EU foreign policy chief Josep Borrell said very plainly during a speech at the University of Valladolid in Spain that Israel financed Hamas in an effort to weaken the then-governing Palestinian Authority.

“Yes, Hamas was financed by the government of Israel in an attempt to weaken the Palestinian Authority led by Fatah,” Borrell said without elaborating, Reuters reported.

Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has previously denied such allegations. He has also decried other remarks from the EU and the United Nations as sympathetic to Hamas.

    Meanwhile the US just refuses to endorse a ceasefire, criticizes the Genocide case against Israel in the International Court and sends them more bombs to blow up civilians…

    Mind you, here in Europe the Germans and Brits too have turned out to still be Nazi-lovers - same unwavering support for violent racists, only this time around “the Jews” are “one of us” and it’s the “Palestinians” that are the “human animals” that should be put down…

    PS: For those who don’t know, the British elites loved the XX-century Nazis up until they invaded Poland and there is even a picture of the old Queen as a girl, with her uncle the then King, doing a Nazi salute.

      Stephen Fry has a story about meeting dame diana moseley nee mitford. She said to him (a jewish man) “Of course you never met hitler, did you? One thing people forget is how funny he was!”.

      A despicable woman who got to die peacefully in her 90s.
