The American Shadow

The EU is frozen. Gaza casualty simulation, Torino. [Joel Schalit]

In the third edition of Gaza War Blues, Battleground Editor-in-Chief Joel Schalit and journalist William Noah Glucroft return to the Mideast conflict, and why the European Commission failed to follow through on its threat to suspend its 2001 Association Agreement with Israel. It’s not a new story. For Schalit and Glucroft, the pendulum inevitably swings back to the United States and Brussels’ lack of independence from Washington. Not just in security affairs, but in foreign policy matters, too.
