Eight decades after the Holocaust, many European leaders are still struggling with the reality that they can no longer tell Jews where and how to live — or, for that matter, how to protect themselves. For some, it is proving to be an exceedingly difficult habit to break.

On May 19, 2025, President Emmanuel Macron of France, Prime Minister Keir Starmer of the U.K., and Prime Minister Mark Carney of Canada issued a joint communiqué warning, “If Israel does not cease the renewed military offensive and lift its restrictions on humanitarian aid, we will take further concrete actions in response.” Nor were they the only leaders who called on Israel to end its efforts to destroy Hamas, the genocidal terror group that calls for Israel’s destruction and rules Gaza with an iron fist.
