Using the word ‘controversial’ is problematic. It injects the idea that the definition could be perceived as good for some and bad for others, as if it is a matter of opinion, while it is objectively wrong and immoral.

Israel must have kompromat on damn near every still breathing politician in the West, on god.

If anything, I’d think working more closely with Israel will provoke blowback attacks, rather than increasing security. It’s much easier for ISIL to turn some EU citizen into a suicide attacker when they can point to their own government openly collaborating with a genocidal fascist ethnostate.

As far as I can see, the EU Conmission is Israel.
