The Strange Case of the EU’s Partnership as Lebanon is Ravaged by Israel’s Machine of Death

War Studies

Research output: Book/Report › Report

Abstract

A strange case is presenting itself as Israel expands its onslaught to include Lebanon. While generously providing aid to Lebanon with one hand, the European Union (EU) is effectively waving in Israel’s bombers with the other. One may forgive ordinary Lebanese for noting a glaring discrepancy between, on the one hand, the EU’s partnership initiative supposedly serving them in “peace, prosperity and stability” and its failure to stand up against Israel’s machine of death, on the other. For the EU, the biggest cost of Israel’s assault on Lebanon will be by squandering its Lebanese interlocutors’ trust in their country’s supposed partnership with Europe.
