The Gaza Questions Europe doesn't want to answer
Dear "horrified" Europeans, what would you have done if October 7 had happened to your country, your community, your wife, your daughters, your children or your grandchildren? Op-ed
Assessment
This op-ed challenges European critics of Israel's Gaza campaign to confront a direct hypothetical: how would they respond if their own civilians suffered a massacre on the scale of October 7. The piece implies that European moral outrage is selective and untested by real threat. Readers should watch whether European governments shift their public stance as Israeli operations continue, or whether the gap between stated principles and strategic interests widens further.
