UK still supplies Israel with bombs and intel. From Cyprus. Also its just a cover to pretend they distance from the genocide which they dont. Actions are needed not virtue signalling which Europe is doing and pretending to care about Gaza.

Here I was thinking that the UK finally grew a spine. Disappointing.

Sadly I don't think I'll see that ever happen in my lifetime. Our government seems to love supporting murder and war crimes.

Wait for june 2-4 which is the UN conference for a two state solution. I expect at least France will recognize palestine, maybe other countries will as well

Its worth nothing at this point and its only recognizing the collaborationist PA. Whats needed are hard sanctions and boycott and likely a peace keeping force to stop the genocide.

When has a peace keeping force stop a genocide?

The peacekeeping force in Cyprus has worked out fairly well. Not sure if you'd classify the violence there as genocide but it was at the very least ethnic cleansing. The interventions in the Balkans also largely succeeded in ending the wars there.

Congo in the Sixties?

WWII.

Those weren't peacekeepers. Peacekeepers are typically deployed to conflict zones to monitor ceasefires, implement peace settlements, and assist in humanitarian operations. Think Lebanon which didn't exactly work or Congo or Rwanda. Armies, on the other hand, are primarily tasked with fighting and winning wars, defending a nation's borders, and maintaining national security. US army or the Red Army wasn't peacekeepers.

Macron recently signalled he was planning to delay that because he only wants to recognise Palestine after Saudi Arabia and they don’t want to anymore

There are no freight flights from RAF Akrotiri to Israel from what I see.
Where are you getting your information from?

Conveniently they only started making these remarks once Trump and Netanyahu seemingly have had a fallout.

Do not be fooled. They are still supplying Israel with weapons and Intel. They are as guilt as the EU and america. Just because they now decided to cancel a trade deal doesn't mean shit about fuck

The EU doesn't send any weapons to Israel it's the member states that do
The__Hivemind_@reddit
What a stupid thing to say... It's the same thing dude!
ztuztuzrtuzr@reddit
Do you think that Ireland and the us are equally responsible?
The__Hivemind_@reddit
Yes. Both refuse to do anything to stop it and openly cooperate with others who send weapons. USA even sends weapons itself. Both are guilty, either by cooperation, association or silence

Why? Global south countries didn't suspend anything when russians invaded Ukraine to commit genocide of Ukrainians. So why should the west care about Gaza?
Fenton-227@reddit
Its important to note the UK has sought to avoid cutting ties with Israel for many months, despite pressure over trade ties and arms sales, and a change in government rhetoric. So anything the UK govt does will likely be minimal and temporary, if they can get away with it..
Still, I can't help but feel we are getting closer to a breaking point in Western-Israel ties. It's going to become impossible to justify continuing ties.
