I'm confused now, your link illustrates the size of exports quite clearly?

CPR Dave said "Our government doesn't make or sell any arms at all to anyone". His link highlights that the gvmt has issued licences to UK companies who manufacture and export components and software to other nations. It's not like the government has a bomb making department and is shipping them straight to Israel.

His link also illustrates that UK sales to other nations make us complicit in plenty of other unpleasant conflicts. But this hasn't given rise to other mass demonstrations. 

I doubt anyone on here is a supporter of Netanyahu and his cronies, but it's always worth bearing in mind that Israel has been instrumental in keeping us safe from Iran, who orchestrated this wave of the middle east conflict. But there are, of course, no anti Iran protests, etc etc etc etc etc etc etc

?????

Obviously there isn't a weapon making factory at Westminster. 

And your response to my other questions?

They aren't really relevant. 

This protest is purportedly against our government's involvement arming Israel.

Our government doesn't sellweapons and Israel is no longer at war with Hamas.

So the protest is pointless. The only reason to attend now is to intimidate / antagonise / express hatred towards Jews.
