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

    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.

      Ah yeah, I remember the Hungary thing too so also, it’ll be a veto.
