The #EU is further formalizing its collaboration with Libyan warlords and thugs, to suppress migration at literally all human costs, despite a track record of horror spanning more than a decade:
»The EU has been collaborating with #Libya’s coastal authorities – collectively known as the ‘Libyan Coast Guard’ - for well over a decade. In that time, those forces have been implicated in the widespread #abuse, #detention, #kidnapping, #exploitation, #torture and #murder of people on the move.
In recent years, the so-called LCG has also begun attacking NGO rescue ships, harassing, threatening and shooting at them in order to deter them from rescuing people in distress at sea.«

A document leaked to Statewatch confirms that the EU has begun collaborating with Libya’s eastern forces on migration control. This collaboration includes training, support and the development of a regional migration coordination centre based in Benghazi. The ‘technical arrangement’ shows clearly that, rather than listening to civil societies’ calls to end or suspend a deadly externalisation partnership, the EU is only interested in expanding it further.
Hearing at the Ashkelon Magistrate’s Court for activist Zohar Regev, who holds an Israeli citizenship, she was arrested after Israeli forces intercepted the Gaza flotilla in international waters. She was the only activist brought before a court, while the others are being deported. More than 430 activists from the most recent Global Sumud flotilla were taken by Israeli forces on their way to Gaza. Photos by: @oren_ziv /Activestills

Israel's National Security Minister Itamar Ben-Gvir filmed himself taunting blindfolded activists after abducting them from the Global Sumud flotilla. This has caused global outrage, with many countries summoning Israeli ambassadors to ensure safety and dignity of the flotilla’s participants. . 🔗Tap the link in bio for more. . #Flotilla #Palestine #Gaza #Israel".

This is just so sadly accurate description of the events surrounding the kidnapping or flotilla activists.
At the same time, no one seems to care about the 10 EMTs murdered by Israel by doubletap in Lebanon.
I guess, it is better than nothing, but why do we need to have western victims in order to act like we care about the atrocities of Israel?
And 2-3 EU countries putting sanctions on products from Illegal Israeli settlements is nothing but a whitewash of their criminal complicity in 2.5 years of genocide and ethnic cleaning of Gaza, Occupied West Bank, Lebanon and Syria.
The entire regime of Netanyahu, including their terrorist network of IDF and Mossad should be sanctioned and boycotted, not just the settlers (it would have been positive, 20 years ago, but half of Netanyahu's cabinet are settlers, including Ben Gvir).
