I am worried that this will only be a symbolic gesture. Palestine can not be a state with 700,000 settlers on the Westbank and the settlers will never accept to give up the settlements and the Israeli state will never force the settlers to do something they don’t accept.

So the question is, if the EU is ready to put real pressure on Israel like they did on the South African Apartheid regime. And will they get the only superpower and hegemon USA to join their efforts.

Not to speak of my country, Germany, where most of the people don’t even know about the Palestinian cause and every opinion differing from the Israeli government's announcements is officially considered antisemitic.

But it’s a nice move and actually Spain and Ireland are the only countries to mitigate my shame for being European.
