The appeals court also said it was likely the F-35s were being used in attacks on Gaza, leading to unacceptable civilian casualties. It dismissed the Dutch state’s argument that it did not have to do a new check on the permit for the exports.

The Dutch governmental argument is so weak lol. “They already have the export permit so there’s nothing that we can do” isn’t a real defense. Major kudos to the judges who held firm and said no more genocide.
