Netanyahu condemns ‘shameful’ UK suspension of some Israel arms sales

Wasn't it 30/350 licenses?

And Israel likes to cite these 1200 deaths while neglecting the fact that they've killed over 40000 Palestinians in retaliation and taken the opportunity to plunder the land.

The only thing shameful is that the UK continues to turn a blind eye.

lol what does Netanyahu know of shame ?

There was an interesting comment in the previous post about this. Whilst conspiracy nonsense is often quite common here on Lemmy I do feel in this case it's pretty accurate of what's going on.

Lammy and his French counterpart were recently in Israel having high level meetings with the Israeli government. No doubt the topic of on going support from the UK & France came up and no doubt Lammy would have mentioned that it doesn't look good politically in the UK to still have these licenses for arms to kill Palestinians. The US is being particularly quiet on this one given the election but a Trump team member recently said something to the effect of "The UK can get fucked if it stops selling arms to Israel... I tell you hwat".

So, to me, this really does feel like the UK trying to balance politics at home and abroad. Even the way Lammy sheepishly apologised for suspending a tiny fraction of arms sales to Israel. Just enough to placate the voters at home whilst trying not to damage inward investment from countries that fully support Israel's campaign (i.e. the US and Israel itself).

I hope he chokes on his food and no one knows the Heimlich maneuver.

That will teach him. He can only have most of the guns, but not all of the guns.
