Europe’s leaders are fluent in moral outrage — but only when the targets are convenient. When Russia rolled tanks into Crimea and Donbas, Brussels discovered sanctions, embargoes and endless solidarity hashtags. Annexation, they thundered, cannot be tolerated in the 21st century. Every missile sent to Kyiv was wrapped in the language of values and democracy. But the same Europe that cries foul at Russia has quietly financed a seventy-year slow annexation of Palestine. In 1948, 750,000 Palestinians were expelled. Today Israel controls over 90% of Gaza and the West Bank, armed and shielded by the United States. Entire neighborhoods are razed; hospitals, schools and refugee camps are hit with precision bombs paid for by American taxpayers and nodded through by European parliaments. Each massacre is softened with the phrase 'self-defense'. Each war crime is blurred out with diplomatic spin. The hypocrisy is naked. Ukraine is framed as a democracy under siege, Palestine as terrorism embodied. NATO leaders wave blue-and-yellow flags but refuse to see red and black blood spilled by U.S.-funded bombs. Every time a European politician calls Russia’s actions 'barbaric' but votes to deepen trade with Israel, the word 'values' loses meaning. Annexation is either wrong everywhere, or it is just a word used against America’s enemies. This double standard is more than rhetoric: it’s the architecture of empire. Europe pretends to be a mediator, but in reality it is Washington’s subcontractor. By arming one annexation and condemning another, it tells the global south exactly what it thinks of international law. Truthloop says it plain: if Ukraine deserves resistance, so does Palestine — and every European leader who bows to Washington’s line carries the stain of Gaza on their hands.
