Europe’s shame
Giorgio Agamben, Quodlibet, March 5, 2026
A country was attacked without any real reason and treacherously, while a sham negotiation was going on, and its spiritual head was murdered. European Union — i.e., that illegitimate organisation which bears such name — not only failed to condemn a blatant violation of international law, committed by two countries which appear to have lost all sense of self and responsibility, but also enjoined Iranian people to cease defending themselves.
