It's funny how they always have money for war but they haven't got the money to fix the potholes.
Comes out of Military budget of which we're obliged to spend at least 2% of our GDP
It's called politics. Millions in the UK in poverty, cost of living out of control, but we have plenty of money to spend on another country (i.e. Israel).
@@user-ml1rv1jk3wmilitary budget should go to our soldiers and to improving our equipment. not funding war crimes in other countries
Arming Israel while supporting Palestinians at home, being two faced what can go wrong?
noo a lot of people don’t know who to support..
No we definitely don't support Palestinian terrorists 😅
Hold on a minute .. how much aid money did the west (especially Britain) give the Palestinians? ... which hamas then stole for themselves and spent on it missiles, bombs and weapons (the rest they kept for big house sin Europe)
None. Zero to Israel. Palestine on the other has had hundreds of millions in aid this year from us. Israel should get it. We have arms licences we give companies, that's It. So much disinformation on this subject,
Majority of the people support Palestine. Its only the govt that support israel because they fear losing their positions in power. But russia will soon put an end to this. By 2030 the west will no longer be what it is today. And israel will no longer exist either.
While a lot people in the UK so poor!! This is taking thw mick
Brits really love to big talk themselves. It’s not aid if it’s paid for! The US is the one that hands Israel $4B worth of equipments every year, besides the funding for iron dome.
The rich politicians in the UK government don't care about poor Brits or poor Palestinians. There's no profit in compassion for either group.
UK pledged 12 billion to Ukraine
Our Tax, VAT and Pension money goes to Israel and Ukraine. Boycott HMRC
Boycott Tory and Labour ?
I want to support Ukraine?
legally one could argue that we were breaking a law (not paying tax) in order to stop a crime (killing of civilians) .. it's called the swords to ploughshares defence in court
@@marshmellow377go over there and fight for them then?
So, the UK government seem to forget that Israel were the only country in the world known to supply military assistance to Argentina in 1982, during the Falklands conflict, to use against the UK forces. 👏👏👏
They're the enemy within
Cry harder
40 YEARS AGO!
This is a question of legality. Argentina was not engaged with genocide. They were trying to take something geography belongs to them
@@james8449100 Twaddle - on that basis Argentine could claim Chile ... erm ...
Meanwhile, a number of councils in the UK are facing bankruptcy!
Muslim run councils.
Our soilders in uk are sleeping rough and government is sending millions to Israel🤦🏻♂️
Traitor government puts Israel before the British
And if they are not sleeping rough, they are in a mouldy barracks
Sunak says blah, blah, blah and continues to provide weapons, RAF and Royal Navy support to Israel.
Our political system has a serious addiction problem, feb by Zionist lobby donors/pushers.
If Israel losses here, the UK is next.
And the drone that killed British aid workers
That's almost 1 billion in military aid which we gave to isreal. Can't we spend that on ourselves instead of helping isreal flatten gaza.
Gave or sold? (To spell it out: the Aid amount and how much Israel has doesn't add up. Clearly purchases have occurred. Those purchases provide jobs which provide taxes. So are we looking at the math or are we cherry picking to have something to complain about.)
Do people not do the concept of selling things anymore? Seems pretty common sense to me, can't say it takes much brain power. Pretty sure even a brain dead person would understand about the Industrial Military Complex. So why we acting like it just disappeared over night.
Surely we aren't playing stupid to common sense in order to invent talking points to complain about, surely that isn't it.
The UK currently spends £2 billion a year accomodation alone on illegal immigrants. On top of that are handouts, the broken asylum system, lawyers, etc. etc.
@@burns281981well said. Also not forgetting the strategic importance of maintaining our domestic arms industry - which is maintained through sales and the one area of government that brings in billions.
Brits really love to big talk themselves. It’s not aid if it’s paid for! The US is the one that hands Israel $4B worth of equipments every year, besides the funding for iron dome.

This is the UK’s “let’s not look bad” attempt. Truly pathetic.
And for all the noise, they have 0.02% aid hahaha
It's a waste of money, while the country is struggling. Israel don't need UK money. THIS SHOULD STOP. ISRAEL DO NOT NEED ANY HELP.
They buy the weapons from the uk at bae systems in barrow it makes jobs a Labour town
Why do we need to give any free military kit to Israel which is a wealthy country? Especially as it has always ignored UN directives.
Wow Sky news finanlly doing unbiased and honest Jornalism
1 out of 100 videos are unbiased
All countries worked together to abolish slavery yet they sit back and watch this madness happen (why)
It's all down to money. People will ignore their morals while making money. It's called greed, and we as humans are good at being greedy and immoral
Exactly on point this is all comes down to it’s pure GREED
A lot of this military aid is "given" to Israel although some is sold. It just shows who controls the government...
The government has sent nearly a billion pounds of our money overseas to an apartheid regime that has been known about for years. Why wasn’t this spent on the UK infrastructure such as roads, schools, hospitals etc etc?
I agree same here in the United States
Israel is the 28th richest country in the world. There is a £29bn financial black hole in the UK's own military.
The obvious question - Why are we giving any military aid to Netanyahu?
