanisms are disappearing ⤵️ 1/3

(TR) Israeli cameras in our cities, spy software used against European journalists (Pegasus, Graphite), suspicions of interference in French elections (BlackCore), and an open door to the billionaire clique of Palantir in our services … Let's change the model.

RT @Left_EU: The Left called for a debate "Israel’s airstrikes in Lebanon, the urgent need to uphold the ceasefire & EU’s responsibility to… #Israel #Lebanon #Ceasefire #IL #LB #EU

(TR) "There will be nothing left of Iran."

(TR) Under pressure, the EU sanctions organizations of settlers, but not the Israeli state that supports them. Targeting the parts to protect the machine is not justice, but a smokescreen. And by the way, Europe thereby de facto legitimizes what Israel is doing in Gaza and Lebanon.
