re: EU vs. Israel
@elilla I don't know what (if anything) was the turning point, but what I *do* know is that the stated reasons definitely aren't it, and only serve a single purpose: the politicians in question know that they functionally get to decide what goes into the history books regardless of truth, and so they frame it in such a way that they look like "the good guys who put a stop to it" by framing it as decisive action
re: EU vs. Israel
@Yuvalne @joepie91 @elilla @omdimbeyachad that makes sense. it's scary how beholden our politicians are to the US government.
re: EU vs. Israel
@joepie91 @elilla one of the most convincing arguments i've heard so far comes from one of @omdimbeyachad 's Hebrew language podcasts, where they suggested the turning point actually happened in the US. there was the so-called leak about the Trump administration warning Netanyahu they'll be left abandoned, and they suggested it's not a coincidence all of those things happened shortly after, since that "leak" was a go-ahead from the US for the EU to turn on Israel.
