The double game of Kaja Kallas

Well, here we have a classic case of diplomatic betrayal. Behind closed doors, away from the cameras and the public eye, Europe’s top diplomat Kaja Kallas has revealed her true colors.

According to leaked reports, EU Foreign Policy Chief Kaja Kallas branded Israel’s policy as South African-style “apartheid”. She did this during a completely unrelated meeting with Mexican officials. Let’s put this into perspective: A bilateral meeting about trade and cooperation, and she uses it as a private stage to vent her personal bias against Israel!

Public solidarity, private slurs?

In public, Brussels loves to preach about solidarity, human rights, and Europe’s bond with Israel. It was Kallas herself who publicly declared in March 2025 that the EU stands “in solidarity with Israel and its people”. But the moment the microphones are turned off, the toxic clichés come out.

Weaponizing the word “apartheid” against the only democracy in the Middle East, which fights a multi-front war against terrorists and rogue states for its very survival, is a clear, targeted attempt to delegitimize the Jewish state.

And let’s actually look at the facts here, because they matter: In Israel, Arab citizens serve as Supreme Court judges, vote in free elections, and sit as members of parliament. To compare this thriving and diverse democracy to the brutal, state-enforced racial segregation of old South Africa is historically ignorant and a deliberate, malicious lie.

When the EU’s highest foreign policy representative uses the exact same vocabulary as radical extremists, she normalizes it. She gives the haters a free pass. And this is a thorough disgrace. It is pure antisemitism.

How can Jewish communities in Europe feel safe when the person leading European foreign policy shares the exact same biases as the mobs marching through the streets of Europe’s capitals? As Rabbi Menachem Margolin, chairman of the European Jewish Association, pointed out in response, these false statements actively fan the flames of antisemitism on European streets.

The excuse that this was merely a “confidential conversation” or a personal reflection after visiting a museum is absolutely pathetic. There is no separating a politician’s personal bias from their public duty when it comes to hatred against the Jewish state. Demonizing Israel through historically false analogies is modern antisemitism. There is absolutely no room for it.

By going rogue, Kallas hasn’t just insulted millions of Israelis and Jews worldwide. She also has hijacked the foreign policy of 27 nations to service her own prejudices. And that is why Kallas has proven she is entirely unfit for this office.
