Israeli minister taking ‘legal measures’ against French arms fair ban
Emmanuel Macron has banned Israeli companies from the Euronaval Salon defence fair in Paris next month
Israel’s foreign minister has announced he is taking “legal and diplomatic measures” against the decision by the French president, Emmanuel Macron, to ban Israeli companies from showing their wares at an arms fair in Paris next month.
Israel Katz described the “boycott” as an anti-democratic measure that was “not acceptable, especially between friendly nations”.
Katz did not elaborate on the measures he had in mind and the French government did not immediately respond to a request for comment.
Organisers of the Euronaval Salon, a naval defence fair due to take place between 4 and 7 November, told Reuters that after a decision by the French government no Israeli stands or exhibits would be allowed, although delegates could attend.
The mindset of the whole Israeli government is pretty astounding. It's like they feel entitled to do what they're doing, and anyone who vaguely hints at "maybe genocide isn't your strongest play?" is vilified. Israel is always the victim, no matter who or what is being done. It has strong "the left stole the election" vibes
It's Chutzpah turned up to 11 and the government never, ever, lets an opportunity slide.
The victimhood complex of fascists is always a pathetic sight to behold.
Their justification is a tome written by drunk monks thousands of years ago
I'm surprised they he said it's antidemocratic. I'd have expected antisemitic.
It's antisemicratic.
Only a semi huh
