- JumpCrisscross 1y ago> whole EU is debating putting sanctions on Israel Not really. It's debating applying "tariffs on some Israeli goods and impos[ing] sanctions on Israeli settlers, and two members of Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s Cabinet" [1]. (The EC has also endorsed Trump's 20-point plan [2].)

- sgjohnson 1y agoEh. Just about everyone is doing the absolute best they can to give an impression that they are doing something about it, without actually doing anything meaningful at all. Even the recent recognition of the Palestinian state from Canada, UK and France. They know full and well that it’s basically a meaningless gesture.
