Israel Between the Jaws of a Mill

Israel's deception of European countries and the lies it employs in the media it broadcasts to those countries, claiming that the land inhabited by the Jews is the Promised Land, and that the Palestinians are merely Arab inhabitants seeking to strip them of their Jewish identity.
Because most of those countries have a mental makeup problem, namely the persecution of Jews since ancient times...and all the crimes committed by the Zionist army against defenseless civilians and children are in defense of existence. Since Operation Flood of Al-Aqsa, European support has reached its peak at all levels. They support the Israeli existence and the defense of its land, as they claim. This support has not ceased to this day due to the Zionist media fabrications, lies, and various stories broadcast to delude the European continent into believing that they are in a state of defense of existence.
Quite simply, Gaza was lost and reduced to rubble, with more than 25,000 martyrs and thousands more injured, hungry, and disabled. All this was applauded by Europe, which embraces all the ideas promoted by the Hebrew media in Europe day and night to gain positions and endless support. This was in the complete absence of international and humanitarian law, international conventions, and treaties.
But a surprise recently occurred: the European conscience began to awaken slightly from its deep slumber and accepted the proposal of Spain and Ireland in 2024 and to consider the European partnership with Israel.
This stems from the refutation of the position of the Israeli government and its far-right Prime Minister Netanyahu regarding US President Donald Trump's recent moves in the Middle East, the negotiations with Iran to halt its nuclear program, Trump's choice to play it alone, far from Israel, his agreement with the Houthis in Yemen, the cessation of airstrikes on Yemen, and the exclusion of Israeli ships from the agreement. Netanyahu felt anger and disappointment, and that Trump only cares about America's interests, even at Israel's expense. Matters worsened when Trump visited the Gulf last month, ignoring a visit to Israel. The situation then escalated with the establishment of mechanisms and a negotiating line directly with Hamas to secure the release of an American prisoner without any reference to Israel.
Europe is following Trump's ideology directly, but this time it has adopted an independent approach, not subservient to the US position all along. It has a different stance on events in the Middle East and Ukraine, and is committed to European economic security.
Europe's pent-up anger is searching for an outlet to explode from Israeli practices. We have seen France, Britain, and Canada in particular summon Israeli ambassadors, suspend talks on a free trade zone with Britain, and demand and condemn the cessation of displacement, genocide, and starvation in Gaza, and open the door to humanitarian aid.
Israel's response, unfortunately, was the Gideon Armored Vehicles, an operation designed to end its plan to completely occupy Gaza, divide it, and tighten security control over it. It has thrown all European opinion, unable to ignore humanitarian and civil society organizations working in international relief, universities, and school students denouncing Israeli massacres, and bringing this matter to the International Court of Justice or the International Criminal Court. All of this has put pressure on Europe.
Because the world is now governed by the logic of the jungle and double standards, Europe's position will become difficult if it does so, harming its position on the Russian-Ukrainian war. It has found it necessary to unify its position and change its direction. This has placed the entity under isolation and boycotts in various popular spheres, halting conferences and research activities, and closing some Israeli-affiliated companies. This clear and explicit threat from the European Union will have a profound impact due to Israel's violations of human rights.
Israel may even lose trade relations with the European Union, which accounts for more than 30 percent of Israel's international trade.
The situation is exacerbated in the practical field, including satellites and the requirements of scientific advancements in the field of computers and globalization. The issue of a European review and the suspension of the partnership between the 27 member states represented by the European Union and the practical suspension of their partnership with Israel seems a remote possibility, as it requires the unanimity of all member states. However, the good thing about what is happening is that there are more than 15 member states capable of halting trade with Israel, even if the decision is opposed by Germany and Hungary, with their significant influence.
But in the end, it appears that all this opposition and skirmishes are nothing more than a purely political exercise to appease European public opinion, which has recently awakened and begun to grieve.
Despite all this, the Jewish lobby abroad will not allow any resolution to emerge that opposes and undermines Israel's path of killing, destruction, and displacement. Therefore, Israel pretended to accept the pressure and allowed the entry of some food, relief supplies, and trucks, which do not meet the needs of Gaza, which is crying out for refuge. Unfortunately, this aid was used as a political bargaining chip and a weapon for Israel in a war that will only end by a miracle. Then the Zionist entity resumes broadcasting to the European media that they do not understand the gravity of the security situation and that the people of Israel are threatened by the Arabs, thus allowing its actions to go unpunished, dissolving partnerships, terminating trade agreements, and stripping it of its international immunity. Let us see what the outcome of the two-state solution conference this month at the United Nations, under French and Saudi sponsorship, will be, and what recommendations it may ultimately unravel. Then Israel resumes broadcasting to the European media to stop European decisions, using the old priesthood of anti-Semitism and its influence on European commercial, political, economic, social, and even humanitarian decision-makers. Israel will not abandon its old dream of extending the Nile to the Euphrates and its project of regional expansion in Lebanon, Syria, and all the countries of the Arab region. It will maintain a state of no war, no peace, and insecurity, which will make all the countries of the region aware that future expansionism will not stop as long as the United States and the European Union take a position of objection at times and rejection at other times, to silence the peoples of the world.
