On June 23rd, Michele Piras, the European President of the League of Parliamentarians for Palestine, embarked on a mission to Germany as part of his ongoing efforts to build a strong network in Europe. During his brief visit, Piras held a crucial meeting with Mr. Shir Ever, a university professor in Heidelberg and the German coordinator of the BDS campaign, to discuss the challenging situation in Germany and explore avenues for collaboration.

The meeting covered several pressing points, including the adverse working conditions faced by pro-Palestinian MPs and activists in Germany, the alarming rise of a discriminatory campaign, and the imperative need for an international network to achieve tangible results. Mr. Ever, with his intriguing background, shared his personal journey of being born in Jerusalem and leaving "Israel" due to his strong opposition to the occupation and apartheid policies.

One sensitive topic that emerged during the discussion was the Eurocentric legacy that still influences the democratic and progressive pro-Palestinian side. "It is indeed a significant challenge," stated Michele Piras, "that requires extensive and patient efforts to shift the cultural approach and unequivocally acknowledge the Palestinians' inherent right to self-determination."

Another focal point of the meeting was the "Two-State Policy," a cherished ideal among many European MPs. However, it was recognized that this policy has been rendered practically infeasible due to the ongoing occupation, the religious far-right Israeli government's stance, and the stance of the international community.

Mr. Shir Ever expressed his willingness to initiate a collaborative endeavor in Germany, leveraging his network and seeking to mobilize parliamentarians who are genuinely committed to addressing the Palestinian issue. This marks just the initial step in a nation profoundly marked by its history, including the tragic Holocaust, and influenced by Israeli pressures, consequently exhibiting considerable reluctance in engaging with the Palestinian cause.

The journey towards a fair and just resolution for Palestine necessitates perseverance, open dialogue, and collaboration. Through ongoing efforts to forge partnerships, the League of Parliamentarians for Palestine endeavors to transcend national boundaries and ensure that the plight of the Palestinian people receives the attention and support it warrants.

As the European President of the League of Parliamentarians for Palestine continues his mission across Europe, the collective voice of European parliamentarians united in their commitment to the Palestinian cause grows stronger. It is through such concerted efforts that the League aims to challenge the status quo, promote justice, and ultimately bring about a positive transformation for Palestinians in their quest for self-determination and human rights.

In addition to the aforementioned discussions, one particularly sensitive topic arose during the meeting - the military cooperation between Israel and European countries. The focus was not limited to military training but also extended to the technology of spy drones, which have been utilized in Palestine against the Palestinian people and are being sold in Europe.

The involvement of European nations in such military collaborations generated a complex and contentious dynamic between Europeans and Palestinians. The concern lingers that these inhumane weapon systems could potentially be deployed within Europe, casting a shadow of suspicion over their use and impact
