BRUSSELS, Feb 19 (Reuters) - The European Union on Monday warned Israel against launching an offensive in Rafah that ministers said would create a disaster for the roughly 1.5 million refugees crammed into the city on the southern edge of Gaza. “An attack on Rafah would be absolutely catastrophic … it would be unconscionable,” Ireland’s Foreign Minister Micheal Martin said before a meeting with foreign ministers from the 27 EU member states in Brussels.

    We’ve spent 4 months saying it’s too much.

    Drop this stupid facade unless you’re willing to back shit up.

    Your complacency is transparent and will be punished when the guard changes.

    Everyone pay attention and witness the willingness of your leaders to help you. When someone comes for you, you’ll receive the same level of support.

    Decide to change your leaders to someone who cares.

    Israel will go on with it. The EU will keep doing business as usual. We know the drill already. They’re saying this now just for moral posturing.

    Stop warning and have some actual consequences. At the very least halt all military aid, every bit of weaponry sent to Israel will be used for war crimes. Ideally halt all support to Israel. “Warning” does fuck all.