Because They are the Chosen People 😂
Sold* not aid, this is not gifted. UK is making profit from this be under no illusion. Find it worrying that people think the gov is giving away their assets for free because they believe in the cause 😂
Defence minister Grant Shapps told parliament in November that defence exports to Israel were "relatively small" at 42 million pounds in 2022, the last full-year data available
bet its jumped since last summer... before oct ever happened
And ex serviceman are sleeping rough.
I'm ex RAF and spent nearly 7 years sleeping rough...
Being abused by Police .......
to train to be a killer for money was your vile choice
STOP ALL AID AND SPEND THE MONEY ON OUR COUNTRY..... FFS..
and when the country kicks Tory out, and hands it on a plate to Labour, it will go on ad infinitum as Labour are just the other cheek of the same arse, who will just continue to carry the baton onward after the handover while giving the illusion of being opposed to all things to the right of center. We have learned nothing from generations of these two lying to us. They bleed us dry, give nothing in return, and the infrastructure of the country is crumbling before our very eyes. Then they take our money, our taxes which should be used at home and they help finance wars ??
For context the amount of arms doesn't matter, its black or white, supplying arms to a country that is likely to use them against civilians is morally and legally wrong. Every piece of arms aid has the capacity to injure, maim and kill. Uk government and others have the power to stop that destruction.
An ad at the beginning and an ad at the end...
Of a THREE MINUTE VIDEO
Go fluck yourselves.
Pay the doctors and nurses with this money
Not some more bell-end reports , has Russia ran out of missiles ? That’s a big no !
The more potholes I see on the roads and longer waiting time at A and E housing crisis energy companies making billions of profits l leave rest for people to think 🤷🏻♂️
It's designated military funds not for fixing potholes 😅
@@kennymorrison7227 Brits really love to big talk themselves. It’s not aid if it’s paid for! The US is the one that hands Israel $4B worth of equipments every year, besides the funding for iron dome.
@@kennymorrison7227 still comes from British tax payers
The problem is that these aids are not in the form of debt or loan but as a charity which mean israel won't pay any money while the tax payer are paying them
Look at these two discussing it so casually with no tinge of repulsion - they can not draw the contrast into how easy it is to dispatch these military aids but humanitarian aid has to be debated for months in the parliament.
WHY ?
we need to sweep the sociopaths out of office..here's a crazy idea, why not STOP these psychopaths and sociopaths from profiting from wars that they hurt so many in to line their own mates pockets and use that money to build up decent industries in the UK
Who supplied the drones that murdered British Aid soldiers in the aid vehicles that was supposed to Cary aid to Gaza. Who’s drones killed them 🤔
We can't build houses, but we can give military aid to Isreal. Why do we need to get involved in this whole situation.
Short answer: Too much.
All the whole food and energy keeps rising on home turf while sending all our money abroad
Uk hospitals ?
nah, country most cannot find on the map is more important
Do the drones such as used to strike the WCK have cameras? And does the USA have Satellite technology that can look at war zones in detail at night time?
Apparently they cannot discern the logos at night..
Why do these countries send aid to Israel? It's a rich country! Maybe USA and Germany should give the UK some aid.
It makes us complicit in the genocide that is happening in Gaza 😭
and how much money goes to lining peoples greedy little pockets?
So we provide basically nothing. Extremely relatively small compared to everyone else.
It’s still something that money can be spent on our own people who are struggling
@@mrr4975 split between 80 million or so people and it's still nothing. And despite it's faults we still have a pretty good benefits system.
Israel want to unleash the dragon for Iran
It's like giving a box of fireworks and matches to a toddler with behavior issues and wondering why the neighborhood is on fire and denying any responsibility.
Dont forget UKs AI facial recognition program
That 42 million needs to be recouped immediately
Uk weapons 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
"We're not as bad as the USA!" Shut up!
the worm turns
It's a shame, the kingdom should prioritize people's lives over money.
It’s still money that is not allocated to U.K. needs.
His attempt to minimise the financial diversion, is ridiculous.
what weapons are manufactured here....... not gifted by aid... is the question
Almost a full minute of talking before he actually answers the question in about a second. Love British politics.
The answer is too much
we shouldnt be funding any armed force other than our own. why we are just giving stuff away i will never get. military aid here or there should never be a thing. sod the rest of the world focus on our own.
Thank God for the majority kind British people ❤
uk needs to stop giving outsiders anythign! we get no thanks for it.. uk comes first spend the money here! forget them!
They're not giving them military and monetary aid out of the kindness of their hearts. They give them military/monetary aid so when they tell them to do something they have leverage over them to force them to comply. If the UK decided to not give any monetary aid to any foreign nations then they would have no leverage to influence foreign nations. For example, foreign nations would start voting against Britain in the United Nations.
Aid is power
@@telvinphiri1620these idiots don’t understand that. They think it’s altruism 🤣
Look at the news Palestinians and lefty’s are swarming this county! I notice Muslim counties do not take them WHY!
Isreal buys the weapons it makes jobs at bae systems in barrow a Labour town
'Military support'? Why do they need support? Providing arms to Israel is the same as providing arms to Putin.
