Classic Zionist deflection is their last recourse, it would seem. I suppose because of their loss of the narrative over their obvious genocide against the people of Palestine.
To the UK, France, Canada: thank you.
Don't forget Ireland!
And brave South Africa.
The UK have literally done fuck all though & this threat of sanctions is lip service to public opinion (+400,000 marched through London last weekend but you'd never know from British media!).
David Lammy, the foreign secretary said that he had suspended 29 of the 300+ arms contracts to ensure they wouldn't be used against civilians in Gaza.
He didn't specify our give any details about those contacts, just a vague bit of handwaving.
Now we know that the UK has flown+600 surveillance flights over Gaza since October 7th (from the still colonised Cyprus) & have passed that intel to the Israelis.
The state never does anything willingly & when it dies stood like this, it's purely performative.
