New Ursula Balfour statement!

The Palestinian people were shocked by the statements of the President of the European Commission, Ursula von der Leyen, in which she congratulated the Israelis and their President Herzog on the so-called "Israel's Independence Day". Ursula, who belongs to the ruling Christian Democratic Party, and is the first woman to occupy the positions of Minister of Labor and Social Security and then Defense in Germany, congratulated the Israelis on their state’s independence in English and Hebrew, and stressed the cultural, civilizational and human ties between Europe and Israel, and spoke highly of her admiration for this well-established and innovative democracy. And the leader in the Middle East, referring to Israel as described! Ursula also emphasized the strong alliance and friendship between Europe and Israel. These provocative statements were condemned by the Palestinian Ministry of Foreign Affairs, and by all Palestinian national action factions. It was seen as a clear bias by Europe towards Israel in its continued aggression against the Palestinian people.

Indeed, Ursula's statement contained many inaccuracies; The most important of them:

What kind of democratic tragedy is Ursula talking about? Israel is not a democratic state, it is a racist state, and it is based on excluding its Arab citizens and depriving them of their basic rights.

- Which country of peace is Ursula talking about? Israel is the country that waged more battles and military aggressions in the world over the past decade against its neighbors and the Palestinian people, and this country allocates more than 15% of its budget to the army.

- Which Jewish people is Ursula talking about? Since there is no Jewish people in the first place, the Israelis belong to several races and the only bond that unites them is religion.

- About what historical tragedy Ursula is talking about, which the Jews went through until they were able to establish their state in the land of the feast! She acknowledges the Zionist narrative about the historical and religious ties of the Jews in Palestine, while the majority of historians and archaeologists, including the Israelis themselves, deny these ties.

- Which desert has been turned into paradise, is Ursula talking about? Palestine is not a desert, and Israel did not turn the Negev into a paradise. Rather, it confiscated the lands of the Palestinians there, expelled them from their lands, and established a few settlement farms that did not exceed the city of Beersheba!

In the result, Ursula, she repeated the Balfour Declaration in a passionate, ironic style. Instead of talking about the catastrophe of the Palestinian people, the displacement of a million Palestinian refugees, and the destruction of 530 Palestinian villages in the 1948 war, it glorified the establishment of this rogue state that did not implement all the resolutions of international legitimacy, including Resolution 181 and Resolution 194, which were two conditions for the international recognition of this state.

Ursula, while praising the common bonds woven by hundreds of thousands of Europeans who hold Israeli citizenship, should have indicated the responsibility of European countries for the crimes against humanity committed by these dual nationals. Ursula, while singing the anthem of friendship and alliance with Israel, should have been ashamed of herself while singing about a racist fascist state that kills Palestinian civilians every day. It should have recognized the plight of the Palestinians, as the General Assembly of the United Nations recently recognized it, and recognized the State of Palestine in response to the international recognition of the plight of the Palestinian people and the resolutions of international legitimacy. In fact, if Europe is Israel's ally, as Ursula herself declared, then it bears the international moral, legal and political responsibility for the plight of the Palestinian people and the crimes of persecution, abuse and racial discrimination practiced by Israel on a daily basis. In conclusion, and with all these fallacies, the European Union countries should exclude Ursula from the presidency of the European Commission in order to preserve the bonds of friendship with the Palestinian people and respect for the rules of international law and democracy that the EU countries themselves praise!
