      Switzerland has been selling weapons to Israel since 1955 from what I can tell, and I haven’t been able to find any info that they’ve stopped recently

      I see new licenses have been suspended in recent years, but I’ve also read that doesn’t prevent sales from older licenses.

        So they’re as neutral as they were during WWII when they continued trading with the Nazis.

        Its actually just a mirror image at that point.

          TBF we (the US) were technically neutral prior to December 1941 but we traded like crazy with the British and engaged in all sorts of neutrality violations like repairing British warships in US ports. Hell, Lend-Lease was us just straight up giving war materiel to Britain and the USSR. We were even fighting a de facto war with Germany in the Atlantic.

        But Israel called Switzerland anti semitic and will do it again if Switzerland doesn’t do what they ask

          Well gee, we could return the things stolen from Jews by Nazis… or we could just sell weapons to Israel. That’s easier and more profitable!
