The British government says it is suspending free trade negotiations with Israel and leveling new sanctions targeting West Bank settlers as it criticizes Israel’s military actions in Gaza.
The U.K. suspended free trade talks with Israel on Tuesday and hit West Bank settlers with sanctions, less than a day after vowing “concrete actions” if Israel didn’t stop its new military offensive in Gaza.
“what about the Soviet Union?” Is not an argument or really related to anything we were discussing
We’re discussing a war where both parties were heavily supported by the two opposing major powers of the Cold War. I understand that you see it as a sign of defeat that Israel was supported by the US yet don’t see a problem with the Arab side being supported by the SU? How is the help from the US to Israel a sign of weakness, but the help from the SU to the Arabs not?
I trust the primary sources on Wikipedia more than an op-ed in the New York times.
The primary source for this version is Hersh’s ‘The Samson Option: Israel’s Nuclear Arsenal and American Foreign Policy.’ from 1991. Yet, a video interview released to the public in 2013 with Arnan Azaryahu, advisor to minister Galili close to Meir, disputed these claims and instead said that Meir opposed Dayan’s pressure to arm them. Now, I can’t tell which one the versions is the factual truth but my point is that neither can you.
