Irish MEP Mick Wallace broke into tears during a speech in the European Parliament, criticizing the European Union's unwavering support for "Israel" against the Palestinians. Wallace shared a video clip of his speech on his social media, visibly moved by the killing and destruction carried out by the Israeli occupation forces in Gaza.

Wallace stated, "Israel could not behave as it does without the support + complicity of the European Union- we have to stop that..."

"...It is important that we don't forget...the people of Europe will never forget that the EU stood by the Apartheid State of Israel against the Palestinians...," he added.

In the video, Wallace appeared deeply affected by the ongoing events, trying more than once to hold his tears back.

Earlier today, he said in a post on X that it is uplifting to see a growing number of Jews worldwide distancing themselves from Zionism, the settler colonial project of apartheid "Israel", despite the unwavering support it receives from the colonial powers of America and Europe.

It is so encouraging for the future that so many Jews across the world are distancing themselves from Zionism, the Settler Colonial Project of the Apartheid State of #Israel, which sadly has the unconditional support of the old Colonialists of America and Europe... https://t.co/HSa4BE2Hhn

It is worth noting that sizable and passionate gatherings and rallies were held across the West, brandishing signs and vocalizing chants, expressing their deep-seated frustration, outrage, and fear concerning the death toll of over 15,000 Palestinians, including more than 6,000 children. Several protesters, including a large number of Jews, mentioned that their participation in the pro-Palestinian rallies aimed to encourage Western policymakers to advocate for an urgent ceasefire in Gaza.

The #Israeli Genocide of the #Palestinian people continues, thanks to the support of the #US and the #EuropeanUnion - They say the lives of Palestinians matter but that means nothing when they give Israel the bombs to slaughter Palestinian Women + Children... https://t.co/8eM7MvEl4l

— Mick Wallace (@wallacemick) December 1, 2023

Concurrently, he stressed that the ongoing Israeli actions against the Palestinian people are characterized as genocide, sustained by the support of the United States and the European Union.

While there are declarations that Palestinian lives matter, these statements ring hollow when the same entities provide "Israel" with the means, such as bombs, to indiscriminately harm Palestinian women and children, he added. 

Wallace's remarks came as the temporary truce between the Resistance in Gaza and the Israeli occupation entity, brokered by Qatar and Egypt, expired at 7:00 am Friday without any announcement of its extension.

Shortly after, "Israel" renewed its aggression across Gaza, bombing the Strip indiscriminately.
