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.
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.
Out of interest, who was it that trained shitlibs like you to chant “whatabout!” like a trained seagull, regardless of whether it actually has anything to do with the discussion at hand? I haven’t responded “whatabout” to anything.
Oh sorry, I didn’t realise you weren’t familiar with the concept of “analogy”.
Yeah, just like I explicitly deny genocide of white South Africans and ethnic Russians. Going to cry about that too?
And I wouldn’t be surprised if you denied the US genocided Iraq and North Korea.
