Nobody said Russia created MAGA. The issue is they exploited it, just like fascists always ride existing crises. You admit the groundwork was there, yet dismiss that Kremlin bots supercharged it with targeted disinfo.

If you simply think: "Capitalism causes crises, so foreign meddling doesn’t matter." Fine. Then corporate lobbying doesn’t matter either, since capitalism exists first. Or is it only Russian influence you’re okay ignoring? #DoubleStandards

Through the #European Innovation Council (#EIC), a body of the European Commission created to promote scientific and technological excellence, "#Israel" receives millions of euros that directly fuel its industry of #war and #genocide.

#Drone technologies, #surveillance systems, and artificial intelligence programs applied to population control continue to receive European financial support. These are not “neutral innovations”: they are integral components of the genocidal machinery devastating #Gaza.

When Russia invaded Ukraine, the #EU suspended all scientific and technological cooperation, imposed sanctions, and politically isolated Moscow.

When "Israel' destroys Gaza and accumulates accusations of war crimes, crimes against humanity, and genocide, with an international arrest warrant against Prime Minister Netanyahu issued by the International Criminal Court, Brussels maintains and strengthens its cooperation, transferring public funds that end up in Israeli military-industrial companies.

An intolerable double standard: in #Ukraine, international law is invoked to sanction #Russia; in #Palestine, it is trampled to protect "Israel".

...Every euro flowing from Brussels to Tel Aviv becomes active complicity in genocide.

@Mendie_Taoma having a dedicated voice or style in certain situations is masking. NTs just call it "being professional", because their unmasked self is not being bullied.

Lest we forget:

As historian AJP Taylor wryly remarked, the BBC’s first Director General [Baron John] Reith had "managed to preserve the technical #independence of the BBC by suppressing news which the government did not want published. This set a pattern for the future: the vaunted independence of the BBC was secure so long as it was NOT exercised."

[Thread about the role of #EU on #GazaGenocide]

Slovenia’s top diplomat warned the European Union risked projecting a double standard if it failed to take Israel to task for the bloodshed in the #Gaza Strip even as it moves ahead with additional sanctions against #Russia.

Foreign Minister Tanja Fajon accused Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s government of violating international law and committing “clear genocidal acts” and said that the #EU had failed to impose a “single real measure” against #Israel.

#Slovenia has sought to take a lead among #EU states in criticizing the spiraling toll. The country became the first member to ban all weapons trade with Israel at the end of July, weeks after it declared two Israeli cabinet members personae non gratae. It followed the measures with a ban on the trade of goods from occupied #Palestinian territories.

Fajon, a member of the EP from 2009 to 2022, said she pushed for an EU response on Gaza after a review of Israel’s cooperation agreement showed “clear” violations of international law, but member states deadlocked on reaching an agreement for taking action.

There is a sense “the whole international community failed a test of humanity,” she said.
