If their support for Joe’s war in Ukraine wasn’t bad enough: Ursula ‘Hairspray’ von der Leyen and her cohorts show up again. Hamas is an organisation of barbaric murderers and the Green Party support for it speaks for itself — but the Netanyahu government isn’t much better.

US Secretary of State Antony Blinken and European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen both traveled to Tel Aviv to symbolically back the far-right Netanyahu government.

The Financial Times reported that some EU officials are concerned “that the European Commission president could look as if she is endorsing military actions that will cause mass civilian casualties — and that will swiftly be labelled as war crimes”.

An unnamed EU diplomat told the Times, “We may be about to see massive ethnic cleansing” — a clear indication that Western capitals know exactly what Israel is doing.

“Our fear is that we’ll pay a heavy price in the global south because of this conflict”, an anonymous EU official confessed to the newspaper.’

Ursula von der Leyen, President of the European Union, and Roberta Metsola, President of the Union’s Parliament. visited Tel Aviv “to express our solidarity with the Israeli people after the terrible terrorist attack by Hamas,” Von der Leyen wrote on the social networking site X’, as reported in EuroNews. (11)

The European Union heads came and spoke in the same hours that Israel was bombing civilians and preparing for its Government’s further lunacy of driving more than one millions Palestinians into Egypt’s desert. They spoke as Palestinian civilians suffer a forced migration far worse than Cherokees on their ‘Trail of Tears’ and Irish in their fleeing of Famine as a pretext for another century’s ‘ethnic cleansing’—a forced migration even worse than Jews, Roma, Catholics, Communists on Nazi freight-cars, as even those civilians were not bombed and killed at random.

Let me advise that that Von der Leyen and Metsola were both featured at recent Annual Meetings of the World Economic Forum.
