Europe, Finland – The President of the EU Commission, Ursula von der Leyen (EPP), recently visited Finland to support the National Coalition Party’s campaign for the EU elections and strengthen further ties with the incumbent Prime Minister of Finland, Petteri Orpo of the National Coalition Party. Their unified message to the world is that they stand in support of Israel and its atrocities in Gaza and the West Bank.
Despite knowing better, some Finns mistakenly confuse Palestinian civilians with the militia. A lack of education on the Middle East and Palestine fuels this misconception. The close association between Finland and the U.S. further hampers understanding, as the U.S. openly supports Israel by providing it with arms, ammunition, and technology. Israel then uses these resources discriminately, targeting unarmed civilians in the Middle East. That is the truth that Finns are unwilling to acknowledge, let alone admit.
Finland’s message to the world is clear: Finland supports Israel and its genocidal practices in Gaza and the West Bank, regardless of Palestinian suffering.
