Belgium's Deputy Prime Minister calls for sanctions against Israel

a reply to: SprocketUK

"The" deputy prime minister, instead of "a" deputy prime Minister is hardly a lie.

Those that think this inaccuracy is enough to discredit what the OP brought to our attention, reeks of exactly this

... spun up to the Nth degree.

Keep it up, your bias is palpable

He won't be Prime Minister for long. Pretty sure his opponents will be getting some cash infusions anonymously.

That's the latest act of desperation by some members. Try to find something in the title or a word to debate and failing as usual. Great point to be honest! 'a' instead of 'the'

But the issue isn't a word or a title.

By the way there has been another one on a thread yesterday. There is a Senior State Department Official who has resigned because he disagrees completely with our policy to arm foreign countries that massacre civilians (see my threads). The point for debate was that he isn't a...senior state department official. Having a look around and starting with the Huffington Post you will see that I got the title from them but I used another video with his interview which is more important.

Coming back to the topic of this thread it seems there is a growing number of politicians and lawyers all over the globe who clearly see what is really going on in Gaza and sanctions against Israel is the easy demand. There needs to be real justice when the war finishes.

Here is another link with the story

Belgium deputy PM wants Israel sanctioned over Gaza war

Petra De Sutter, Belgium’s deputy prime minister from the Greens, called on the country’s government to sanction Israel on Wednesday. “It is time for sanctions against Israel. The bombing is inhumane,” she posted on X, formerly Twitter. “While war crimes are being committed in Gaza, Israel ignores the international demand for a cease-fire.”

Another minister in Spain is also calling for sanctions against Israel as are some Muslim countries officials, but none of the leaders of any countries seem to want to take a formal position.

Some of the leaders have upcoming elections and most others will be trying to see how this ends. But you don't need the leader of a country to start legal proceedings or collect evidence against the alleged war crimes committed by Israel. There must a wider condemnation just as Hamas was condemned for what they've done on the 7th of October.

your arguments are the ones that are desperate.

all your links say a deputy, not the whole government. there is a big difference.
it's just one deputy who is speaking their opinion out of seven. there has been no vote passing a resolution, no announcement by The Prime Minister of Belgium requesting a vote or one has been passed.

it plainly says

Belgium's deputy prime minister called on the Belgian government on Wednesday to adopt sanctions against Israel and investigate the bombings of hospitals and refugee camps in Gaza.

so you lack reading and comprehension skills, or your spinning facts and lying through teeth.
me i think it's the latter and i'm sure many other here do also.

No I don't think so.

From the OP

De Sutter's comments come as many parties in Belgium's "Vivaldi" coalition government are reportedly warming to the idea of a boycott of Israeli goods produced in the Occupied Territories

It says there are many parties within the coalition government warming up to the idea of a boycott of some goods.

It looks like deputy PM isn't the only person in Belgium yo want sanctions against the Israeli Government.

As for the whole Government... Nobody has made a claim that the whole Government wants sanctions against Israel. It's more like a strawman.

a reply to: Leviathan4

your link doesn't say who the many are or how many of them, it could be all her little green supporters, the socialists, or any left leaners.

either way it's just their opinions and not the official stance of the De Croo Government

The world is turning against Israel’s war in Gaza – and many Israelis don’t understand why

Like many in Israel, Zweig is placing some of the blame for the brutal October 7 Hamas attack on Netanyahu. “We should have taken down Hamas a long time ago, but instead Netanyahu started allowing Qatari money in,” he said referencing Netanyahu’s decision to allow Qatar to transfer millions of dollars to Hamas-run Gaza in 2018.

“You’re not going to change a terror organization’s agenda with money. Now, the price of taking them down will be much higher,” Zweig said

That's some really pathetic islamophobia you've got going there!

The kind of mind-numbing ignorance you'd need to overlook the death cult that has become Israels conquest, I'd reckon?

You do realise that becoming a martyr and getting their 72 virgins to abuse is the Muslims perfection?
Islamaphobia?Nothing irrational about not trusting people who's book tells them if people don't convert then kill them.
Liberal idiots who allowed western countries to be overrun by third world islamists will be the end of the West.
Taqqiya is their m/o.
Import the third world,become the third world.

Racism always pairs well with islamophobia. I'd say you're exactly where capital wants you to be, scapegoating exactly who you're supposed to blame.
How about colonialism and slavery then, you think that's on the slaves as well?

I still like this attempt by the way.
There is nothing that can be debated so let's attempt to debate 'a' and 'the'.

Which countries in the West are overrun by Islamists? Can you name them please?

I see you have fail to address the topic of the thread boy instead you chose sensationalism and exaggerations.
