Some of the geographic neighbours have tried to do their bit. Lebanon has already suffered grievously. Yemen has done what it could. Iran is a little further away but it too has made an effort and has paid the price.

Thanks, I agree that level of trade is shocking. On the other hand, few of those items could be used to carry out genocide and ethnic cleansing.
Something else though that worries me, Woo4. Why does Israel need to import bombs from the USA? Israel surely must have the skilled personnel to put 2000-pound bombs together. We campaign against Biden exporting his country's bombs to Israel, but Israel could probably put such bombs together in a matter of weeks. They might not have "Made in USA" painted on them, but they'd be lethal enough to collapse an apartment building in which their target victim would be asleep with his family, plus numerous other families. So why do we campaign against export of bombs to the Zionist entity?
I campaign because that’s where they’re coming from atm, the US UK Germany et al. Though I’m sure they could make them in Israel! I have a feeling that the US supplies it’sweapons for free…as aid! There’s a research paper on it here https://watson.brown.edu/costsofwar/files/cow/imce/papers/2023/2024/Costs%20of%20War_US%20Support%20Since%20Oct%207%20FINAL%20v2.pdf The company that supplies the dreaded drones /quadcopters that not only spy on but are also used to kill Palestinians and often follow up after the bombs as people are fleeing (according to British doctor testifying in front of a parliamentary committee) Elbit Systems producers these things in the UK though it is an Israeli company supplying the majority of land based weapons to the IDF. God only knows if all the help the British govt gives the Israeli Govt is free or not, that’s not the point for me, the point is to bring down the Zionist government, and for me that includes a complete economic boycott the same as was done with South Africa during apartheid. So I’m not buying Israeli, as far as I know, and don’t bank with Barclays!! And I’m trying to buy Palestinian products like dates and olive oil and some wonderful Hebron Glass. PS The new Brit Govt had cancelled some of the weapons/parts contracts with Israel, though not spares for fighter planes, and not these horror quadcopters.
Good for you, Woo4. Some brave campaigners have tried to shut down one or more of Elbit's numerous factories in the UK, and indeed one Elbit factory here has been closed, but there are several more which seem to be operating undisturbed. The threat of heavy prison sentences keeps most campaigners away.

Yes, I’m talking more about economic trade with Israel which has increased in many countries except for Turkey. I have found a shocking report on this here https://www.middleeastmonitor.com/20241106-israel-continues-to-increase-trade-with-arab-and-muslim-world/
