Clarice Feldman - @Khaledhzakariah I am an Egyptian, native-Arabic...

If we, the UK/US, stopped selling arms to every military that has accidentally killed civilians, we would stop selling arms to every single military on earth. - @Khaledhzakariah 
"I am an Egyptian, native-Arabic speaker, and a national security and counter-terrorism researcher. 
I have an MA in Intelligence and National Security and over 14 years of experience...
I can tell you, with confidence, that the argument to suspend arms sales to Israel over the accidental killing of aid workers is antisemitic. It has nothing to do with decency, justice or international law.
  • You are singling out Israel when you haven't reacted the same way to the accidental killing of civilians by other militaries, including Arab militaries.
If we, the UK/US, stopped selling arms to every military that has accidentally killed civilians, we would stop selling arms to every single military on earth. 
In fact, we would stop manufacturing or buying arms for OUR OWN military, which has repeatedly killed civilians by mistake in Iraq, Afghanistan, Somalia and elsewhere.
