Speaking at a press conference in Singapore ahead of the Shangri-La Dialogue security conference, French President Emmanuel Macron said that recognising a Palestinian state was a moral duty as well as a political necessity. Macron called on European countries to harden their stance on Israel unless the humanitarian crisis in the ravaged Gaza Strip improved.

This is all too little too fucking late. Put your money where your mouth is and actually try and stop the active genocide

Has he:

Imposed sweeping sanctions on the zionist regime?

Banned all weapons exports to Zionists?

Arrested zionist war criminals?

Banned zionist hate speech?

Joined South Africa’s anti-genocide case at the ICJ?

Has he done anything at all to oppose the genocide or is this just a disingenuous attempt to calm domestic opposition to the genocide with empty phrases?

    Yes. Since I am also the head of state of a sovereign country I have of course done all of these things myself first so people online will not call me a hypocrite.

    I, personally, have sanctioned Israel, and am seeking to join the South African case at the ICJ.

  He did try at least one of those politico.eu/…/emmanuel-macron-france-backlash-cal…. It’s not much, but more than 99% of the world.

  They actually join in the opposition of it.
