The fact Europe still hasn't broken all ties with Israel over their human rights abuses tells me their supposed democratic values are more window dressing than anything.
Europe is led by material interests, not democratic values.
But if Germany supplies Israel and cracks down kn pro Palestine speech, can you say they're as democratic as those other countries?
So you judge Europe only by the countries that suit you?
No, because I'd rather have all of them break ties with Israel. That would suit me. Reality however is different.
Your original point is that Europe gets along with itself because of democracy. If some, like Germany, are less democratic, can you really say that?
And it's not even their own material interest lol
Europe has plenty of investments in Israel and vice versa, especially military and real estate. Those investments won't pay off if they put sanctions on Israel or break ties with them.
I meant Europe sabotaging itself for the USA interests since 2022. Those ties with Israel are literally zero price to pay compared to avoiding of enegry crisis, if only they weren't captured by USA interests so much, but again, Europe is in energy crisis literally only because they are vassals of USA to begin with.
I see your point, but Europe is in this crisis more because they don't have a robust energy sector of their own. That's what explains their interests being captured by the US on that front, because before 2022 they relied on Russia for their oil and gas.
