UK arms supply to Israel: “We must not accept this as normal”, campaigners say

In response to the latest government figures on UK arms sales to Israel, Tim Bierley, campaigner at Global Justice Now said:

Despite the breath-taking scale and brutality of Israel’s war crimes in Gaza, the UK has given the green light to huge shipments of weapons to the country, including components for military aircraft and guns.

Israel has justly become an international pariah and it’s clear to most people that the UK must cut off the supply of arms to a country under investigation for genocide.

The leaders of many countries, including Canada, the Netherlands and Spain, have taken steps to do so, but the British government has opted instead for complicity in war crimes. We must not accept this as normal.”
