Oh please it would be so funny, put her in a jail next to the RAF
I hope she gets everything she deserves.
She was appointed by the leadership of the EU states, who hand-picked the President and approved the members of her commission. Sufficient leverage hasn’t been placed on the EU elected leaders and their states for them to discard her. She would have to cross several European billionaires to be ousted in such a dramatic fashion.
Not that I necessarily disagree but why the EU in particular when pretty much every other western country is just as complicit with Israel?
She, Francesca Albanese, is and has been always a controversial person according to a report from U.N Watch [ed] and this link in JPost
"A report by United Nations Watch on Wednesday is urging democratic nations to impose sanctions on Francesca Albanese, the UN Special Rapporteur on Palestinian human rights, accusing her of promoting antisemitism, supporting terrorism, and spreading misinformation."
According to the view of some, the whole world must be complicit.
[ed]: typo HRW must be UN watch.
Easier to blame one person instead of a revolving door of who's currently running France, Italy, Germany, etc. etc. etc.?
It's a start. Hopefully, more people get tried and called out.
Still, fuck von der leyen
Because the EU is Israel's biggest trade partner and claim to represent democracy, humanity and all that.
I mean obviously the EU is Israel's biggest trade partner, it is literally a block of almost all the nearby countries they can trade with, but I was more thinking about why not the leaders of those individual countries too? Why focus on the EU which has much less of a direct shared foreign policy than the individual member countries.
We are evolved enough to have some clear red lines no one should cross. Instead, we have a global capitalist system with no red lines, if they limit someones' profit (not to mention religious bs). There should be a wide net over political figures and decision makers over this genocide. They should be either charged, banned from such positions or acquitted.
Every single politician involved in this should be tried for complicity. Of course, that probably won't happen because it's inconvenient, and "who watches the watchmen". It's about fucking time ursula gets called out by such an important figure.
Jesus christ, i'm so tired.
My sweet summer child, nothing will come from this. Zensursular has a proud and storied history of political bullshittery on all levels.
What a joke. I didn't hear of this before, thanks for bringing it up. We're so fucked.
EU continue business as usual
That's not a war crime, and I don't think that's how it works, and I also don't think it's how it should work either.
AFAIK they have not been complicit in the war crimes against Gaza and the Palestinians in any way.
Should we do more to help Palestine? Yes.
Should we do more to prevent Israel from committing war crimes? Also yes.
But has EU been part of ISRAELS war crimes? No I don't think so.
From reading the article this is the extend of complicity they can demonstrate:
Beyond demanding accountability from EU leaders, Albanese said she is working on a report which will expose banks, pensions funds, tech companies, and universities for complicity in Gaza’s destruction.
It's a pathetic argument, and incidentally EU has helped Gaza more than anybody else, does that make EU complicit in the original terrorist attack on Israel that started this? Of course it doesn't.
I fail to understand why that article is upvoted, apart from people being extremely frustrated with the situation.
But I don't think articles like this are helping.
It's because the russians are busy resetting their disinformation campaign on VdL (this is the left-wing of it, the right wing exists as well among antivaxxers and other communities), because apparently Europe is not letting Ukraine fall even if trump doesn't care. https://meduza.io/en/feature/2025/04/19/imagined-common-enemies watch out for the "Eurofascism" buzzword.
But it's pathetic, VdL has no real executive power and the EU decision making is too decentralized to demonize single figureheads with their hamfisted attempts, like it worked with genocide joe.

Rules:
-
Rule 1: posts have the following requirements:
- Post news articles only
- Video links are NOT articles and will be removed.
- Title must match the article headline
- Not United States Internal News
- Recent (Past 30 Days)
- Screenshots/links to other social media sites (Twitter/X/Facebook/Youtube/reddit, etc.) are explicitly forbidden, as are link shorteners.
-
Rule 2: Do not copy the entire article into your post. The key points in 1-2 paragraphs is allowed (even encouraged!), but large segments of articles posted in the body will result in the post being removed. If you have to stop and think "Is this fair use?", it probably isn't. Archive links, especially the ones created on link submission, are absolutely allowed but those that avoid paywalls are not.
-
Rule 3: Opinions articles, or Articles based on misinformation/propaganda may be removed. Sources that have a Low or Very Low factual reporting rating or MBFC Credibility Rating may be removed.
-
Rule 4: Posts or comments that are homophobic, transphobic, racist, sexist, anti-religious, or ableist will be removed. “Ironic” prejudice is just prejudiced.
-
Posts and comments must abide by the lemmy.world terms of service UPDATED AS OF 10/19
-
Rule 5: Keep it civil. It's OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It's NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
-
Rule 6: Memes, spam, other low effort posting, reposts, misinformation, advocating violence, off-topic, trolling, offensive, regarding the moderators or meta in content may be removed at any time.
-
Rule 7: We didn't USED to need a rule about how many posts one could make in a day, then someone posted NINETEEN articles in a single day. Not comments, FULL ARTICLES. If you're posting more than say, 10 or so, consider going outside and touching grass. We reserve the right to limit over-posting so a single user does not dominate the front page.
We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.
All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.
