European leaders are preoccupied with imposing sanctions on Israel and accusing it of responsibility for events in Gaza, despite escalating internal unrest and riots in their own streets, according to Yossi Ahimeir. He criticizes this "European hypocrisy," pointing to the continent's imperial past and urging Israel not to yield to political pressure. The article contends that European nations, including France, Spain, Belgium, England, Ireland, and the Netherlands, are focusing on alleged "genocide" in Gaza, while their own cities are experiencing riots reminiscent of the Intifada, with protesters displaying symbols of support for Hamas. The author questions the sincerity of European leaders' condolences for the October 7th attacks, citing the Dutch Prime Minister's statement that "tens of thousands of innocent Palestinians have been killed by the Israeli army since the Hamas attack." The piece attributes Europe's stance to underlying antisemitism, anti-Israel sentiment, envy of Israel's achievements, and an attempt to deflect from domestic issues, exacerbated by immigration and "Arab propaganda." The author contrasts Europe's former imperial powers, which maintain control over distant territories like the Falkland Islands and Caribbean islands, with their demand for a Palestinian state, arguing that this is a veiled attempt to destroy Israel. The article asserts that Hamas, not Israel, is responsible for the "genocide" in Gaza and the suffering of its people, highlighting Hamas's preparations for October 7th and its subsequent actions. It criticizes the notion of innocent civilians in Gaza and suggests they should consider emigration. The piece also revisits historical grievances with the Netherlands, linking its past complicity with the Nazis to its current sanctions against Israel. Foreign Minister Gideon Saar is praised for his firm responses to these sanctions and statements, with the article questioning whether a change in government in Spain or France would improve their relations with Israel. The author concludes that Israel is strong enough to withstand both terrorist organizations and the "lies" propagated from afar, viewing the anti-Israel campaign as part of the "decline of the West."
