How Did Britain's Foreign Secretary Think Suspending Arms to Israel Was a Good Idea?
(Daily Express-UK) Angela Epstein - British Foreign Secretary David Lammy has announced a clampdown on arms sales to Israel. British arms account for only 1% of Israeli imports. The messaging propagates the falsehood that Israel is in breach of international humanitarian law (when it actually goes to great lengths to uphold it). Little wonder the decision will give succor to the barbarians of Hamas who tortured, beheaded, raped and burned hundreds of innocents on Oct. 7. Here in Britain, Lammy's messaging is bound to fuel antisemitism - legitimizing acts of Jew-hatred which hit record levels in 2023 and experienced a grim surge in 2024. In what corner of his misguided mind could the impact of his decision play out in any other way? This is the same man who previously nominated Jeremy Corbyn as Labour leader. He has also restored funding to UNRWA, a UN agency that had housed Hamas terrorists. He has now given the green light to those who indulge in raging, violent, pro-Palestinian protest in the UK by suggesting right is on their side where arms to Israel are concerned.
