The UK government approved $169m worth of military equipment to Israel in the three months that followed the Labour government’s partial suspension of arms exports over concerns they could be used unlawfully in Gaza.
Export data released on Thursday shows that 20 different licences in categories such as military aircraft, radars, targeting equipment, and explosive devices, were approved between October and December 2024.
Arms campaigners say the three-month total is more than what was approved altogether under the Tory government between 2020 and 2023, and said the increase was “truly shocking”.
“This is the Labour government aiding and abetting Israel’s genocide in Gaza,” said Emily Apple, media coordinator for the UK-based Campaign Against Arms Trade.
Just a PSA but @BrainInABox@lemmy.ml is a troll. In case you wanted a chat about real solutions and policy.
This guy is a self admitted troll who got mad at me for saying genocide denial is bad and is now stalking me around Lemmy
Trolling. No one denied such or was calling you out for that.
You are indeed trolling, hence the following me around and lying about me. Days later and you’re still so mad about being told genocide denial is bad.
Mate, a couple of comments down from here you’re denying genocide of Uighurs.
Are you going to start whining about me denying white genocide in South Africa too?
Here again with the denying of Uighur genocide. Vile little fascist.
Ok Elon, tell me more about how this South African White Genocide.
Going to start telling me how I’m a genocide denier if I don’t believe Ukraine is genociding ethnic Russians too?
Whatabout, whatabout, whatabout, is that all you have, Adolf?
I never mentioned South Africa, that’s a strawman you made up.
You, on the other hand, have explicitly denied Uighur genocide. I wouldn’t be surprised if you denied Russia genociding Ukrainians, too.
