Fuck no.
Just like the thinly performative media turn or the letters by suddenly concerned cultural figures, they're just getting their flimsy (im)plausible deniability in as the final solution that they worked so hard to make happen begins.
Even as they pretend to distance themselves from Israel they continue to enable the final stages of its genocide.
Take the UK... We're still giving the Israeli state direct access and influence over police & legal operations against protestors and pro-Palestinian journalists. We're still charging bands and writers and journalists with terror offenses for speaking out against Israel. It took just weeks for their story of an already pathetically small number of arms export lisences being revoked to fall apart and be revealed that we were just breaking our own rules. Earlier this week the government said we were suspending talks on a new trade deal with Israel, but have now quietly sent a trade envoy there to do it anyway. We're still running spy and surveillance flights for the Israelis, against Palestinians. We still have SAS covertly and possibly sheep-dipped there. The government still won't acknowledge any even parliamentary questions about our military role in the 'conflict', never mind the openly genocidal aspects of it. We're still not working with the ICC or ICJ or enforcing warrants or restricting travel.
