Originally posted by George Smiley Well we are Israel's biggest trading partner but we have sod all influence over them! And we do use sanctions sometimes (altho we are opposed in principle to using them as a tool of foreign policy) and the Parliament even voted for sanctions against Israel but was vetoed by the Commission or the Council so Yoepus, you are a very lucky little boy!!!

Diplomacy and international relations is a very fluid and delicate process...nobody has ever actually cared about "someone else", everyone ONLY cares for the benefit and end result of his own country's agenda

Although I didn't know that Britain is Israel's biggest trading partner (if that's what you meant be "we"). That's pretty cool considering I love Britain hehe...


*EDIT*

Actually now that I think about it, Israel used to be in British hands, as a mandate, that's one of the few areas that was controlled by Britain rather than France for example...so it would make a lot of sense that Britain would be in close relations with Israel.

Gotcha...well that's very cool
Actually living in Canada I have to say that a lot of the dairy and food products here are not comparable to what Israel exports (and the EU of course...mmmm cheese and dairy products in Holland, yummy!!!), there is a lot of quality things being produced there so I can definitely see why. Israel is also HUGE in high-tech manufacturing and development
