Wikipedia Commons<\/p><\/div>\n<blockquote><p><em>Irish Nobel Laureate Mairead Maguire, Dr John Reuwer of Doctors against Genocide, and Bisan Owda of Gaza Call for Peace, Humanity and Harmony.<\/em><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p><em>11 May 2026\u00a0<\/em>&#8211;\u00a0Over the last five years, the world has been rocked by several wars in Ukraine, Iran, Sudan, and S. Lebanon while Palestine, Gaza in particular and increasingly, the Occupied Palestine, in general, has become Israel\u2019s killing fields.<\/p>\n<p>Amidst talks of the end of the Trans-Atlantic Alliance which has, over the last three decades, outlived its original purpose of containing the Soviet Union, key actors in Europe \u2013 UK, Germany, and France, in that order of belligerence, are reviving their centuries-old fear and loathing of Russia. Consequently, the rearmament of the British Isles under the wildly unpopular Prime Ministership of Keir Starmer, Germany under Banker-cum-Chancellor Frederick Merz and the European Union under Right Wing German politician Ursula von der Layen are by all indications pushing for a new Europe-wide militarism aimed at the Russian Federation.<\/p>\n<p>As a matter of fact, Starmer is correctly perceived as the Zionist-puppet and pseudo-Labour politician who had both as Opposition Leader and Prime Minister, as an active collaborator, defended and supported Israel\u2019s ongoing genocide in Gaza since 7 October jail break in 2023.<\/p>\n<p>In this post, FORSEA is bringing together three perspectives on both European\u2019s increasing bellicosity, in words and deeds, and Israel\u2019s ongoing genocide, with unconditional backing by much of the Western powers, most importantly USA and the European Union, the apartheid pariah state\u2019s main trading partner.<\/p>\n<p>On 9 May, the anti-Fascist, Victory Day across the formerly Nazi-occupied Europe including in the Balkans and Russia, Northern Irish peace activist and the 1976 Nobel Peace Laureate Mairead Maguire released her video-recorded call to peace among all European nations. She expressed empathy for both Russians and Ukrainian peoples who have suffered ravages of the unfinished military conflicts between the two former Soviet republics while reminding the world that the 27\/28 million Soviet people perished as the result of Nazi Germany\u2019s crime of aggression and, retroactively, multiple genocides against many a different identity-based European populations (including Jews, Sinta and Roma, Jehovah Witnesses, LGBTQs, disabled Germans, Soviet POWs, Poles, Partisans and Leftists of all stripes).<\/p>\n<p>As a devout Christian and a life-long non-violence advocate, Mairead calls for treating different national communities as part of the larger European family.
