Ministry Of Defence And Israel

EDM number 1337 in 2001-02, proposed by George Galloway on 20/05/2002.

That this House notes the Ministry of Defence is in the process of selecting the Israeli Gil-Spike anti-tank missile, a weapon secretly tested then openly used against civilian targets in Israeli-occupied territories; notes that a number of Lebanese civilians were killed and injured when clearly targeted by the missile between 1998 and 1999 and that the first operational use of the missile in the Palestinian territories was against a civilian house in Beit Jala; notes that wilful targeting of civilians is a war crime and should be opposed and not rewarded; and calls upon Her Majesty's Government not to purchase this anti-tank missile.

This motion has been signed by a total of 45 MPs.
