Full text: The EU has corroborated UN allegations that Israel was guilty of "indiscriminate attacks ... starvation ... torture ... [and] apartheid" against Palestinians in a leaked "review".
Israel threw the west a real curve ball doing a completely unapologetic genocide without even trying to hide it. All the moral posturing that we saw over the past three years in Ukraine is now crumbling in the face of such blatant hypocrisy.
