Left-Wing UK Government Suspends Dozens of Arms Export Licences to Israel
Breitbart ^ | 09/02/2024 | Kurt Zindulka

Posted on 09/02/2024 12:39:23 PM PDT by ChicagoConservative27

The left-wing Labour Party government in Britain announced Monday that it will be suspending dozens of arms export licences to Israel over concerns of UK weaponry being used to violate human rights in Gaza.

Foreign Secretary David Lammy told the House of Commons that the British government will be suspending 30 of its 350 arms export licences to Israel, including UK-made components used in military drones, helicopters, and aircraft, including fighter jets used by the Israelis.

The move comes after months of protests by left-wing activists and a two-month review conducted by the Foreign Office, The Guardian reports. While the review did not find that British arms exports had contributed to destruction in Gaza, the government found that there was a “clear risk” that they could be used in violations of international humanitarian laws.

One day, Israel may find itself totally surrounded by very dangerous enemies, and with no real allies anywhere.

Israel is going to have to develop all of their own weapons. That’s the reality.

Foreign Secretary David Lammy ... Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu refuses to even meet with this dude... That’s how much of an anti-Semite Lammy is.

And everybody thought Jeremy Corbin was out of the Labour party... A party formed in his own image. Sir Keir Starmer is a hypocrite and his numbers are dropping faster than a hot potato. Too late now... They’re stuck with this left of loony leader for another five years.

“... these people” are the reason Israel has a “Palestinian” problem at all. It all goes back to WWI and the League of Nations that came about because of that war. The League of Nations decided to provide the Jews their Homeland once more, however, they also promised the same land to the Bedouin peoples living in that same land if they helped to defeat the Ottoman Empire. Oops!

My observation is that the left in GB has always been anti Jew.

Elected by 20% of the electorate. Britain’s entire political class sucks.

“same land”

WIKI

Whereas the Principal Allied Powers have also agreed that the Mandatory should be responsible for putting into effect the declaration originally made on November 2nd, 1917, by the Government of His Britannic Majesty, and adopted by the said Powers, in favour of the establishment in Palestine of a national home for the Jewish people, it being clearly understood that nothing should be done which might prejudice the civil and religious rights of existing non-Jewish communities in Palestine, or the rights and political status enjoyed by Jews in any other country

Whereas recognition has thereby [i.e. by the Treaty of Sèvres] been given to the historical connection of the Jewish people with Palestine, and to the grounds for reconstituting their national home in that country;

On my gaming board (Rail Nation), we don’t talk politics but...a player said he’s a teacher in the UK going thru teacher training and is ready for the kids to begin.

I commented that from a distance, some trends in the UK looked troubling. Like I said the focus is not politics but I thought he might offer some insight into what’s happening in the UK.

He replied: “Elon Musk talked crap about UK last month. If anything, UK is on a better track than it has been for the last 10 years - at least we have moderate leadership for a change. The economy isn’t great but I can say the same for many other countries.”

Uh...moderate leadership, yeah. Since we don’t squabble over politics, I just let it go. I get plenty of politics everywhere else.
