The European Commission said on Monday it was putting all its development aid to Palestinians, worth 691 million euros ($729 million), under review and immediately suspending all payments following Hamas' attack on Israel.

"The scale of terror and brutality against Israel and its people is a turning point," Oliver Varhelyi, the European Commissioner for Neighbourhood and Enlargement, said in a post on social media. "There can be no business as usual."

Hamas militants killed 700 Israelis and abducted dozens in the deadliest such incursion since the Yom Kippur war 50 years ago, prompting Israel to retaliate with its heaviest ever bombardment of Gaza, which has killed more than 400 people.

The EU should be ashamed of how incredibly hypocritical its diplomacy and foreign policy is showing itself to be in the last few months of international events.

It's been like that for far longer but now it's harder for people not to realize how low is to do all this grandstanding about evil Hamas killing those poor Israeli civilians while looking the other way and letting Azerbaijan do just whatever the fuck they want in Nagorno-Karabakh because we so desperately need their gas.
Where was all this “the scale of terror and brutality makes it so there can be no business as usual” energy then? Are we going to start calling Armenians terrorists in order to justify that one too?

Europe has deciduous morals with a shelf life of half a Truss.
