And @teamlabouruk.bsky.social etc expect that their double standards and hypocrisy id accepted and not challenged, that international law is only for #Ukraine, not for non-white countries like #WesternSahara.
And then they complain Global South doesn't support Ukraine enough.
Look in the mirror.

Herzog in October 2023 declared that "There are no innocents in Gaza".
Half of Gaza's population consists of children.

And regarding suspension of military assistance, Germany makes up the supermajority of exports within Europe to Israel, but the UK is currently mired in an intense legal fight over whether or not to maintain its F-35 parts export license to Israel. Al-Haq demands that it cease.

Rumor is that France and the UK will announce new sanctions soon, but it is not clear what they will be or how extensive. Could be as minimalistic and symbolic as the UK's new wave two weeks ago, could be finally a sanctioning of Israeli ministers.

This editorial comes almost exactly two weeks before a high level conference at the United Nations where recognition of Palestine by some European countries could take place, as well as the June 23rd European Commission meeting where a presentation on Israel's violations of IHL will be given to EU.

e. For years, Israel’s European allies have turned a blind eye to the illegal settler expansion. [...] And with each new assault on Palestinian society, and suspected war crime, the notion of the western-backed international rules-based order becomes more hollow."
