Gaza
Does Israel have that much sway over Europe? The Germans are perhaps still motivated by guilt over the Holocaust, to the extent that they're willing to look the other way while another one is being committed. Makes sense, right? ๐คฆ Pure insanity.
It's not so much that Isreal does, but for all intents and purposes Israel = America. It's our colonial outpost in the Middle East, an "unsinkable aircraft carrier", and as Joe Biden said, "if Isreal didn't exist, we would have to invent it". And as much as Europeans don't want to believe it, most European countries are American vassal states. Look at the pictures of all of your leaders gravelling at Trump's feet and literally calling him "Daddy".
Gaza is only the beginning. They are also preparing for mass unrest at home as standards of living worsen. Just this week the German chancellor said Germany "can no longer afford the welfare state", meanwhile they are spending record amounts on arms. They are preparing for millions of climate refugees at their borders.
You should expect and prepare for a lot more Gazas all over the world in the future. Your leaders are.
