No evidence of genocide in Gaza, UK lawyers say in arms export case

UK government lawyers stated there is no evidence of genocide in Gaza or that the IDF specifically targets women and children, as they defended arms exports to Israel in a high court case.
The government seeks to uphold its arms sales, including F-35 components, citing international peace and security needs, while campaigners argue this violates domestic and international law obligations.
Al-Haq and other organizations assert severe humanitarian crises in Gaza, including mass displacement and significant civilian casualties, contesting the government's position regarding compliance with humanitarian law.

The UK has never seen a more fascism loving labour party
- Starmer wishes Thatcher was still alive so he could kiss her feet.
- Removing Corbyn was a Zionist coup.

So uhhh why did they ban arms exports?
Government lawyers also stressed that the international court of justice last year had not found there was a plausible risk of a genocide occurring.
Didn't the literal exact opposite of this happen?
- Yep.

  Top tier gaslighting by UK lawyers. Just open the Hasbara handbook and start lying. It's worked for Israel so why not for them!

This news were right one after another in main, Israel literally announce it's a genocide
- To flee where? they are surrounded
  
  Into the firing range
  
  Yeah, nowhere, i guess even Isn'treal is not yet on the stage of openly saying "we will kill them all" though it's clearly implied.

No evidence that cigarettes are unhealthy, says cigarette manufacturer.

Oh, what a relief. I thought, from all the video evidence of children being murdered, that genocide was assured. Ffs.

UK government lawyers stated there is no evidence of genocide in Gaza or that the IDF specifically targets women and children, as they defended arms exports to Israel in a high court case.
So I'm guessing they don't allow recorded statements, public record or video recordings as evidence then? Or is it just some closed session where a bunch of idiots suck eachother off to the sound of money counting machines?

Here's hoping the court sees through the rather obvious bullshit.

No evidence of conflict of interest, said firm hired by lawyers contracted by the government.
