Shipments of arms used in the conflict in Gaza should be stopped as part of a broader effort to find a political solution, French President Emmanuel Macron said on Saturday. France is not a major weapons provider for Israel, shipping military equipment worth 30 million euros ($33 million) last year, according to the defense ministry's annual arms exports report. "I think the priority today is to get back to a political solution (and) that arms used to fight in Gaza are halted. France doesn't ship any," Macron told France Inter radio.
Of course lol, France got screwed hard by the US from the AUKUS submarine deal. Now the French military industry is going to get destroyed with billions and billions of dollars of US weapons (read: military contracts) flooding Ukraine and Israel.

Thank you for pointing this out, I was only considering how recently Euros have come to terms with the likelihood non-NATO (or maybe even NATO who knows) Europe could eat a tactical nuke without serious repercussions which were previously implied.
I think one reason why Europe might be afraid of escalating tension in the Levant is that there could be millions of refugees fleeing the conflict zone who might end up in Europe, which is what they’re really afraid of given how politically and economically untenable it is for them to take in refugees. Social tensions will erupt, their economies will be placed under even worse strains. All these would benefit the US empire who seeks to control Europe though.
Despite being knee deep in reading about this I have zero notes about how Europe helps the US control immigration, kind of embarrassing that I am still on the "uhhh bad look, nuclear war?" bent in 2024 but it is what it is 🤕

This captures the bleakness of the situation in a nut shell, the US will create millions of refugees that will travel to Europe.
And of course knowing how hateful and violent the average euro is, the far right will win.
