Irish Member of the European Parliament Mick Wallace said that the peoples of Europe stand with the Palestinian people, “unlike their governments that support Israel.”

He pointed out in a post on the “X” platform, on Sunday, that the General Assembly of the European Parliament had been held 4 times in Strasbourg, France, “since the beginning of the genocide in Gaza,” but no decision was taken regarding Gaza in those meetings.

Wallace noted that there had not been an "sufficient resolution" from the European Parliament on the "US-NATO proxy war in Ukraine."

He criticized the European Parliament's position, saying: "We did not want a ceasefire in Ukraine or Gaza because the American empire does not want that."

Irish Representative Wallace also shared in his post a clip of a speech he gave at a demonstration in support of Palestine.

In his speech, Wallace criticized the visit of European Union Commission President Ursula von der Leyen to Tel Aviv after October 7.

Von der Leyen was accused of "giving the green light to the genocide committed by Israel against the Palestinian people."

Wallace pointed out the hanging of Israeli flags on official buildings in Europe as evidence of support for Israel, and added: "But the same does not happen for Palestine."

“In some countries in Europe, you are not even allowed to carry Palestinian flags,” Wallace said.

He considered that "the so-called values of the European Union are nothing but the interests that coincide with the Zionist plan of the occupying and settlement state Israel," adding that European governments "have not changed their approach and are still on the side of the colonizers."

On the other hand, Wallace pointed out that people in Europe support Palestine in the Gaza issue, “unlike governments.”

Wallace added: "The people of Europe are in a different place (from politicians). More than 80 percent of politicians support the apartheid state of Israel, but more than 90 percent of European people stand with the oppressed Palestinians."

Since October 7, the Israeli army has been waging a devastating war on the Gaza Strip, which has left tens of thousands dead and wounded, massive infrastructure destruction and an unprecedented humanitarian catastrophe, according to the Strip authorities and the United Nations.
