Villainy: EU President Von der Leyen Vows to Punish Israel

Once again, Europe stands with wholesale Jewish murder.

Europe took all the wrong lessons from World War II and are applying them, while
ignoring the only lesson that’s really relevant from World War II, which is that you have to choose good and defend good and fight with the intention of defeating evil.

It is any wonder that Europe is sinking under the weight of the EU?

This silence is no surprise. Europe traded six million Jews for 20 million Muslims.

What is frequently referrd to as the “Palestinianization” of Europe is actually the islamization.

The Holocaust, while it was a German initiative, was carried out by every nation in Europe, save for the Danes. There were Dutch Nazis, Polish Nazis, French Nazis etc— Europe as a continent decided it was a good idea to get rid of the Jews.  The New York Times has reported the discovery of 42,500 Nazi ghettos and camps scross Europe. That number includes “killing centres,” forced labour camps, prisoner-of-war camps, brothels and “care” centres where pregnant women were forced to have abortions, The New York Times reported. 30,000 slave labour camps; 1,150 Jewish ghettos; 980 concentration camps; 1,000 prisoner-of-war camps; 500 brothels; and thousands of other camps for pregnant women and the elderly.

Over 42,000 concentration camps? That wasn’t just the Germans.

Today, antisemitism remains a significant problem in the European Union, with recent surveys from the EU Agency for Fundamental Rights showing high levels of antisemitic harassment and hate crimes affecting Jewish communities. But this is what the European Commission decides to do. 

Von der Leyen vows to punish Israel’s ‘extremist ministers’ and pause payments

What is happening in Gaza is unacceptable,” EU Commission president tells a noisy European Parliament during State of the Union address.

By: Politico, September 9, 2025:

President Ursula von der Leyen used her annual State of the Union speech to announce the European Commission will take a tougher approach on Israel ― drawing applause and jeers from a divided European Parliament.

The EU’s executive will sanction “extremist ministers” and violent settlers, and pause bilateral payments to Israel, von der Leyen said, as she seeks to blast through gridlock in the bloc’s response to the humanitarian crisis in Gaza.

The announcement triggered a furious response in Israel, where Foreign Minister Gideon Sa’ar hit back: “The President of the European Commission’s comments this morning are regrettable. Some of them are also tainted by echoing the false propaganda of Hamas and its partners.”

The Commission will also propose a partial suspension of trade aspects of the EU-Israel Association Agreement — even though these are measures that are likely to be stalled by persistent divisions among the capitals over how to restrain the Israeli government’s response to the attacks by Hamas on Oct. 7, 2023.

“What is happening in Gaza is unacceptable,” von der Leyen told the Parliament in Strasbourg. “We will propose sanctions on the extremist ministers and on violent settlers.”

Von der Leyen acknowledged that disagreement among national governments had blocked more concrete action — including suspending EU research funding — and said that was fueling public anger.

“We will put our bilateral support to Israel on hold,” she said, adding that funding for the Holocaust museum Yad Vashem and Israeli civil society would not be affected. She gave no further details than that.

Referring to “man-made famine,” she said: “For the sake of humanity, this must stop.”

In his response, Sa’ar added: “The President of the Commission errs in yielding to the pressures of elements that seek to undermine Israel–Europe relations. This trend is contrary to the interests of the European states themselves. And mainly: this is not acceptable conduct between partners.”

Largest trading partner

The announcement that the EU will sanction key Israeli officials and settlers drew applause and heckles from across the chamber.

Many lawmakers, some of whom were wearing red in solidarity with Gaza, welcomed the announcement. But it sparked uproar on the right-hand side of the chamber where some members, including from Germany’s far-right Alternative for Germany (AfD), shouted interruptions, prompting attendants and MEPs to tell them to be quiet.

The EU is Israel’s largest trading partner, accounting for 32 percent of its total trade in 2024, so any possible suspension will have a major effect on the Israeli economy. The EU exports machinery and transport equipment, chemicals and other manufactured goods to Israel, with total exports amounting to €26.7 billion in 2024.

In long, behind-closed-doors negotiations between the main political groups ahead of von der Leyen’s speech, the Parliament failed to agree on a joint stance on Gaza. Von der Leyen’s center-right European People’s Party (EPP) walked out of a deal as they disagreed with the content of the final text, which means the resolution will not pass Thursday’s vote, three officials, granted anonymity to speak freely, said.
