Description
The European Union presents itself as an honorable mediator in the Middle East in carefully prepared official statements. However, in reality, the governments of the 27 EU member states have long been trying to accommodate Israel, which occupies Palestinian territories. Journalist David Cronin examines this relationship and its outcomes. A recent agreement on 'more intense, fruitful, and influential cooperation' between the EU and Israel means that Israel has become an informal member of the Union. Cronin shows that instead of using this relationship to encourage Israeli restraint, the EU has legitimized actions such as mistreatment of prisoners and the invasion of Gaza. In the conclusion of his revealing and shocking narrative, Cronin calls for the continuation and deepening of international activism and protests to stop the EU's slide into complicity.
