How are they technically allies? Israel is not in eu or nato.

If you mean broadly, western-minded, yes but slovenia expressed some uncomfortable positions for israel lately

> yes but slovenia expressed some uncomfortable positions for Israel lately

hasn't everyone though ? Does that mean Isreal is in the clear to interfere ?

> Israel is not in eu or nato. No of course not, but there is an alignment technically, I guess the western minded.

Ireland is not a NATO member but there would be some backlash from hearing Isreal was interfearing in elections.

No, most of the EU has not condemned the atrocities in Gaza. Slovenia did, it recognized Palestine and banned weapon sales

It's also not a new tactic. During his '68 presidential campaign against Lyndon Johnson, Nixon convinced the South Vietnamese to not engage in peace talks with the Communists to weaken Johnson's campaign. The war went on for 7 more years and killed hundreds of thousands of Americans and Vietnamese.

When it comes to IL most of the EU's countries leadership strategy comes down to getting willingly fucked and getting their population fucked for literally no benefit, just so that elites will not be temporarily called "anti-semitic".

It's nuts. Israel's idea of being an ally is fucking all their allies over, with useless war they can't win but that will erase and reverse within a few weeks all benefit countries like mine (Czechia) ever derived from a bilateral trade with them, just based on increased energy prices alone. (Compared to Slovenia, it's well deserved here, though. Czechs should suffer, to learn.)

This little stuff, like meddling in elections, is nothing, compared to big effects of IL state policy.

Israel doesn't have allies aside from US, they nurture a herd of masochist sycophant states.
