Ursula von der Leyen embodies the shocking and blatant double standards that have been displayed by the European Union. On the one hand, she is the most gung ho for arming, supporting, or whatever is necessary in terms of Ukraine being faced with a brutal and illegal invasion. She then stands beside Netanyahu as he embarks on what we can now see is a genocidal murderous massacre against the Palestinian people, the blood of whom she has on her hands for the position she took. She continues to defend the indefensible in the unwavering support for Israel and its so-called security when it is massacring people. When she visited here, I pointed out that this was the Ursula von der Leyen who had, as German defence minister, done arms deals no problem with Saudi Arabia. It is a brutal dictatorship; sell it arms. I honestly ask, given the disrepute into which she has brought the European Union regarding these things, should we not be saying publicly that she is not the person who should be leading the European condition and the European Union? She has brought the EU into disrepute, embodies those double standards and she should be removed from office and certainly not get another term.
