The EU should put pressure on these legal points, because respect for international law and human rights is supposed to be a corner stone value.<br /><br />I've read that another ship has left for Gaza with Northern Ireland's first Nobel Peace prize winner on it. And Egypt has opened the border. Hopefully Israel will realise that the brutal dominance of the last 60 years does not and will not bring peace, and, while it has the right to defend itself, engagement and mutual respect are the best foundations of peace.Eurocentrichttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09439536905456080079noreply@blogger.com
