Eff the effing superman. A serious loss to sanity in the EU nm
...but have no doubt she will still be doing good elsewhere. Although the circumstances are a bit different, it reminds me of the late Tony Benn's comment that he was resigning to “spend more time in politics.”
Irish member of European Parliament calls von der Leyen 'Frau Genocide' over Gaza Clare Daly's remarks went viral on social media after many users share clips, calling European Commission head 'Frau Genocide' Burak Bir | 25.12.2023 - Update : 26.12.2023 Irish member of European Parliament calls von der Leyen 'Frau Genocide' over Gaza
LONDON
Irish Member of the European Parliament Clare Daly has once again criticized the European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen over her stance on relentless Israeli attacks on Gaza, calling her "Frau Genocide."
Daly's speech at the European Parliament went viral on Monday after she accused von der Leyen of overriding the foreign policies to "cheerlead a brutal apartheid regime."
She said von der Leyen "elevated to power without a single vote from the citizens who has spent the last two months swooping in and overriding the foreign policies of elected governments all to cheerlead a brutal apartheid regime that she calls a ‘vibrant democracy’ as a pulverizers a city of children."
"Well, my God with defenders of democracy like that, I think I speak for many, many citizens of Europe when I say ‘Nein Danke!’ No, Thanks, Frau Genocide," she added.
Last month, she criticized von der Leyen for not calling for a truce in Gaza, saying that "it's not just Israel's genocide," but Europe's too.
Von der Leyen has been criticized for her unconditional support to Israel and hesitance to call for restraint in Gaza.
Israel has pounded the Gaza Strip since a cross-border attack by the Palestinian group Hamas on Oct. 7, killing at least 20,424 Palestinians, mostly women and children, and injuring 54,036 others, according to local health authorities.
Around 1,200 Israelis are believed to have been killed in the Hamas attack.
The Israeli onslaught has left Gaza in ruins, with half of the coastal territory's housing damaged or destroyed and nearly 2 million people displaced within the densely-populated enclave amid shortages of food, clean water and medicines.
Independents 4 Change MEP Clare Daly lost her seat following 17 counts at the RDS.
There seems to have been a bit of a media blackout of her campaigning/speeches so she's been put at every disadvantage they could manage.
One of the VERY few politicians you see a clip of or tweet from and think, that will definitely be worth watching/reading/hearing. Someone with actual principle and conviction. So of course, she has to go.
Really depressing....no amount of cajolery, and no attempts at ethical or social seduction, can eradicate from my heart a deep burning hatred for the Tory Party...So far as I am concerned they are lower than vermin.
I wish we could swap Dublin for Liverpool. Absolutely shameful the neo-liberal abominations people voted for when this woman was an option on the ballot...it's not as if people aren't aware of her existence. A fuckin malignant sewer of a city.
