Spain and Ireland say they are against it but still participate.

Not the populace mind you, but their governments.

Ireland illegally allows air transport of weapons to Israel through their airspace. Spain recently tried buying more Israeli weapons until a leftwing party threatened collapsing the government if they continued that deal.

The EU also recently announced almost $2 billion in funding for the Israeli mercenaries in the West Bank.
