About time! Western democracies do not stand with genocide!
Ironically, De Croo was also criticised here in Belgium for that speech being way too soft.
We are the same in Ireland, our politicians are getting slated by The Netanyahu Reich for what they are saying and it's nothing compared to the general consensus on the street. I'd be up there calling all the other leaders cowtowing pussys, like Trudeau's fumbled attempt at not calling for a ceasefire. And Biden's inability to reign in their wayward, nuclear armed, child.
Sick of Israel gov scolding other countries as if they were a higher authority. Stop violating international law and try to step up your pretend-democracy first
Fingers will be wagged!