No it's not. Russia are the aggressor, Israel is not.
@@drhfuhruhurr4253you could argue that Israel has been taking Palestine land for years so they are also the aggressors. The way they are going about "defending themselves" is also very much like how Russia is"defending itself".
@@drhfuhruhurr4253so stealing the indigenous peoples land is not aggression. Keeping people living under an apartheid regime is not aggression.
@@Falesteen-fm5wr what land was stolen? jews are indigenous to the area, they've been there for 3 thousand plus years! So...
@@Falesteen-fm5wr what land was stolen? Chews have been there for 3 thousand plus years, they themselves are the indigenous people.
BDS apartheid Israel .. Free Palestine!
keeps fuelling the wars and asks why there are so many boats coming in
Ask The EU that allow them through each of it's borderless countries.
Too much
aid (n.)
early 15c., aide, "war-time tax," also "help, support, assistance," from Old French aide, earlier aiudha "aid, help, assistance," from Late Latin adiuta, noun use of fem. of adiutus, past participle of Latin adiuvare "to give help to," from ad "to" (see ad-) + iuvare "to help, give strength, support, sustain," which is from a PIE source perhaps related to the root of iuvenis "young person" (see young (adj.)).
The meaning "thing by which assistance is given" is recorded from 1590s; the sense of "person who assists, helper" is from 1560s. The meaning "material help given by one country to another" is from 1940.
“U$ Outrage..”
funny
Please clarify, is this private companies selling arms or is it the UK tax payers paying to give Israel "aid"?
There are more judges, than people in Gaza.
Pity the 3 british civilians for this
Paid for by us! Anyone else had enough yet??
FREE PALESTINE
From 2 enemies, Isreal and Hamas
what else can the IDF do but level the hospitals right??????
No wonder we're broke
Ops.... i did it again...... but again and again is really weird
What about military aid for Palestinians?
Military aid is not same as military exports : a highly misleading presentation: big or small we should not be supporting genocide and we should jot be giving any taxpayer money as form of military aid
Why does the NHS send so much money to Israeli pharmaceutical companies
Because Israel is ur Father
Hate crime is at a alarming levels we don't need this
UK government knows very well..how many Palestinian killed by Israeli forces..but still supporting to Israeli forces..what does it means????
UK government know really well that aid given to Gaza is taken by hamas terrorists, stop sending aid to Gaza 😊
I said those who say UK should stop supplying isreal arms are clowns..UK that can’t even protect its borders 😂😂😂😂
A bit of history... years ago the UK was a major arms seller for the IDF, for example the British Centurion tank was the IDF main battle tank in its major wars and was also a best seller world wide, its successor, the Chieftain tank, was initially a British-Israeli co-developement project, but than the MOD decided to kick Israel out... so the IDF eventually developed its own Merkava tailored for its own use and Chieftain was produced less than half the numbers compared to the Centurion, for Challenger the numbers are even smaller...
How much babies killed in UK military aid ?
Too much, that's how much.
Mind Begs the Question:
- When Governed by Politicians
- Who justify Starvation,Death Camps,Gas Chambers/White Phosphorus,Ethnic Cleansing,etc
- Governed by Righteous or Satanic?
I'm way more concerned about how much UK aid that goes through the UN ends up in helping Hamas.
How's that Zionist schlong taste?
We don't have a navy army budget slashed on our forces. BUT GIVE UKRAINE NOW THIS WHAT THE F..K IS WRONG WITH PARLIAMENT
To show some balance could show us how much military aid Iran send to Hamas.
Free Palestine 🇵🇸
Naw😂😂
uk and usa showing protest and calling for ceaser fire and in offline mode VETO and giving military support to Israel 🤣 they are playing the most american game 🤣
Sky news have on celebrity chef Jose Andres to talk about his fabulous new mole recipe
He also has a great recipe for extra hot chicken
I’m confused as to whether he is talking about aid to Israel, or sales to Israel.
"Military Aid" is money given that is then spent on weapons.
Absolutely disgusting
Ohh so we’re ok 🤥
Wheres all the brexit supporters at 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
Shill Bell
Short to help Ukrain yet able to support Israel.. GAME OF POLITICS. TIME TO STOP
Israel and Ukraine are on the same side against the axis of evil of Iran, Russia, China and the progressive left.
I certainly done and will not support anything this government does..... this war has certainly showed what a horrible ugly form of government we have.... I'd give up my citizenship up in a flash if I could afford
UK chose the wrong side of the conflict, despite a significantly large Muslim taxpayer diaspora.
That’s enough to pay nurse doctors and council but no Isreal apartheid is more important for rishi and his goons
Well, at least one country has the testicles to do the right thing.
There should be no aid going towards Israel's reign of terror.
Israel is of God almighty. Please support Israel or hands-off.
If it's God's almighty, it doesn't need money from the west. Isn't God above money?
@@Tummamu God needs Gold 😂
And he shall Get Gold 😂
They help Israel, but didn't help Ukraine. Double standard. We know U.S and U.K is owned by "Who". 😅
As a UK tax payer I'm not happy with the government sending aid to facilitate a genocide.
Bb
Its UK tax payers money call it what it is
