Ursula von der Leyen's EU Commission is enabling genocide -- refusing to
suspend trade or uphold the EU's own human rights laws. 

Now members of the European Parliament are backing a motion of no
confidence, and if 26 more MEPs sign on, we can trigger a vote that could
bring down von der Leyen's Commission and finally force the EU to act.

John,

Our friend and colleague Mariam Abu Dagga was killed in Gaza. She was
reporting from Nasser Hospital when an Israeli missile hit. Minutes later,
another strike killed her and the rescue team.

Ursula von der Leyen’s European Commission is enabling this horror. For 2
years, despite evidence of genocide, the EU has refused to suspend trade
deals or uphold its own human rights laws.

Now we have a concrete way to change that.

A motion of no confidence is on the table, and 46 MEPs have already backed
it. We need at least 26 more before Thursday morning.

If enough MEPs sign the motion, we can trigger a vote that could bring
down von der Leyen’s Commission, and finally force the EU to act.

Von der Leyen’s Commission.

Von der Leyen’s European Commission is not just deadly for Gaza — it’s
devastating for Europe:

* It signed a EU-US trade deal designed to please Donald Trump. It could
cost every European €700/year, funnelling wealth straight to the US,
killing the EU Green Deal with $750 billion in dirty energy purchases,
and handing the US $600 billion in EU investment with no reciprocity.
* It failed to act to prevent genocide in Gaza, despite a clear legal
obligation under EU and international law. 
* Now her Commission faces legal action before the European Court of
Justice for “passive complicity” in war crimes and violating the
EU-Israel Association Agreement.
* It pushed forward the EU–Mercosur trade deal — a pact that burns the
Amazon to boost profits for Germany’s car industry, ignoring
Indigenous rights, food safety, and climate warnings. The deal
bypassed Member States and parliaments, triggering fierce opposition
from farmers, unions, and civil society across Europe and Latin
America.
* Ursula von der Leyen is at the heart of the Pfizergate scandal,
accused of negotiating a massive vaccine contract with Pfizer by text
message — and then letting those messages disappear. Both the European
Court and the Ombudsman have condemned this as a serious breach of
democratic accountability.

This isn’t diplomacy. It’s betrayal — of European citizens, international
law, and human dignity.

And MEPs don’t have to accept it. They can vote to censure the Commission
and end Von der Leyen’s rule — but only if we raise our voices now. By
voting no confidence in this Commission, they can end the EU’s involvement
in genocide — and restore the EU’s legal and moral credibility.

[ [link removed] ]Tell MEPs: back the no confidence vote against Von der Leyen’s
Commission.

Will we allow a European Commission that serves arms dealers, fossil fuel
giants, and genocidal regimes? Or will we draw the line? This vote of no
confidence could be a turning point — for Gaza, for Europe, and for the
soul of the EU — but only if enough of us demand it. 

Mariam’s final message to us was this:  “Best of luck to you all <3”

We won’t let her down.
