WE ARE part of the axis of war fighting to deprive the Palestinians of their birthright. We have been for decades. We are not just passive observers, supporters and suppliers — we are active participants in that war.

Most obviously, we supply and buy arms, but more importantly we co-operate on signals and other intelligence, on military systems we provide operational support and equipment, we allow the use of Cyprus as a supply base, we use the air force and navy for flyover and other logistics support. We trade, we supply unfettered access to finance and we fund and aid the occupation.

We need much more than an arms embargo — although it would be a start. We need Britain to withdraw from its long-standing alliance with the US and Israel to eliminate Palestine from the political and, now, the physical global map. We need to decouple from the US and decolonise from Israel.
