The Left in the European Parliament's video: All people have rights by virtue of being human - @claredalyirl reveal hypocrisy of the EU shorts

"Human rights became weaponized: a stick to beat our so-called geopolitical enemies. And every plenary we confer useful victims to demonize our rivals, while the victims that we create are never mentioned. And as my colleagues said, perish the thought that the crimes of apartheid Israel against Palestinians would ever be mentioned. The Syrians tortured and murdered by US sanctions. The truth is, all people have rights by virtue of being human. But in here, some are more human than others. The only country mentioned in the report is Ukraine. Why? There are unspeakable horrors taking place in Ukraine. They do deserve to be referenced, but little distinguishes them from the horrors elsewhere except the color of their skin and how much use we can make of them. And that's the truth about EU human rights policy. It's not authentic. It's just another facade for European chauvinism. A cloak for murder and colonialism.
