Popular opinion tends to think of Europe as being one of the main critics of Israeli acts against the Palestinians, yet Cronin’s meticulous account in his book, which he overviewed in his presentation, is that the reality is actually starkly different.  Highlighting security, economic and cultural co-operation in an exhaustive discussion of the topic, Cronin provides incontrovertible evidence that the European Union is complicit in occupation and human rights abuses on a grand scale as perpetrated by Israeli forces and their government.

Cronin took questions from the attendees and signed copies of his book.  Watch the video here.

Signed copies of the book Europe’s Alliance with Israel Aiding the Occupation, published by Pluto Press can be bought from the IHRC website here.
