At last Liam Fox has struck a free trade deal. Shame it’s with apartheid warmonger Israel
A happy man: Liam Fox has secured a free trade deal with Israel. How many weapons will that country buy, and use under this agreement?
The first free trade deal Liam Fox has managed to strike with a foreign country, and it shames us all.
Here he is announcing it – with Israel.
BREAKING News from @Davos: 🇬🇧 and 🇮🇱 have agreed in principle a UK-Israel agreement. Here is the video of Eli Cohen (Israel’s Minister of the Economy) and I making the announcement at @wef. @netanyahu #FreeTradeIsGREAT #FreeTrade #WEF2019 #wef #wef19 pic.twitter.com/odbZtWr4Uo

Audrey struck the right note with her response: “Well done, Liam. It sends a very strong message.. “You can bomb countries, commit slow genocide, never obey to international law, and we will still be Your friends as long as we have big contracts with you!” Who needs morals when you can have money??”
Absolutely right.
The part of the video clip that stood out most, for This Writer, was where it was stated that Israel’s trade with the UK had topped $10 billion for the first time in 2018.
How much of that money was spent on weapons? In 2017, I reported, it was £221 million – and that was £140 million more than the previous year.
And how many of those arms were used to kill or maim Palestinians?
Recently, we are told, Israel has targeted ambulances:

If that’s what Liam Fox’s trade deal is about, then the UK should not have signed it.

Liam Fox accidentally forgot to declare 2 £50,000 Rolexes from the Quatar government in December 2017, but its fine because he’s corrected the record now (January 2019):

I noticed how you deleted my last comment, respectfully urging genuine investigation. I also noticed you left it pending for a week or so before you decided censorship was the best solution. Can i ask for what reasons you decided to remove it?
It’s ironic how since then you have been locked in a court anti-semitism battle. Congratulations on winning that, although sadly i’m sure the damage was done. Yet thank you for still speaking out against Israel tyranny (and all tyranny) where you see it despite attempts to silence you.
Is controlling the narrative and people’s opinions usually something the “good guys” do?
Why is Israel the first free trade deal the UK manages to get? Why did America, in the middle of a shut down, near unanimously push a bill through that made boycotting israel illegal? How many US politicians are dual citizens again?
Good work,
I wish you all the best.
You linked to a YouTube clip that referred to “Jewish propaganda”, which would be too easily described as anti-Semitism by some of the witch-hunters that watch This Site. I cut out the link for that reason. I don’t know why your last comment was deleted but if it had similar references, that may be the reason.
It was a mistake to let Fox off the hook for his shenanigans with Werritty a few years ago. He should have been put before the Courts charged with Misconduct in a Public Office and/or Official Secrets Act offences. He is a odious individual and this so-called trade deal bears all the hall marks of scraping the bottom of the barrel.
