Just A Thought

 
Since 2015, the UK has licensed at least £474 million worth of military exports to Israel, including components for combat aircrafts, missiles, tanks, technology, small arms and ammunition. The UK provides approximately 15% of the components in the F-35 stealth bomber aircraft currently being used in Gaza.
In December the U.S. sold nearly 14,000 rounds of tank ammunition worth more than $106 million to Israel which comes in addition to the annual $3.8 billion aid it sends Israels way every year.
Pointing to the 28,000 dead and Joe Biden’s comment last week that Israel’s military action in Gaza was 'over the top', the EU Foreign Affairs Representative Josep Fontelles came out with the line aimed at the American President: 'Well, if you believe that too many people are being killed, maybe you
should provide less arms in order to prevent so many people having been killed.'
The UK Foreign Secretary, David Cameron, has said this week that Israel is in breach of international law which comes hot on the heels of the highest Court on the planet, The International Court of Justice, agreeing that Israel does have a case to answer for what they are inflicting on the Palestinians does come under the banner of Genocide.
Israeli Prime Minister, Benjamin Netanyahu (or that asshole as Biden has apparently referred to him on several occasions) has said that Israel are doing all they can to prevent civilian deaths although bombing and obliterating block of flats, schools, refugee centres and places where people are sheltering doesn't strike me as making that much of an effort.
The Israeli government also point out that is Hamas who are to blame for the civilian casualties because they put civilians in places that are targets but as these targets seem to be any built-up area in Gaza, and Palestinians do insist on living in the built-up areas, the Israeli logic is that the Palestinian's
should only live in the areas where no one lived to avoid being in the target areas.
The effort to avoid casualties has been so huge they’ve managed to keep the number of women and children they have murdered down to 17,000 so maybe as has been suggested, if Israel ARE trying to not kill civilians, America, the UK and all those other ignorant nations still giving Israel the green
light to carry on it's genocide and providing the weapons for them to do it, maybe they should keep their weapons to themselves until the results on not slaughtering tens of thousands of innocent people show a considerable improvement.
