The toll is staggering: more than one million fighting casualties, with 15,000 civilians killed and 35,000 wounded. Europe has poured its anger and support behind Ukraine, insisting that a sovereign nation under unprovoked attack must be defended at all costs. This moral stance has become the defining pillar of European foreign policy.

And yet, this stance exposes Europe’s profound hypocrisy.

On October 7, Israel suffered the single worst attack against the Jewish people since the Nazi Holocaust. Hamas terrorists, with brutality that many times even outstripped the Nazis, raped women, murdered children, and slaughtered entire families. It was not a battlefield clash; it was barbarism unleashed on a sacred holiday against unarmed civilians.
