Musket, I think you must have misheard that quote if you have not made it up.

Andrew Smith is a spokesperson for Campaign Against Arms Trade.
"As long as Europe continues to give its unconditional military and political support to Israel then it has to bear a degree of responsibility for the ongoing conflict. "

"The EU policy is laid out in the EU/Israel Action plan, which states: "Israel and the EU will strive to intensify political, security, economic, scientific and cultural relations, and shared responsibility in conflict prevention and conflict resolution." Despite these rather heady words the arms sales and military collaboration has only continued, with EU nations taking a back seat, largely staying silent on Israel's actions. "

I previously provided an EU list of all its restrictions.
Arms to Israel was not mentioned.
