sell them to other countries. Britain is israel's enemy. It's full of leftist wanta be muslim whacks.

Yes, yes, right, there is no connection! aprtheid! allah akbar!

Have you read the paper? Isreal left Gaza and the Hamas terrorists took over, killing many Palestineians in the take over. Don't like the Israel blockade of Gaza? Talk to Egypt, they have a blockade too.

stop the British from gaining via your breakthrough scientific and medical research programs. Let us rot in hell with the precious little msulims. What is good for the goose is good for the gander, screw Miliband he and his mother have waited all their sorry little lives for this. Down with Britain!

Only British weapons smuggled into Gaza and used by the Fakestianians are allowed. And this thrift in moral judgement can be used by Islam because English weapons were used against Muslims, so Islam is justified in boycotting British goods too. The the British need to boycot themselves. OK, go ahead, I'll wait. This from a country that destroyed how many native cultures to get cheap tea? And now, to get cheap oil they are throwing Israel to the wolves for a delay in what, a few dozen years before Islam turnes upon their all welcoming host, Britian? And they will get what they surley do deserve.

It seems that Israel can make British passports too. Maybe the UK should buy their passports from Israel.

Israel developed and began building its own tank...the Merkava.

While we are on the subject of “occupied territories”, need we mention the territory of Gibraltar, which Spain wants back? And what about Northern Ireland? So before Britain decides to preach to Israel about the issue of “occupied territories,” it would do well to put its own house in order. More about British occupation at : http://xrl.us/oxegf

but don't you, the brits, use the SAME WEAPONS IN IRAQ AND AFGHANISTAN, KILLING HUNDREDS OF INNOCENT CIVILIANS IN THE PROCESS OF USING THE VERY SAME WEAPONS YOU ACCUSE ISRAEL OF USING AGAINST TERRORISTS???????? war on terror should be equal for anyone fighting it. why should israel not be allowed to fight terrorism on its soil and terrorism coming from next door in gaza, while youb use the very same weapons thousands of miles away from your borders against a population that presents no immediate danger to your civilians and cities. after all, afghanistan and iraq are not on british borders, while gaza is on israel's borders. yet, you claim that israel has no right to defend itself using the very same weapons you employ thousands oif miles away in your fight against terror. what double standard and double speak. HYPOCRITES. IF YOU HATE THE JEWISH STATE, JUST SAY SO. DO NOT COME UP WITH A LAME EXCUSE LIKE THE ONE YOU CAME OUT WITH TO AVOID SELLING THE VERY SAME WEAPONS YOU YOURSELF USE THOUSANDS OF MILES AWAY FROM BRITISH BORDERS. hameed aboughaze, iranian

How do you justify the Falklands your so proud of winning? The Falklands is occupied Argentinian territory. They tried to take it back but you guys decided to go to war to stop them getting it. What did the Argentinians do to England or its citizens? Iraq, everybody says Iraq was an illegal and unjustified war. What was Saddam Hussain doing to England. He wasn't even a threat to any of his naighbors because his army had been smashed in 1991. One of the justifictaioons for war was Saddam supports terror which isn't true. Saddam did give money to the relatives of terrorists but he never directly supported terror, he was one of the few arab leaders that didn't. In Afghanistan the actual Taliban government had not attacked England or any of its citizens it was Al Quaida who operated out of Afghanistan that carried out 9/11. Even then Al Quaida attacked America not England so what was the justification for England getitng involved? Does England have any plans to pull out of Northern Irland? Does England have any plans to allow Scotland independence? Does England have any plans to give Wales back to the welsh? Does England have any plans to return Gibraltar to Spain? Does England have any plans to return the Falklands to Argentinia? Is occupying territory that somebody belives to them and not you and going to war to protect your citizens a privilage that belongs to England alone?

SIr ,the Doctor said you were impotent not important (bit like U.K. generally these days.)

Israel should stop buying things especially arms from the UK.

OOPS! One of those darn british weapons just misfired! Sorry about your Chamber of Commerce.

They stopped Jews entering Israel during the Holocaust, Jews who were running away from being gassed. they sent them back to their death. There will be no escape for the British on the Day of Judgement!

The British are a bunch of pathetic hypocrites. Do they ban their own army from using these weapons when they blow up innocent people in Afghanistan? Churchill would be rolling in his grave over what Islamo-but-kissers the Brits have become.

Are you English doing drugs in Parliament again?

