  To clarify, they cover the facts of the matter in a very abstract, passive way - they’ll say that Lebanon is being struck by Israeli missiles and that IDF forces are telling people to leave their homes, but no one will even come close to suggesting that what’s happening is ethnic cleansing.

    Which is, in all honesty, the correct way to cover news reports.

    Sanction Israel for genocide for a start. Cut off diplomatic economic educational and financial ties with them. Like the world did with South Africa.

    But Europe doesn’t give a fuck about genocide unless it’s on their soil.

        Fair. But if any bloc in the world can do it it’s the European Union. But their members don’t give a shit otherwise they would have by now.

        The fact is no one in Europe cares about it. Years, decades, of weasel words and inaction. Years of illegal occupation and ifnoryof UN mandates. Years of on going genocide. But the people dying aren’t white Europeans… oh well too bad for them I suppose?

    There are European nations that send a lot of money to Israel every year. Maybe they can stop doing that?

    Believe it or not, all people would have to do to stop the government is as simple as stop watching netflix or buying from amazon: the market would panic and so would the government.

    Yes. That is the solution.

  The problem is that nobody cares in Europe to do anything.

  Many do care but can’t do much about it. Decades of government and capitalism propaganda have empowered authorities beyond control and have make it hard for people to do something outside their work.
