Is "paying back" really the issue here? Or should it be the dissonant stance of Europe where we're still cozy with a genocidal, out of control aggresor who's destroyed the progress we funded?

"you can keep with your genocide but not until you pay us for breaking our shit"?

It's sad that this is the case, but the european zionist politicians (especially german ones) might just get on board with easing sufferring just a bit if this is the selling point.

And while that's far from an ideal solution, a win's a win, no matter how small.

What a devious plan of the EU, funding terrorist infrastructure in Gaza!
Like a (terrorist) hospital and a (terrorist) desalination plant.

In fact, all terrorists were drinking water.

And the terrorist Nobel prize comitee that dared honour them!

I don't know about everyone else, but I don't think the cents are particularly important in the grand scheme of things...

Not even the €millions

Speaking as-if cents were the real harm enforced, not lives..

the "values" that do that..

are not humane values.

Lives are more important obviously, but money makes the world go around unfortunately. Whatever gets people on board boycotting Israel goes I guess
