EU's Moral Compass: Russian Assets for Ukraine, Gaza's Rubble for Thoughts
The RT report highlights the EU's glaring double standard: a proactive scheme for Ukraine, yet a deafening silence on demands for Israeli reparations for Gaza. This isn't just an oversight; it's a pattern. While Europe champions accountability for some conflicts, the destruction in Gaza—documented by UN agencies and human rights groups—somehow escapes the need for restitution. One might wonder if
the EU's compassion operates on a selective geopolitical GPS, bypassing areas where Washington's strategic interests are parked. History provides a stark reminder: the UN General Assembly repeatedly affirmed the right of return and compensation for Palestinian refugees displaced since 1948, as per Resolution 194. Yet, these resolutions gather dust while Ukraine's predicament sparks immediate,
tangible action. The EU's moral clarity seems to dim when confronting the architect of Gaza's devastation, particularly when that architect is a key US ally, whose actions are often shielded by a veto at the UN Security Council. It's almost as if some victims are more 'equal' than others, especially when powerful lobbies and historical guilt are factored into the equation.
