Irish MEP criticizes EU’s silence on Israeli crimes against Palestinians
An independent Irish member of the European Parliament has criticized the European Union (EU) for its silence on Israeli crimes, as the Tel Aviv regime continues to commit atrocities against Palestinians across the Occupied Territories.
Mick Wallace made the remarks in a post on his Twitter account on Saturday, after the EU released its Action Plan on Human Rights and Democracy 2022, in which there was no mention of the plight of Palestinians.
According to Press TV, Wallace denounced the annual report as” selective,” noting that it has ignored the persecution and murdering of Palestinians by the Israeli regime.
Pointing to the fact that at least 150 Palestinians were murdered by the regime forces last year, he lamented the bloc's failure to mention the issue in the report.
“How can we allow crimes to be committed against Palestinians every day and remain silent? These crimes would not have happened without our complicity,” he added.
The latest development comes two days after Israeli forces shot and martyred at least nine Palestinians and wounded over a dozen others during a violent raid on the Jenin refugee camp in the northern West Bank.
The Israeli massacre carried out against Palestinian civilians on Thursday has sparked widespread condemnation, with resistance groups vowing retaliation.
The latest assassinations bought the total number of Palestinians martyred in Israeli fire so far in 2023 to 28, including five children.
Israeli forces regularly conduct raids on various cities of the occupied West Bank on the pretext of detaining what they call “wanted” Palestinians.
The unwarranted raids usually lead to violent confrontations with residents.
