That'll show them!! Netanyahu is shaking rn. Honestly fuck Macron
Obligatory screw Macaroni. But also the weapons industry is Israel's main business. Banning them from one the largest naval conventions is a pretty big deal.
But also the weapons industry is Israel’s main business.
And also one of France main business, after Russia stopped much of their arms exports due to Ukraine war, France became second biggest arms exporter in the world. So while it isn't much, it's not completely insignificant.
I'm not sure what you're mad about. Fuck Macron but this is real progress.
I'm not mad, I'm just trying to express how little this accomplishes besides pr. Maybe you've forgotten how he was the first to ban Palestinian flags and protests, deeming them as terrorist.
They actually get contracts by showing stuff off at these shows. This will cost Israel money.
He did? He's been one of the more vocal European leaders about Palestine so I wonder where the change of heart came from.
He wants votes from Muslims.
Wait, antiimmigrant, islamophobe, buddy of fascists Macaron wants votes from muslims? Did he fell out of Kopmala coconut tree or something?
Not being invited to a trade show isn't quite the same as blockading all arms sales & suspending all diplomatic relations.
It doesn't even qualify for "the bare fucking minimum"
