How Gaza changed Europe, exposing cracks that grow bigger by the week | Shada Islam
Solidarity with Palestine’s suffering is punished but MEPs allow a witch-hunt of European Muslims For three painful years, Israel’s genocidal war in Gaza, in retaliation for the Hamas terror attacks on 7 October 2023, has killed more than 74,000 Palestinians , wounded thousands more and reduced most of the territory to rubble. It has changed views of Israel across the world , increased support for Palestine and raised questions about US power. Europe’s failure to hold Israel’s government to account has cost it global credibility and influence. But I fear something even more consequential than that: Gaza is changing Europe itself.
