My recent interview on Politics Joe, explaining how the US, UK & EU could stop the killing in Gaza within a couple of weeks. By stopping arms supplies to Israel. By not doing so they are complicit in the slaughter

Three years ago today Israel killed my family.

The arms industry ranks these companies as “anti-corruption”, but they each appear in multiple corruption cases in the Corruption Tracker.

Saudi Arabia's war on Yemen has plunged millions into a humanitarian crisis. Instead of ending its involvement, the UK is doubling down.
Read the letter we organised on behalf of ten unions calling on the UK to end military cooperation with the KSA:

Anduril will soon be taking all the billion-dollar contracts for autonomous weapons from Western governments like Australia and across Europe, locking our "security" even further into the US tech-bro mentality of warmongers like Palmer Luckey

Detailed and acute review of Making A Killing, the new book from my SWI colleagues (with a little help from me). Very excited this will be out in November, and that people will get to hear from a new generation of incredible investigators: Ruth Rohde and Jack Cinamon.
In Making a Killing, the authors argue that “the arms trade is the backbone of state power under US hegemony", with Israel and Saudi Arabia representing two “strategic poles” of maintaining US power in the Middle East

In the US targeting of Osama bin Laden, there was a set civilian casualty threshold of 30. In Gaza, it was reportedly 15-20 civilians per junior Hamas member, over 100 civilians for a senior official, and 300 civilians were approved as collateral to kill commander Ayman Nofal.

Naza is an incredible film. Unflinching, suffocating, devastating.
The ongoing Gaza genocide is undeniable at this point. Undeniable.
There must be justice.

Israeli spyware targeted "hundreds of millions" through zero-click ads, researchers find. Millions of people have been affected, including Al Jazeera devices, by first-ever zero-click spyware delivered through advertisements

Our latest investigation exposes a British man who fought for the Israeli army in Gaza when war crimes appear to have been committed.
Jonathan Burman, who is in his mid-20s and from Manchester, posted photographs on his Instagram account showing him fighting in Khan Younis early in the conflict.
Newly discovered images show Burman standing in front of a primary school in Gaza that had been set on fire, as a fellow soldier smiles beside him.
Will the UK government investigate dual nationals who fought for Israel during a genocide?

NEW: Four months ago, the photo of a British man smiling in front of a burning building in Gaza set my @declassifiedUK colleagues and I on a search to find out what he exactly he was doing.
