Cork - Event Notice Thursday January 01 1970 'Europe's Alliance With Israel' Book Launch & Talk![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() This is the Cork launch of David Cronin's new book: Europe's Alliance With Israel In carefully crafted official statements, the European Union presents itself as an honest broker in the Middle East. In reality, however, the EU’s 27 governments have been engaged in a long process of accommodating Israel’s occupation of Palestinian territories. "A remarkable book; it leaves me breathless"- Robert Fisk, The Independent "It seems to many that Israel is above international law. This important book explores the complex political ties that have prevented European countries from holding Israel to account. It is essential reading for all who care about justice and the rule of law. I hope David Cronin is prepared for the abuse he and his book will incur. All the more reason to buy it, read it and take the discussion forward."- Ken Loach, award winning film director About the author: David Cronin is the Brussels correspondent of Inter Press Service news agency.
