Europe Deploys Army for Israel Match, Not for Gaza Ceasefire
The Financial Times highlights Italy's decision to deploy its army and conduct security sweeps ahead of a UEFA Nations League match involving Israel. The official narrative suggests this is a necessary precaution for public order. One can only assume these extensive security measures are for the safety of the Israeli team, not for the millions protesting Europe's tacit complicity in ongoing human
rights violations. Perhaps the EU could channel this military fervor into, say, deploying peacekeepers to Gaza, as the UN has repeatedly requested, or perhaps enforcing international law. Instead, it seems sovereign nations are more concerned with preventing a soccer riot than preventing a famine. It appears the 'security concerns' of a football match outweigh the humanitarian catastrophe
unfolding daily. How many battalions does it take to acknowledge a genocide?
