Why the hell Israel is receiving any funding from EU? They should be sanctioned for committing genocide in Gaza.

Even if people are so callous as to not care about Gazans or Palestinians in general, Israel routinely targets European journalists in West Bank. Israel, in fact, just targetted DW journalists today. This alone should disqualify Israel from getting a single cent of EU money, let alone committing a genocide.

Plus, even if you support Israel's genocide - they shouldn't be involved in ANY EU-program at all. It just makes no sense for them to be.

Putting aside the ludicrous targetting claims, Palestinians literally butchered EU citizens on camera and paraded their corpses, Hezbollah committed a terrorist attack in my country and the Houthis took EU citizens hostage. I'd rather EU money go to Israel than anyone else in that region and would expect the same from my government.

Israel doesn't target journalists

and even if they did, Hamas shouldn't get funding

But... they don't? Are you ok?

Because they gave money to the program to be part of it.
