🇵🇸 Dutch rights groups take government to court over arms to Israel | Middle East Eye –
Human rights groups are challenging the Dutch government in court, arguing it is complicit in alleged Israeli violations of international law in Gaza by supplying F-35 fighter jet parts.
The suit, brought by Oxfam Novib, PAX and The Rights Forum, comes after a Dutch newspaper reported that the government allowed a delivery of the components despite foreign ministry lawyers warning that Israel was committing serious violations of humanitarian law.
The components, made by the #US-based #LockheedMartin, are stored at a warehouse in the #Netherlands and then shipped to #Israel and other countries.
"The government allowed itself to be blackmailed by Israel and the US - at the expense of Palestinian lives," The Rights Forum has said.

🇮🇷The #Fordow Nuclear plant near the holy Shiite city of #Qom, which is said to be an inaccessible target for Israel, is indeed a seriously protected facility, and if the United States can qualitatively change something in the current conflict by intervening on the side of Israel, then this is exactly the case.
What to hit a buried object in a mountainous area with? The MOP – Massive Ordnance Penetrator, a 14-ton aerial bomb capable of penetrating up to 60 meters of soil, was developed specifically for such purposes in the United States. Considering that Fordow is reportedly deeper, more than one bomb will be needed. Of all the American aircraft, only the B-2 can carry it now. And here, of course, the biggest intrigue is whether the United States will really dare to strike and how effective it will be – this bomb must be dropped directly over the target, and in the Fordow area Iran has everything that can perform air defense tasks.
