Even now, are we going to do anything about it?
Is the government going to support our bill?
Are you going to support the bill today?
It's not true.
What Israel is doing is costing us, the people here, and the cost of living crisis.
So from an economic point of view, we are suffering because of the behavior of the Israeli regime.
It is.
I'm saying if we don't stop Israel, we'll all suffer.
In fact, we all are suffering.
The people of Palestine are suffering in the most horrific way.
The people of Lebanon are suffering.
I don't believe the American company.
No, I don't actually, because American companies are here to make profits.
I don't think their investment decisions will be determined by our foreign policy.
I think that's frankly scaremongering.
Well, first of all, our obligations under the Genocide Convention and under international law and our commitment to human rights can't surely be based on whether we think there may be economic blowback.
I mean, I'm sure Barry wouldn't have said if there was any negative economic consequences of sanctions on Russia, we shouldn't impose them.
No, but I don't think...
Anybody has suggested that we should have considered the economic blowback when we were discussing and imposing sanctions on Russia.
Why would we consider the economic potential blowback, which, by the way, I think is exaggerated, when we're discussing sanctions against Israel for genocide, for apartheid, for ethnic cleansing?
