An Islamic terrorist organization sends stern warnings to an EU member if it does not change its defense policy. The EU foreign policy chief says nothing. Brussels could not present its global political claims as a more clearly a joke.
Threats are an essential task in Hassan Nasrallah’s job description. The 63-year-old is, so to speak, chairman of the Lebanese terrorist group Hezbollah, so rattling is part of his job.
Unfortunately, Hezbollah doesn’t just do PR, it also has a real product to offer for free without a warrant: indiscriminate violence. The main target group is the Jews, i.e. the State of Israel. But those addressed also include all other so-called infidels – that is, all non-Muslims (and sometimes also their fellow Sunni believers).
Under the fire of Hezbollah
Israel is burning, and no one cares
On October 7, 2023, Israel once again learned painfully that Nasrallah’s industry not only barks, but also bites brutally. As for Hamas, Nasrallah’s sister organization, which, like Hezbollah, was fueled by Iran, it attacked 1,200 peaceful visitors to a music festival and, there is no other way to describe it, slaughtered them. 250 people have been kidnapped, according to intelligence, and of the officially remaining 120 hostages, only 50 are said to be still alive. This insane act of terrorism prompted Israel to invade the Hamas-controlled Gaza Strip.
The CEO of a terrorist organization, Nasrallah, has now accused EU-member Cyprus of allowing Israel to carry out military exercises at airports and military bases on the island. This is where things get really interesting: Hezbollah’s leader sends a clear and veiled threat to Cyprus – if there is an open conflict with Lebanon and the country, he will allow Israel to continue using its infrastructure:
Opening Cypriot airports and bases to the Israeli enemy to attack Lebanon means that the Cypriot government is part of the war. The resistance will deal with it as part of the war.”
Cyprus has long been in the crosshairs of Islamic terrorism. Terrorist attacks carried out by Hezbollah and its Iranian agents have been thwarted several times in recent years. The Israelis were supposed to be killed on the island. But the direct threat to an EU member: this is new.
Hamas, the International Criminal Court, and the International Court of Justice: Islamists among themselves
At the beginning of the week: missiles on Tel Aviv
This is where the bureaucracy of the Brussels Empire comes into play, which desperately wants to become a true global power.
In Josep Borrell’s job description, defending EU member states is a fundamental task. The 77-year-old is the EU’s „High Representative for Foreign and Security Policy” – so to speak, a potential EU foreign minister.
Since the Hamas massacre in Israel, the Spanish socialist has not missed an opportunity to denounce the Jewish state in every possible way. Recently, on his former Twitter account, he criticized the Israeli hostage rescue operation (!) with dramatic words:
“Reports from Gaza of another massacre of civilians are horrific. We condemn this in the strongest possible terms. The massacre must end immediately.”
However, this is, well, not entirely true. More precisely: not at all. When Jerusalem was able to free four Israeli hostages from the Gaza Strip on June 8, Israeli units came under heavy fire. There is a detailed report on this matter. It appears that the army freed an Israeli from a private apartment where the hostage was being held by a “journalist” from the Arabic television channel Al Jazeera.
While fleeing, the liberation squad came under heavy fire. Support units paved the way. It appears that many Palestinians were killed. Hamas says: All women and children are completely uninvolved. And Israel says: Nonsense, they were almost exclusively heavily armed Hamas fighters.
Surprisingly, Borrell believes he would prefer to do this immediately and without any scrutiny by Hamas’s public relations department.
Spain’s anti-Semitic attitude is well known, and one might dismiss it as the annoying behavior of an old man. It is unfortunate that this old man still maintains an office, an office whose importance Brussels itself never tires of emphasizing.
While the crucial EU foreign policy official makes anti-Israel comments, he says nothing about the dark threat of violence against an EU member state.
Any attack by Hezbollah on Cyprus would represent a case of alliance for the European Union. All EU members are then obligated under international law to provide military support to the country under attack. The EU Treaty states in Article 42(7) on the “Common Foreign and Security Policy”:
“In the event of an armed attack on the territory of a Member State, other Member States owe it all the assistance and support in their power.”
Chicken pile EU Commission
EU aid to Gaza not yet suspended – Borrell: This will only encourage terrorists
If North Korea’s madman Kim Jong Un makes any threats against the United States, the US Secretary of State is of course not above rejecting them in clear words. Antony Blinken knows his job duty: to make clear at all times even to clearly crazed potential aggressors that the United States takes its own interests seriously and will protect and defend them.
Burrell clearly lacks this sense of duty, and no one seems to feel called upon to remind the man that he is highly paid and has a job to do.
As long as the European Union produces such numbers and does not take its foreign and security policy seriously, no one in the world should fear that the European Union will one day become a global power.
We wish Cypriots good luck. You will need it.
