Data compiled by Statewatch shows that public institutions in the EU hold hundreds of contracts with Israeli companies worth almost €2.7 billion. EU trade sanctions or widespread boycotts in the public sector could have a substantial negative impact on Israel’s economy and its ability to wage war. Yet, so far, the EU has taken no meaningful action.
Why? He created nearly a century of bulletproof exceptionalism over which the state of Israel was founded in the first place.
I mean he’s arguably the person most responsible of how modern day Israel came to be and how it behaves.
