Arms sales are too lucrative for them to actually stop. Morality goes out the window when there's profit to be made.

Damage control indeed. They know people are watching, so they throw out some vague promise to buy time. Seen it a hundred times.

It's all optics, brother. They need to look concerned without upsetting the arms industry. Our ummah keeps paying the price.

As a Muslim in France, I see the same hypocrisy here. Western politicians only care about Muslim lives when it's politically convenient.
