The European Union has condemned the Zionist regime in a strongly worded statement after 54 Gazans were killed in the highest death toll of a single day since the year 2000. The EU joined the UN Secretary General in stating that Israel’s attacks were excessive and “contrary to international law”. Of course, as with all condemnations of Israeli ethnic cleansing, the EU also felt it necessary condemn Palestinian rocket fire as well, which is a legitimate act of resistance against an occupying force. The EU “reiterates condemnation of continued firing of rockets into Israeli territory and calls for its immediate end.”

“The (EU) Presidency condemns the recent disproportionate use of force by the Israeli defense forces against (the) Palestinian population in Gaza and urges Israel to exercise maximum restraint and refrain from all activities that endanger civilians. Such activities are contrary to international law,” said the statement. “The Presidency rejects collective punishment of the people of Gaza. We are deeply worried about the suffering of the civilian population on (the) Israeli and Palestinian side,” the EU added. “We have stated too many times that both Israelis and Palestinians deserve to live in peace and security.”
