HOW COME NONE OF THE AFRICAN COUNTRIES HAVE CLOSED THEIR TIES WITH ISRAEL? Unlike the US, many countries are moving in the opposite direction and shying away from importing or exporting military equipment with Israel.
On Monday, Spain imposed an arms embargo on Israel and the United Kingdom said it would review all of its multi-billion pound military contracts. The French president has called the situation in Gaza a "massacre," while this week, the US State Department condemned an Israeli bombing on a school as "appalling."
And last week, five Latin American nations – Ecuador, Brazil, Chile, Peru and El Salvador – withdrew their ambassadors from Tel Aviv. Other countries suspended free-trade talks and Bolivia canceled a visa-exemption that was popular with Israeli backpackers.
The withdrawal of Brazil's ambassador now threatens key arms sales as the biggest customers of Israel's arms industry – the sixth largest in the world – are the US, India, and Brazil, according to Shir Hever, a leftist Israeli economist.
Britain is also a prominent military trading partner and its announced "review" could imperil government-approved exports to Israel worth more than $13.1 billion, according to a report by a parliamentary committee last month. These include the sale of body armor, drone components, and missile parts.

Without God, our week would be: Sinday, Mournday, Tearsday,Wasteday, Thirstday, Fightday & Shatterday. Remember seven days without God makes one WEAK!!"And if Allah touches you with harm, none can remove it but He, and if He touches you with good, then He is Able to do all things." (6:17)