Israel is not a child of the US, it's a customer. And for the military industrial complex, customers are good to have. Which is why the US actively markets its military wares and helps to support the industry through govt subsidies in the same way its subsidizes corn and cotton industries (and now banks and automakers). You do seem edgy about US money going to Israel but not really concerned at the $$$ heading to Jordanians, Egyptians, "Palestinians", Georgians, etc. etc. that do pile up to major bucks, placing Israel's aid in the shadows. There is more to this relationship than you'd like to admit, like Israel's strong military industry which is stymied BECAUSE of the US aid (that's one of the stipulations by the US, remember AWACS to China?). Israel also brings much technology and urban-warfare training to US troops. I know you'd love to see the US drop Israel but the truth is, beyond the Obama supporters who are really quite myopic, the US military and Congress do see the massive benefits of our relationship...and presidents come and presidents go.

Is that like Congolese-Russian? Or Algerian-French? Not sure you'd see any commitment from Bibi on not building in our sovereign capital, especially in neighborhoods that were ethnically cleansed of Jews in 1948. I think it's more fair to assume that the 1600 apartments built in Ramat Shlomo will be open to Arabs and Jews alike... that's much more fair than the racist policy of your ilk that wants to see Arab neighborhoods remain homogeneous. More than likely, if the "Pals" ever got E. Jerusalem as their capital, the majority of Arabs there would rush to W. Jerusalem. Better to just save everyone the aggravation and close the option to "Pals" altogether.

And Nour, you have no country as Palesdtine doesn't exist and never will.

The british politicians with thier lies. Israel does not buy nor want to buy inferrier outdated brittish guns .These same lieing politicians are looking for votes in the uncomming elections. Israel sells Military goods to England because thiers is so useless.and are not called arms anymore.

All the Israeli/jewish comments on this article.. Not one of you are showing loyalty to the host nation that you live in. You even make yourself look like a 5th column the way you are posting replies.

They are not called Palestinian Israelis but Arab Israeli. They are Arabs with Israeli citizenship & carry an Israeli identity book.

HE is right , that xtreme human rights propaganta

It was called Palestine and the British took it away from you, not to give to the Jews but to the Hashamites. This Saudi exile expropriated your country with the blessings of the British. Maybe you should be blowing up London and Amman to get your country back and leave us alone. I guess you and the British don't want us to use our (their) weapons until we have been overrun by Muslims and our blood flows like the Jordan. Not happening!!!!

As an proud argentinian citizen, and from Jewish ancestors too, I wish to emphasise that the Britons are the big thieves of the History, and then they are teaching "Honesty" to the world. Come on ! They have stolen the Malvinas Island from my country, Argentina, in 1833, by force, without any rigth to do so. So far, despite several resolutions of the UN, they don't wish to negotiate this blatant case of robbery. And what about Jordan?, they stole this large piece of land from the Mandate Territories, to give it as a gift to the Hashemites, instead to partition it to the Arabs and Jews. There are a lot more of this acts of piracy from the British Empire. It´s a very long list really ... They also prevent the Jews from disembarking in the Holy Land in the midst of the WWII, sending our brothers to die in the Holocaust, or to drown in the sea. In spite of that -What do you expect from this people ? In the inmediate future, they will carry the Crescent Moon, instead the Seal of the Queen, and his capital will be renamed "Londonistan" What a pity ! ! !

YOU ARE INSULTING US, THE MILLIONS OF JEWS THAT ARE LIVING, WORKING AND DEFENDING OUR COUNTRIES WITH LOYALTY, NOT OUR "HOST" COUNTRIES, THAT YOU WRITE WITH MALICE. PLEASE SIR, DO NOT CONTINUE INSULTING HONEST PEOPLE, AND DO NOT TRY TO SPREAD YOUR ANTI-JEW VENOM AND TWISTED IDEAS HERE. "NEVER AGAIN"

at then exchange rates that is 55 million USD. Israel's defence budget for 2008 was around 52 billion ILS or roughly 13billion USD making UK arms sales roughly 0.5%. Why do i get the feeling Israel will manage to survive? Why do I also get the feeling this has more to do with the billions they sell to countries like Saudi?

with the people who sell it 99.6% of its weapons instead. Somehow I feel Israel might be able to source Apache and F-16 parts somewhere else..... Isn't there this place call Ammireekaa or something like that?

I use to say that I was proud to be British now I have to say that I am NOT.
