Is it better than nothing though? Or is it just trying to placate the domestic outcry?
It certainly is better than signing new armament deals with them. It may be a facade for their voters, but I'll take a symbolic gesture where the issue is talked about instead of criminalizing things like "Palestinian Action" (as they do in the UK) any day.
That's true; doing too little is definitely better than actively doing more harm like some countries (such as the UK) are doing.
