Israeli arms firms, such as Rafael, and the Israeli defence ministry remain eligible for the EU’s ‘Horizon’ science-programme grant
Von der Leyen’s proposed trade sanctions could be adopted by a qualified majority of EU countries, but Germany and Italy were among those who blocked them, even at the height of the Gaza war.
My dear, if you read my comment you would know I don’t deny that Jews who survived the Holocaust in Europe were Westerners. They simply don’t make up the majority of the population in Israel. Most Israelis are middle eastern of Middle eastern descent, even if you count the descendants of the European migrants as western… which is a bit silly since they’re born and raised in Israel for a few generations in the meantime.
So yeah, it’s quite ignorant and quite racist to suggest that Israel is run by western migrants.
