In reality, however, the EU's 27 governments have been engaged in a long process of accommodating Israel's occupation of Palestinian territories.\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\nJournalist David Cronin interrogates the relationship and its outcomes. A recent agreement for 'more intense, more fruitful, more influential co-operation' between the EU and Israel has meant that Israel has become a member state of the Union in all but name. Cronin shows that rather than using this relationship to encourage Israeli restraint, the EU has legitimised actions such as the ill-treatment of prisoners and the Gaza invasion.\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\nConcluding his revealing and shocking account, Cronin calls for a continuation and deepening of international activism and protest to halt the EU's slide into complicity.","brand":"Pluto Press","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":42958133362943,"sku":"9780745330655","price":43.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0452\/0886\/2873\/files\/9780745330655_s600x595.jpg?v=1779891986","url":"https:\/\/massivebookshop.com\/de\/products\/9780745330655","provider":"MASSIVE BOOKSHOP","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
