Germany has moved to block a European Commission proposal that would have suspended “Israel’s” access to certain EU research funds, underscoring deep divisions within the bloc over how to respond to the war on Gaza.
The Commission’s plan centered on Horizon Europe, the EU’s flagship research program. Brussels sought to exclude “Israel” from startup-oriented funding streams tied to drones, cybersecurity, and artificial intelligence, technologies that could bolster military capabilities.
The proposal was designed as leverage to pressure Tel Aviv into easing restrictions on humanitarian aid deliveries.
Germany needs to quit this insane protection from Israel, I get the national guilt, but this is just setting them up for being even more complicit!
Germany not being on the genocidal side of history challenge level: Impossible
it’s not national guilt. they’ve just figured out that there’s a group of semitic people they’re allowed to exterminate, and that’s the sort of stuff they like.
