Trade suspension refers to halting the exchange of goods, services, and financial activities between countries. In this context, it would mean ending or reducing economic interactions with Israel as a response to the ongoing conflict between Israel and Hamas. Proponents argue that suspending trade applies pressure on Israel to pursue peaceful resolutions and signals opposition to human rights abuses. Opponents argue that trade suspensions harm diplomatic relations, hurt economic interests on both sides, and may escalate tensions rather than promote peace.

Yes, to do with Military equipment not to do with immediate defence, as well as any institutions that promote or comply with hatred, not a blanket ban.
@9ZWLMYM3mos3MO
Israel can buy what ever they want from us, like the Taliban did.
@9ZZPXLZ 3mos3MO
Yes militarily (except for domestic self defence systems) and politically, unless the humanitarian and political situation improves both for Palestinians and Israelis.
@9ZL58VG4mos4MO
No it shouldn’t. Instead it should focus on peace talks in the region
@B26YXZC2mos2MO
Yes, Israel's government has crossed the line from self defense against Hamas to outright violence against Palestinian civilians
@B24Z63L3mos3MO
No, but demand less civilian casualties and more humanitarian aid in Gaza
@8SZTB3Z 3mos3MO
No trade in military or related goods. Suspending supplies of other goods (foodstuff, clothing etc.) could indirectly impact the innocent Palestinian people (i.e. not Hamas supporters, of whom there are plenty!) and exacerbate their already difficult situation.
@9ZKW6D64mos4MO
The uk should not be involved and be neutral because that would benefit us the most if we don't take a side
