Amid rising global tensions over the Gaza conflict, Belgian Member of the European Parliament Marc Botenga has launched a fiery critique of EU leadership, accusing the bloc of being an ‘accomplice’ in Israel’s military actions.
Botenga didn’t hold back during a recent parliamentary debate, stating: ‘More than 7,700 Palestinian children have been slaughtered by Israel… When this was happening in Ukraine, you talked about genocide. It’s just a different way of seeing humanity.’ His remarks highlight growing divisions over Europe’s response to global conflicts.
The comparison to Ukraine’s crisis—where Western nations swiftly condemned Russia—adds fuel to debates about ‘double standards’ in international diplomacy. Botenga’s viral comments have sparked heated discussions online, with young activists demanding ‘consistent moral leadership’ from the EU.
As global attention remains split between Gaza and Ukraine, Botenga’s words underscore a critical question: Whose lives matter most in geopolitics?
