“No evidence has been seen that a genocide is occurring in Gaza or that women and children were targeted by the IDF, UK government lawyers have claimed, as a high court case opened into the handling of arms exports controls to Israel.”

No? Then I guess these lawyers and their families wouldn’t mind being shipped off to live in Gaza for a few months. So, what do you say, chaps?

Evil fucking bastards the lot of ‘em.

The Guardian · No evidence of genocide in Gaza, UK lawyers say in arms export caseBy Patrick Wintour

“UK government argues it’s OK to be evil if you profit from it.”

@aral Unbelievable. I have no idea how they can live with such lies.

@aral Isn’t that a definition of capitalism?

@aadeacon @aral most government types do not concern themselves with morality, anyway. that's for suckers and priests, they deal with money and power.

@zlatko @aadeacon Suckers only, apparently. Priests too busy fiddling little kids.

@aral End-time capitalism - Evil just means Not Making Money.

@aral are lawyers allowed to lie in court or only the excessively costly ones ?

@aral "No evidence" is an easily falsifiable claim.

@aral The UK, whose colonial project in Palestine was nonconsensually converted to the modern state of Israel, still doesn't care what happens to Palestinians? That's just them being consistent.

When the alternative was Europe taking back their displaced Jews, somehow the only acceptable solution was more colonial bullshit.
