David Lammy falsely claimed that the UK is not exporting military equipment for use by Israel in Gaza, ignoring the F-35 components the government has specifically chosen to continue supplying, as an exception to the UK's export control criteria.
We cannot stay silent in the face of this repression and condemn Police Scotland for using terrorism powers on people taking direct action
This is an attack on our civil liberties, an attack on our right to protest, and an attack on our rights to speak up for Palestinian people.
We cannot rely on our institutions to uphold international law, we can only rely on ourselves and the power we have to create change.
Let’s be clear. Direct action is not terrorism and taking action against genocide profiteers is not terrorism.
Our government is complicit in the death of every Palestinian child. Our government is complicit in genocide.
The UK government touts its big increases in military spending - at the expense of overseas aid and the basic needs and dignity of disabled people in the UK - as not only necessary for security, but as a key driver of growth and innovation.

CAAT would not exist without its supporters. Each new supporter helps us strengthen our call for an end to the international arms trade.
