France has banned Israeli companies from participating in this year’s annual Eurosatory arms and defence industry exhibition in Villepinte near Paris next month, the event’s organisers and the French Defence Ministry said on Friday, Reuters reports.

“Following a decision by government authorities, there will not be an Israeli stand at the Eurosatory 2024 salon,” a spokesperson for the organisers said via email.

The Defence Ministry told Reuters that: “Conditions are no longer met to host Israeli companies at the show at a time when the President is calling for Israel to cease operations in Rafah.”

This is humorous to me because they’re banning Isreal from a “War” convention for doing the thing that almost always comes with war, genocide, and what Israel argues it is doing, war.

It’s more complicated than that I know, but something about this is making me laugh.

Depends, the way israel targets civilians this blatantly and annexes their land is fairly unique. Putting 2 million people in a concentration camp and then bombing it to rubble isn't that conventional.
