No more weapons for Is-is-rael
Looks like more countries are tired of death and destruction.

Belgian court rules Flanders government should stop transit of military equipment to Israel
>>
Associations lodged a complaint against the Flemish government in June after military equipment bound for Israel was discovered in the port of Antwerp.

A court in Belgium has ordered the Flemish government to stop the transit of military equipment to Israel, following the discovery of hardware in the port of Antwerp earlier this year.

The Court of First Instance in Brussels ordered the regional government to block the Antwerp shipment and prohibit any future transit of military equipment to Israel, which faces growing criticism in the West for its handling of the war in Gaza.

The judge also imposed a fine of €50,000 for any arms shipment sent to Israel.

The judgement came in response to a complaint lodged in June by four Flemish associations.

Speaking to Euronews, Lichen Ullmann, the coordinator of the Vredesactie movement, which was involved in the complaint, explained that the containers found in Antwerp "included pallets of tapered roller bearings, which are something used in tanks and armoured vehicles."

"They are shipped specifically to a company called Ashot Ashkelon in Ashdod in Israel, which is an exclusive supplier to the Israeli army of Merkava tanks, which are used in Gaza in the genocide," Ullmann added.

Belgium has banned arms exports to Israel since 2009, with the country's regions responsible for controlling the transit of weapons and their components.

So in other words, seeing as Belgium has prohibited the export of arms and their components since 2009, nothing has changed and nobody has taken up the latest leftist crusade?

Then again, courts actually enforcing the laws of the land instead of just going with the flow is something that is less and less common so I suppose there is some news in there

Slovenia, Spaine, Belgium are against it. Those are 3 nations from the EU and more might follow. France is recognizing Palestine as a country too.

Belgium has been banning the sales of arms since 2009.


You can choose one, both can't be true at the same time.
Still trying to perpetuate the "genocide in Gaza" myth eh?

You didn't notice I'm the OP.

More hater = a certain someone ALWAYS shows up to try minimizing the efforts of others condemning the murders of innocents.
It's as if he has no life outside of doing this.
the only countries that matter in this though are the US and Germany, both of which continue to provide Israel with weapons and armaments
Look, another one above my comments^ lol
Haters gonna hate

Funny how they cannot possibly say the truth, so claim it's a myth

Wow. Europe's push back against Israel really is paltry.
