Not Gaza 2025, but Jaffa 1948, after the Nakba

The Manshiya quarter of Jaffa was destroyed in a series of bombardments led by the Irgun during the 1948 Nakba in order to drive out its Palestinians inhabitants

Yesterday the High Court ruled it was for Parliament to scrutintise UK Gov's supply of Israel with warplane parts. Now the Gov can't hide behind "its for the courts", they must reveal their Gaza genocide assessment & stop withholding info on targeting of civilians news.sky.com/story/govern...

🚨 Monday @ 10.30am we will have a decision! Together with @alhaq_org we challenged UK weapons exports to Israel which are being used to commit atrocity crimes in Gaza. Stay tuned.

We forced the UK gov to reveal it's assessment that Israel is not committed to complying with int'l law. The UK now argues that continuing to supply Israel's war planes is key to maintaining "international peace & security".

On Tuesday we intend to challenge this absurdity.
Important update: The High Court hearing has been moved back a day and will now begin on the 13 May 2025. Al Haq
and GLAN are fighting to uphold international law and end UK arms exports to Israel. #StopArmingIsrael

Israeli warplanes rely on international supply chains. 15% of the F35 jet is sourced from the UK & exports continue

On May 12 we will be in the High Court in London with Al Haq challenging these transfers. The UK Gov could end their complicity now but are opting to enable genocide

We are working to stop involvement of economic service providers, like the London Metal Exchange in serious human rights and environmental harms. #westpapua
GLAN & @ldnminingnetwork.bsky.social act against 'dirty copper' on the London Metal Exchange. We've filed a complaint with the Financial Conduct Authority warning copper from Grasberg Mine, West Papua could constitute 'criminal property' due to serious environmental harms caused by its production.

Israel's targeting of the Irish gov has nothing to do with anti-Semitism nor distraction. Others have recognized Palestine & intervened in the ICJ case. Whats different? The Irish gov will pass the Occupied Territories Bill banning goods & services from illegal settlements. Israel is price tagging.

1 million children are being starved & bombed in Gaza.

The UK is doing everything it can to continue to supply warplanes sold to Israel. We have just forced them to review this & Amnesty's report adds pressure

David Lammy, don't fight this in court, end all arms exports now.
