Europe Is Getting Rich Off Genocide In Gaza - Niamh Ní Bhriain

U.S. and NATO IMPERIALISM - FOLLOW THE MONEY

Transnational Institute

Niamh Ní Bhriain, coordinator of the War and Pacification Programme at the Transnational Institute, exposes how European governments are complicit in Israel’s genocide in Gaza... not just through silence, but through active weapons transfers and military support.

While Irish and EU leaders claim to uphold human rights, they continue to allow Israeli and U.S. military flights transporting weapons through their airspace, fueling the killing of Palestinian civilians.

Niamh reveals how the EU’s deepening alliance with NATO and the arms industry has turned public money into profit for weapons manufacturers, while international law is shredded in full view.

The same governments that cut funding for healthcare and housing are now spending billions on militarisation, fighter jets, and anti-tank missiles. This isn't about safety. It's about profit. And Palestine is paying the highest price.

A broad alliance of organisations and activists is organising a counter-summit and demonstration opposing NATO, taking place in The Hague on June 21 and 22. In the days leading up to the NATO summit, the coalition aims to amplify a critical, alternative voice. The event will culminate in a public demonstration against the NATO war summit, with a diverse range of participants expected from both the Netherlands and abroad.
