Last Tuesday, the European Commission proposed to partially suspend Israel from its €80bn Horizon science research programme, citing the “severe” humanitarian crisis in Gaza. But this proposal comes late, after years of funding military-linked research with minimal transparency or accountability. As the death toll mounts and Gazans face man-made famine, the EU’s role in bankrolling violence is under scrutiny.
Just look where the message comes from. OP’s intention is to let Europe and Western democracies look bad. The somewhat ironic bit is that there would be enough reason for legitimate critique, though the propaganda accounts only look at the clickbait-like title, often.even followed by just a few short paragraphs (and I’m wondering whether OP even reads these few lines tbh).
so you’re saying there’s only propaganda accounts posting on Europe?
well, that’s a shame…
No, I’m saying that there are a few accounts that are spreading only for propaganda purpose. These are often the same accounts that are intentionally misunderstand comments, btw.
Yet most blatant are the ones lacking any sort of self awareness.
Uh… again, your Europe and Western democracies are literally funding a genocide. You’re Israel’s biggest trade partner, still have a preferential trade agreement with them after almost two years of genocide and you think you don’t already look bad? And that’s before we even get into all the other crimes against humanity Europe has assisted or quietly observed in the past few decades.
