They will be if they ignore any illegality found in the review they say is currently in process.Labour complicit in war crimes?
British Foreign Office diplomat Mark Smith resigns over Israel arms sales
The official resigned over arms sales to Israel, saying the UK government "may be complicit in war crimes".www.bbc.co.uk
The question for me is will the review be completed before there is an end to the fighting, and will they still implement a ban if it finds Israel to not be compliant but the fighting is over?
Politically a very difficult situation, Israel is almost certainly commiting war crimes, but is also very powerful in lobbying Western Governments, and influencing the Jewish opinion in Western countries.
I don't want to say Israel is paranoid, because it faces real threats, but because of that, it is quick to react to any criticism, won't accept any criticism, and goes on the offensive to tackle criticism.
