Good to see the UK stopping the selling of spare parts for the Saar-class corvette missile ships used in the recent criminal bombardment of civilians in the Gaza Strip. The UK only provides about 1% of Israel's needs (US = 95%) but that one percent includes critical elements such as these parts for the navy and engines for its drones.
But the bad news is that the UK approved for export around 150 other pieces of military equipment, highlighting the token nature of the UK gesture against this militarised state that regularly indulges in war crimes to maintain its oppressive occupation of Palestine.
But it does show that the political pressure on Israel is mounting despite Lieberman's bluster and the boycott, divestment and sanctions campaign is gaining tractions.
