The European Left’s Response to Israel’s War on Gaza

Since the Israel’s ar on Gaza started on October 7, the Israeli forces have been targeting civilians disproportionally and indiscriminately. At the time of writing, the death toll is nearing 20,000 people, the majority of which are children and women, while 46,000 were wounded. Moreover, close to 2 million people – 85% of Gaza’s population – have been displaced (UNRWA, 2023). Instances of war crimes, crimes against humanity and even genocide have been brought forward by experts. Israel’s onslaught on Gaza is already one of the greatest mass murder instances mankind has ever witnessed. This time, western capitals are not merely turning a blind eye to what Israel is doing; they are actively supporting it.
