EU's continued support to Palestine inexplicable after terrorist attack

A spiral of violence threatening not only Israel but also world peace could easily develop.

Rafah, 2023. október 12. Izraeli légitámadások után kiköltöznek lakásukból palesztinok a Gázai övezet déli részén fekvõ rafahi menekülttáborban 2023. október 12-én. A Gázai övezetet irányító Hamász palesztin iszlamista szervezet október 7-én többfrontos támadást indított Izrael ellen, több mint 1200 izraeli életét vesztette, a Hamász elleni izraeli válaszcsapások közel 1200 ember halálát okozták a Gázai övezetben.

Zoltan Lomnici Jr agreed with Mr Schiffer's point, saying that 

Israel has the right to self-defense and Palestine to self-determination, and that poverty can be the breeding ground for radicalism in the region.

The constitutional lawyer recalled that a week before the conflict, articles criticizing US policy towards Israel appeared in the Israeli press. He also pointed out that the European Union and some member states had supported Palestine.

These funds indirectly reach Hamas,

he said.

"The cooperation between Saudi Arabia and Israel has started, which has caught the eye of many Muslim states. There was a very deep domestic political crisis in Israel, which has spilled over into the military," summarized host Lanczi, who also said there was no reasonable explanation why the EU was continuing to provide support to Palestine following the terrorist attacks, when previous aid had been used to procure rockets and weapons.

According to Jozsef Horvath, it must have taken many months of organizing to execute Saturday's terrorist attack, and there are many strange elements to this tragic event. "Anyone who has been in the military knows that no unit is too small to have watch guards posted at night," the security expert explained in connection with the massacre of Israeli army units stationed near the Gaza Strip.

The Israeli armed forces were slow to react after the attack,

he added.

Tamas Lanczi recalled that not only Jewish Israeli citizens were massacred, but also Western Europeans who went there to party at a music festival. In his opinion, Western European countries should condemn the demonstrations praising terror and speak out on behalf of their own citizens who fell victim to it.

Andras Schiffer concluded that

a spiral of violence is in the making, that will threaten not only Arabs and Israelis but also world peace.
