Politicians & Arms Sales - why is the law NEVER applied here?

David Cameron will not back down on supplying arms to Israel & regardless of the legal advice, its because he has nothing to fear.
Right, so as far as the ongoing atrocity in Gaza goes, often people here in the UK will be asking themselves well what can we do, what change can we affect here, and that might be by refusing to buy good from Israel for example, protesting and demonstrating against it and indeed against our government who are as we know, still supplying arms to Israel. But no matter how much we kick off, it doesn’t seem to matter, no matter how many times a newspaper, or a mouthpiece like me might point to the violations of the Genocide Convention, or the Geneva Conventions the government doesn’t seem to be perturbed by this.
Then there is this most recent debacle over legal advice the government have received on these matters which they refuse to publish, but claim they are acting within international law over, but which becomes harder to believe following leaked audio from a Tory MP implying otherwise. Why is it that our politicians think these rules don’t matter to us and indeed we could look at Israel’s own government in the same light here and it comes down to the very simple but very sad fact that they don’t actually fear any repercussions for what they are doing, because prosecutions of such acts never seem to happen. What is the point of international law if it is never upheld?
Right, so our unelected Foreign Secretary David Cameron has been to the US and from there made an absolutely rancid declaration that despite audio leaks regarding legal advice the government had received implying that that advice stated that Israel was in breach of international law, that the government would continue to claim it was following international law by continuing arms sales to the regime and expect us to keep on trusting them on that because that legal advice was not going to be published. Nothing quite screams honesty and transparency in government quite like covering up the very legal advice everyone wants to see and convention be damned when it comes to such legal advice when we deserve to know if our elected government is engaged in aiding and abetting in genocide in our names does it?
His remarks have been reported as:
‘The latest assessment leaves our position on export licenses unchanged…The overall judgement is those export licenses will remain open and continue.’
I’m really not quite sure how much more damage to Gaza needs be done to actually stop those arms licenses or exports especially when all of this comes in the aftermath of some 33,000 dead Gazans, some of the ordinance of which was almost certainly supplied by us and closer to home those 3 British workers being killed by the IDF whilst trying to deliver aid, allegedly targeted by a drone who’s engine was developed here in the UK, the company who designed it have been acquired by Israeli arms firm Elbit Systems.
Be it Palestinian life or foreign national life, there seems to be little value placed on it by Israel if these people are in Gaza and by extension those pledged to continue the supply of arms to them.Show more

►ABOUT ME:
Hi, I'm Damien Willey. I'm a former welder, but now I'm a writer, blogger, vlogger and presenter and interviewer with Socialist Telly (Please do go and visit what we all get up to on https://www.youtube.com/c/SocialistTelly)
I'm an unpaid carer for my disabled wife and daughter and as such we know all too well the difficulties that associated with that living in Tory Britain and I personally believe the answer lies in socialism.
This channel, along with my other social media act as outlets to push back against that, to demand better of our politicians and leaders, to pull apart the media spin that supports them and the way the UK is run and to give a voice, loud as mine is, to the voiceless.
