why did the eu give a war criminal a welcome and not arrest;

With rare exceptions, the Brussels press corps has not bothered to examine how the European Union has mollycoddled Israel and its supporters amid the Gaza genocide.

One story that you surely did not see in the mainstream media during 2024 concerns how VIP treatment was given to a war criminal.

In April, the EU’s diplomatic service jointly hosted a “strategic dialogue” in Brussels with the European Leadership Network, a pro-Israel lobby group. The event was chaired by Amos Yadlin, who should have been taken into police detention upon his arrival in Belgium.

A decade earlier, an Istanbul court issued warrants for the arrests of several Israelis, including Yadlin. He was the army’s head of intelligence when it attacked a flotilla attempting to break the Gaza siege in May 2010.

At that time, Yadlin was nearing the end of his formal military career. He had spent part of the preceding decade pondering how Israel could wage war in an “ethical” fashion.

Yadlin did not pass muster as a moral philosopher. Doing so would require him to denounce the acts of aggression in which he had participated.

He was, for example, a warplane pilot during the 1982 invasion of Lebanon. In his book Pity the Nation, Robert Fisk observed how such pilots were responsible for “killing thousands of civilians, smashing families between the walls, floors and furniture of their homes with such total violence that their corpses often emerged from the rubble flattened into huge shadows.”...........more.........
