27 Juillet 2025, Jour de la Déclaration de Dépendance européenne. 1. Un traité inégal où l’un paye des droits de douane à hauteur de 15% mais l’autre aucun. Comment ne pas appeler cela un tribut ? 2. Un accord d’investissement de 600 milliards de dollars à sens unique…
Odeh just died. Murdered.
An Israeli settler just shot Odeh Hadalin in the lungs, a remarkable activist who helped us film No Other Land in Masafer Yatta. Residents identified Yinon Levi, sanctioned by the EU and US, as the shooter. This is him in the video firing like crazy.
È bene precisare, come la Commissione ha già fatto, che gli acquisti di gas, gli acquisti di armi e gli investimenti di aziende UE in USA sono meri auspici. La Commissione non ha nessuna competenza o potere per metterli in atto. #TradeDeal

Pathetic. After exempting US multinationals from the global minimum tax, the EU caves in on trade This type of extorsion never stops and rarely ends well Our system of international economic relations needs a radical reinvention, urgently
Appena sentito Trump ripetere la bufala che gli aiuti umanitaria a Gaza li ruba Hamas per rivenderli. Bufala smentita dal New York Times con fonti dell’esercito israeliano. Von der Leyen, accanto, silente.
