This a very racist, idiotic EU message

1. Praises Land Thieves, Child Killers

Ursula v. d. Leyen representing the EU elites praises land thieves, child killers and agents of incremental genocide!

Now it’s not enough for the EU to be silent about the 1000s of daily abuses, the harrassment, the many killings and the structural, intentional cruelty by the Israel colonialist settler regime against the original people of Palestine, the Palestinians, but now the EU, Germany and other racists have to sing praises to the racist entity of the Zionists, which by the way does not represent the Jews.

This shows that the EU elites see themselves in need to double down on their support of Israel, no matter what. They feel forced to do it because the resistance against Zionism is increasing all over the world and that the truth of the matter – about the Israel state policies (continuing the Nakba) – is getting more apparent.

2. Response to her speech by Jehad Abusalim جهاد أبو سليم @JehadAbusalim, 2023-04-26

Let’s break down this repulsive message from Ursula von der Leyen, word by word.

1. Israel did not achieve "independence" in 1948. What occurred was a deliberate campaign of ethnic cleansing and displacement of Palestinians, aimed at re-engineering the demographics and geography of Palestine from an Arab-majority nation to a Jewish-majority one.

2. Palestinians refer to the process of ethnic cleansing and displacement by Israel in 1948 as the "Nakba." Today, this continues through land seizure, settlement, and colonization, with explicit threats of a second Nakba from Israeli leaders.

3. Ursula von der Leyen calls the Holocaust the greatest tragedy in history but fails to mention who committed it and where. She also neglects to acknowledge how European racism and violence, alongside colonial attitudes towards minorities, enabled the Holocaust.

4. Ursula von der Leyen talks about ‘the promised land’ like it’s a real estate deal. When did Europeans start believing in fairy tales again? We were told Europeans were all about reason and rationality. But I guess if colonialism and imperialism are involved, any excuse will do.

5. Ursula von der Leyen claims the EU celebrates 75 years of vibrant democracy in the Middle East. Really? Millions of people controlled by the Israeli state can’t even vote, while the state itself consolidates power and overhauls laws. What a vibrant mess!

6. You have ‘literally made the desert bloom’? Spare us the colonial rhetoric! It’s like Lord Balfour himself is speaking. Europe’s attitude towards the ‘Orient’ remains unchanged. Even Israeli historians have exposed these myths, but the power of racism prevails.

7. Von der Leyen’s talk of "75 years of friendship" is laughable. She speaks of shared culture and values, but as a Palestinian scholar pointed out, Europe only accepts Jews as Europeans if they leave Europe. Von der Leyen’s statement reflects this, even if she’s not aware of it.
