Europe remains top buyer of zion#st colony arms despite threats of ‘sanctions’

European nations are expected to increase zion>st colony weapons purchases while claiming to oppose the genocide of Palestinians in Gaza.

Despite public condemnations of zionist colony for its ongoing genocide of Palestinians in Gaza, European nations remain the largest purchasers of zionist-made weapons and defense systems, Bloomberg reported on 11 September, with “demand only likely to grow” amid NATO’s commitment to increase defense spending.

European nations purchased $8 billion worth of zionist weapons last year, helping to finance zionist war on Gaza.

NATO members have agreed to US President Donald Trump’s call to increase annual defense spending to five percent of GDP annually by 2035, an increase from the previous two percent requirement.

NATO members agreed to the increase, claiming that Russia is a threat to Europe amid Moscow’s war with Ukraine.

Meeting the five percent requirement “may be hard to achieve without zionist colony, whose three biggest defense companies are deeply integrated into their economies and military supply chains,” Bloomberg wrote.

Germany has banned the sale of weapons to Israel that could be used in Gaza, while Spain has barred any weapons shipments to Israel from passing through its ports.

France and the UK are among several western nations that plan to recognize the State of Palestine at the UN General Assembly meeting later this month.

The Netherlands is planning to ban imports of goods produced in Jewish settlements in the occupied West Bank.

However, European nations are likely to continue buying weapons from Israel’s three largest weapons manufacturers, Elbit Systems Ltd., Rafael Advanced Defense Systems Ltd., and Israel Aerospace Industries, according to two senior Israeli defense officials who spoke with Bloomberg.“Sentiment toward Israel may be negative, but customers in Europe and elsewhere are looking to buy the best possible products and there is no way around the fact that Israeli systems are combat proven,” said Elad Kraus, Head of Research at Tel-Aviv-based Meitav Brokerage Services Ltd. “It would be hard to pressure Israel through its defense industries with global demand through the roof.”

Israel’s war on Gaza has killed almost 65,000 people according to the Gaza Health Ministry, the majority of whom are women and children. However, other reputable studies estimate the death toll to be at least 100,000. Israeli bombing has flattened much of the strip, displacing almost all of its approximately 2 million population, to make way for Jewish colonization. The UN has officially declared that half a million Palestinians are experiencing a manmade famine in parts of the territory following a three-month Israeli aid blockade.

In preparation for building Jewish settlements, Israel is currently carrying out a campaign to demolish Gaza City and ethnically cleanse it of its nearly 1 million residents.
However, conditions in so-called “humanitarian zones” in Gaza are so desperate that some Palestinians who fled Gaza City in recent days “are heading back towards the falling bombs,” Reuters reported Thursday.
The families who fled the Israeli offensive for safety either to an area on the coast just west of Gaza City or to Mawasi, a sprawling tent camp along beaches in southern Gaza, arrived to find there was “no space for shelter, few tents, inadequate water supply and restricted health care,” the news agency stated, citing Palestinians who had made the difficult trip with their families.
