European human awareness and isolation of aggression …
Recently, a significant transformation of “European human awareness” towards the Palestinian issue has begun to translate into a clear and transparent official positions from an increasing European countries. These positions have revealed a fundamental change in Europe’s view of the Palestinian-Israeli conflict, in which it has deviated from the attitude of traditional neutrality or political balances, approaching a position based on human values and international justice and for the international law called for the long-term calling for Europe.
When one of the European Union’s major countries, France declared to recognize the Palestinian status, recognizes the Palestinian status of more than 147 member states of the United Nations, which recognizes the Palestinian status that represents 75 % of the international community, according to the recent renovations of the Western Staff, not only the recognition, but also the recognition of the recognition, but also the recognition, but also the recognition of the fragment. And suppressing the Palestinians in Jerusalem, the war in Gaza and the life of the Gaza population for more than a decade of shortness of breath.
As far as Spain is concerned, it was not satisfied with the recognition of Palestine, rather than representing Israeli activities in Gaza, and Spain was concerned about the humanitarian situation of Gaza and condemned the Israeli attacks on the civilians. For example, Spain’s Foreign Minister Jose Manuel Alpharis described Israeli attacks as “unacceptable”, and urged the public to violate the international humanitarian law … Spain’s Defense Secretary Margareta described the Roblis Gaza as a “real genocide”, noted that Gaza’s situation cannot be ignored.
These reports and approaches reflect the change of the European discourse towards the Palestinian-Israeli conflict as some European countries have begun to take more clear and obvious positions on Israeli violations in Palestinian territories.
The European discourse calculates the severe violations of the international humanitarian law, especially the Geneva conferences guilty of targeting the public, and imposing duties on state parties that do not overcome any power that violates these agreements.
Despite its sterile history on the British and Palestinian issue, its political positions, especially by the opposition and municipal councils, have increased the voices of Israel’s arms sales, and the continuation of the sale is linked to Britain’s moral and legal responsibility. This debate has taken a high speed within the British civil society, universities and trade unions, while the pressure of the British Street is increasing Israel economically, educated and culturally.
Ireland was not immune to this awareness, but was at the forefront of European countries that showed advanced humanitarian positions towards Palestine. The Irish government has decided to take serious measures to stop the weapons that can be used in Israeli military operations, or the continuation of the military or logistics support for Israel, considering that the Palestinian civilians are a complicity against the Palestinian civilians. It should be noted that Ireland is always one of the most sympathetic European countries with the Palestinian issue, and has already raised its voice on the porceractions of the United Nations to reject the Israeli expansion policies.
These European positions are not isolated from the vast international reality, but in the light of the continued rejection of international legal decisions, in the light of Israel’s expression of the principles of international law and its dedication to international organizations documented by international organizations such as “human rights monitoring” and “Amnesty International”. As the recognition of Palestine’s status is increasing, Israel’s isolation is increasing, and the ability to justify its actions is reduced by a global public opinion, gaining greater awareness and knowledge of the broad media coverage and digital openness that the Palestinians have allowed their daily suffering with sound and image.
The recent Israeli war on Gaza contributed to the acceleration of this awareness, as the massacre, disaster and destination cannot be ignored by the sights of hospitals, schools and shelters, in which the United Nations operates. These crimes are documented with sound and image, embarrassing many Western governments, fearing that they will increase their popular dissatisfaction, especially among young people and educational elite.
Changes found by international corporations such as the International Criminal Court and the increasing demand for the opening of criminal inquiries against Israeli leaders have opened the door to rehabilitate the relationship between Europe and the Middle East, thus not only in security and economic interests, but in a very balanced view of human rights, justice and accountability.
Whenever Europe, with this change, has a political will and popular pressure, it proves that the values of the acceptance are not slogans for local consumption, but also the ground. Recognizing the status of Palestine is a protocol message before politics, and it is a legal message before diplomacy, and accordingly, the occupation cannot be continued forever, and the continuation of the racist separation, settlement and displacement system cannot be accepted without punishment.
If this awareness arrives late, there is a steady direction of the US influence on the US influence in the Security Council, and the freedom, justice and humanitarian issue, return to its place to the Palestinian issue. At a time when some countries urged to support Israel unconditionally, the positions of the European countries that began to change their attitude, not only for the Palestinians, but for all those who believe in the rights of self -determination, refer to a spark of faith and live in dignity and dignity.
