The US persecuted Assange, not the EU. The rest was pure politics, because no country would cause a diplomatic incident over Assange.

So the EU obeys the US which is authoritarian?

What are you talking about? There is a constant coverage on Gaza even with updates of the kids killed by Israel.

Pray tell if you believe Hamas raped anyone on October 7 by the way.

Only Germany has a stronger stance on Israel, probably due to the large presence of Jews in the country.

You are misinformed. There hasn't been a large Jewish population in Germany since the Holocaust, and attributing Germany's support for Israel to an imagined one sounds, frankly, a bit antisemitic.

There are many EU countries with more Jews per capita than Germany. Less than 0.2% of Germany's population is Jewish, and less than 1% of Jews in the world live in Germany. 60% of Jews in Germany live in a single city (Berlin). Over 80% speak Russian, having immigrated there from former soviet states.

German politicians often say that, due to the Holocaust, support for Israel's security is part of Germany's "reason of state"; they tend to avoid discussing the Zionist view that Jews choosing to live in Germany today should also really move to Israel.

The West is guilty of regime changes in some places, that’s true,

Man, you sure love going "yes that's true and I have no counter point, but I'm going to declare that it doesn't count"
