YES. We buy oil from Russia (indirectly), we've been arming the Saudis in Yemen for years, where the civil war has brought about famine, we cut our aid abroad, which means less humanitarian help in places like Sudan, we sell whole swathes of our institutions and businesses to China and are letting them build a new embassy and overlook their spy network, so we can make deals, in spite of its mass murder of the Uyghurs. So we could protest these atrocities, because we're complicit in them, but it's not fashionable. What do we get in exchange for selling 15% of the parts, which go into Israel's F35's? Intelligence from probably the best security service in the world, which helps foil terrorist plots on UK soil, like the one back in May. It's not like we're sending them RPGs in the mail. This isn't whatabouttery, it's just to highlight that it's never as binary as there being an all-out goodie and and all-out baddie. What is wrong is calling for the eradication of a race, whatever race that might be, and sharing a platform with those racist protagonists, whether it's pro palestine groups, or the EDL. If everyone on here is so distraught about Palestine, why has there not been a single march against Hamas? Everyone making their case for protesting here seems to think some of us are living under a rock or, worse still, aren't moved by the situation in Gaza. -

Our government doesn't make or sell any arms at all to anyone. -
This raises a lot of questions. Here are some of them. What do you mean by "a few" people? How many is "a few"? Do you think those few (and others) should also be protesting about every other area in the world where people are being oppressed? How would they do that? Is our government providing weapons to all these other countries for use in genocide? What is your evidence for your second paragraph? What do you mean by "genuine (but exclusive)" concerns about Israel?
