I wonder what “Irish American Zionist” Joe Biden thinks of this?

    Germany keeps on sucking Netanyahu’s dick and will always block any concerted action at the EU level.

      I’m not familiar with how the EU actually works, does each country get a veto for things like sanctions? Because Germany might just get outvoted if Israel keeps going down this line.

        In some things there is veto power and in some a majority vote (by states and by population) suffices.

        Whilst I do not know for certain in which category Sanctions fall, I would expect that given the implications at a geostrategical and trade level of them there’s a veto power there. Also I vaguelly remember Hungary blocking sanctions against Russia coordinates at the EU level and countries having to go around it and organising their own sanctions, which would mean it’s a vote were there is a veto.

        Even beyond that, German is certain to lobby and even bully (were it can) other EU countries so that they don’t sanction Israel.
