Spanish Official Warns That The EU May Become Complicit In GENOCIDE
by Mac Slavo | Oct 30, 2023 | Headline News |
Spanish Social Rights Minister Ione Belarra has suggested that the
European Union could very well become complicit in genocide. Belarra has
also urged European leaders to take immediate action against Israel,
including severing diplomatic ties and imposing economic sanctions.
The Israeli Defense Forces escalated air and ground attacks on Gaza
on Friday, causing a near-total communication blackout. Connectivity was
partially restored over the weekend, but the Israeli blockade of Gaza
continues; Netanyahu announced the “second stage” of the war against
Hamas on Saturday.
Israel is “Expanding” Its Ground Invasion of Gaza
Belarra suggested cutting Israel off amid the intensified bombing and
expanded ground operations against Hamas militants in the besieged
Palestinian enclave. She has also called for Israeli Prime Minister
Benjamin Netanyahu to be prosecuted for the alleged war crimes committed
against civilians in Gaza, according to a report by RT.
“After this hellish night in Gaza, I have a very simple but very
important message for European leaders. Do not make us complicit in
genocide. Act. Not in our name,” Belarra said in a passionate video
message on X (formerly Twitter) on Saturday.
Balera claims that Israel has been conducting a disproportionate
retaliation to the terrorist attack on October 7th. The minister
highlighted the termination of internet and telephone services in the
strip, claiming that the move “has a very clear objective” of
guaranteeing that “Israel commits crimes against humanity without
consequences.”
“Our inaction is turning us into accomplices,” the minister stressed,
arguing that “Israel believes that its international alliances
guarantee its impunity.”
“We have to act now, tomorrow will be too late,” she continued, voicing her message to the EU leaders: “Cut
diplomatic relations with the State of Israel. Carry out exemplary
economic sanctions against those responsible for this genocide.
And without a doubt, let’s take Netanyahu before the International
Criminal Court so that he can be tried for what he is, a war criminal.”
The death toll because of this war is beginning to be noteworthy. More
than 8,000 Palestinians, including 3,342 children, have been killed in
Gaza since Israel’s air campaign began, according to the latest figures
from the Gaza Health Ministry. The unprecedented Hamas raid into Israel,
as well as hundreds of rocket strikes on Israeli territory earlier this
month, left around 1,400 people dead, while 230 Israelis and foreigners
were taken hostage, according to the Israel Defense Forces (IDF).
