Several European countries paused or restricted arms exports with Israel during its military action in Gaza.
The offensive was triggered by the Hamas-led attack on Israel on 7 October 2023, which killed about 1,200 people, while 251 others were taken to Gaza as hostages.
More than 72,330 people were then killed by Israeli military action Gaza - including 757 since the ceasefire began on 10 October 2025 - according to the territory’s Hamas-run health ministry.
fuck the bbc - I know I shouldn’t be surprised anymore but the audacity to say “well acktually Isntreal was provoked to kill tens of thousands of civilians in Gaza (or that’s what the evil Khamas health ministry wants you to believe)” in an article about it’s invasion of Lebanon is insane
why not mention how they’ve killed hundreds of people in Lebanon - during a supposed ceasefire with Iran - so even if all those people were Hezbollah (spoilers they ain’t) it still wouldn’t be justified
at least with the likes of Fox or GBNews you know they’re wackos from the start - the fact most British people are swayed to believe anything the bbc says is a crime against critical thought
I heard Lamborghini artillery and Balenciaga urban camos weren’t very good anyway.
No, but Leonardo is a pretty big defence company. For example, the deck gun on the Isearli corvettes is a Leonardo gun. See: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sa'ar_6-class_corvette (Oto Melara is part of Leonardo).
Benelli and Beretta are somewhat well-known brands also.
Philomena?
Italy has reportedly stopped supporting Israel militarily, but still remains committed to peace and continuing ongoing traditions of the two cultures by arguing over it loudly during dinner.
We look forward to further debate in which rapid hand movements and speaking loudest stress the most important points.
I believe they were referring to the lady in the article looking like someone else.
Italy renewed the defence agreement and THEN suspended automatic renewal.
Misleading headline.
Me when I forget to cancel my free trials before they renew
Many Euro defense manufacturers use crucial Israeli components, from Elbit, for example. Redesign and replacements is hard, expensive, and would take time. Not good. EDIT: not good for the European defense industry, because they have been effectively backdoored by Nazisrael
Is your point that it would be a shame if Israel didn’t get it’s advanced munitions? You do know they are the devil?
No. Israel Is the devil. I just phrased it wrong. I meant that it’s not good for European defense. They have been essentially backdoor Ed.
Still better than being complicit in genocide, repeated war crimes, and the illegal occupation of lands
