Magnificent Campaign Against the Arms Trade
Despite overwhelming evidence of war crimes and crimes against humanity, Israel has been unconditionally supported by most western governments. The US remains Israel’s strongest supporter and leading arms supplier, but is closely followed by the UK, which also supplies significant quantities of military equipment to Israel.
CAAT has joined with the global movement standing in solidarity with the Palestinian people. We’ve called for a ceasefire and the release of hostages by Hamas and Palestinian prisoners by Israel. And, of course, we’ve been opposing arms sales to Israel. In collaboration with allies and partners, we have exposed the details of UK arms supplies to Israel, and the companies and factories involved - making this information as widely available as possible (including through our recent fact sheet – which you can find on our website). CAAT’s data on arms sales has been widely cited in the media. CAAT supporters across the country have organised and joined protests and solidarity actions as part of the broader movement.
