Palestinians just lost over $700 million in aid from the EU [View all] Marius25 Oct 2023 OP

And yet, Palestinians the world over are celebrating this savage attack MarineCombatEngineer Oct 2023 #1

They're complete idiots. They've destroyed their cause probably forever. Marius25 Oct 2023 #2

I just can't comprehend what the leadership of Hamas was thinking this would gain them. MarineCombatEngineer Oct 2023 #4

All payments suspended is the second tweet. EllieBC Oct 2023 #7

Again, that doesn't equal they are permanently lost, nor does it equal all 691m euros is Celerity Oct 2023 #9

Obviously not permanently. EllieBC Oct 2023 #12

In the very short term, it doesn't mattter. Igel Oct 2023 #27

All payments were suspended, and even Sweden is apparently discussing ending aid to Palestinians Marius25 Oct 2023 #8

see post 9 Celerity Oct 2023 #10

Doesn't matter. EU citizens were brutally murdered and captured. Marius25 Oct 2023 #11

Syntax and the resultant claims that come from it DO matter, sorry. Celerity Oct 2023 #13

Well hopefully ALL aid from the entire West ends. Marius25 Oct 2023 #14

I am not at all in favour of permanently ending all aid that is humanitarian in nature. Celerity Oct 2023 #19
