General Palestine Activism
The global, Palestinian-led struggle to dismantle Israeli apartheid and settler-colonialism mobilizes grassroot pressure and lobbies decision makers to end this oppressive system. This includes pressure to activate UN mechanisms to investigate Israeli apartheid as a first and necessary step towards dismantling it, so that the Indigenous Palestinian people can enjoy freedom, justice and equality.

BRICUP is an organisation of UK based academics, set up in response to the Palestinian Call for Academic Boycott. Its twin missions are:
- to support Palestinian universities, staff and students, and
- to oppose the continued illegal Israeli occupation of Palestinian lands with its concomitant breaches of international conventions of human rights, its refusal to accept UN resolutions or rulings of the International Court, and its persistent suppression of Palestinian academic freedoms
CAMPAIN stands for Campaign Against Misrepresentation in Public Affairs, Information and the News
CAMPAIN was founded in 2021 due to frustration about the poor media coverage of important topics – issues such as BREXIT, refugees and asylum seekers, global warming and minorities – covered in such a way as to skew public attitudes. Instead of reaching sustainable solutions, this exacerbates the problems that we face.

We aim to provide an ongoing and historical record for the Palestinian Genocide. The UK is fueling war crimes and a modern-day ethnic cleansing against a civilian population of over 2 million people, our politicians must be held to account.
Our country has a historic debt, to the world and to the Palestinian people.
The British Empire colonised 1/4 of the Earth’s surface and ruled over 1/5 of the world’s population, leaving behind a pattern of underdevelopment, poverty, illiteracy and the complete annihilation of several Indigenous peoples.
Palestine is no different.

Genocide in Gaza – Stop Arming Israel!
Israel’s genocidal war on Gaza has now continued for well over a year. At the time of writing (28th November 2024), Israel has killed 44,330 people in Gaza and injured over 104,933, with a further 11,000 missing, many of them trapped under the rubble. Many more have died and are dying from starvation and disease resulting from Israel’s destruction of the means of life in Gaza and their deliberate denial of aid.
This page presents some of the most recent information on the war and UK arms supplies, and links to key CAAT resources and materials. You can read CAAT’s most recent statement on the war and genocide here.
CAAT’s full set of pages on Israel, linked to from here, are awaiting an update. However, the most up-to-date information and resources relating to the current situation are available below.
Britain’s military embrace of Israel’s war on Gaza examined
From October 2023 to mid-2025, Britain provided sustained military, intelligence, and diplomatic support to Israel’s war in Gaza—reinforcing its operations while raising profound legal and ethical questions about UK complicity in alleged war crimes.
CND has consistently backed solutions to conflict and complex problems based on dialogue and justice and has been at the forefront of anti-war campaigning since the ‘war on terror’ was declared.
Defend Our Juries supports collective action to expose corruption of democracy and the rule of law.
Over the last few years juries have repeatedly acquitted those taking nonviolent direct action to advance climate and racial justice. These verdicts are deeply embarrassing to the government and the arms and oil industries. Industry lobbyists such as Lord Walney, who has now been fired from his position as an “independent” advisor, have promoted extraordinary measures to put a stop to them.
People have been banned from using the words ‘climate change’ in court and jailed just for defying that prohibition. Normally available legal defences have been removed. People have been arrested and prosecuted for displaying the legal principle that juries can acquit as a matter of conscience. Following sham trials, in which the verdict is essentially rigged, people are now being jailed in increasing numbers for years for peaceful acts of conscience. In the midst of the prisons crisis.
Europe will be democratised, once the oligarchy is overthrown!
Europe is ruled by oligarchs. They own the apartments we live in, the banks that keep our money, the vaccines that save our lives, the apps we need to work, the data these apps collect about us, the oil and gas that heat up our planet – and, more importantly, they own the politicians that were supposed to defend us against them. They are the result of a terrible system in which the rich are allowed to do whatever they like, while common people pay for when “whatever they like” doesn’t work out.
They pretend to care about democracy, but behind the scenes they use all their power and influence to make sure you have no say in how they do things. The nightmare of all oligarchs is real democracy.
Israel’s drone arsenal is infamously extensive, with the country among the earliest pioneers of UAV technologies, and their development clearly motivated by its concern for aerial control over the Occupied Territories. The Israeli Aerospace Industries Heron-1, a MALE-type surveillance drone, has been in operation since 2005 but remains integral to the country’s military, which is thought to possess as many as 250. A more ‘advanced’, armed model – the Eitan – is also in regular use, while the army is thought to operate a further 250 of Elbit’s Hermes drone – an often armed model, responsible for many of the most deadly strikes in the Gaza genocide. This includes a strike known to have killed seven World Central Kitchen aid workers in April 2024.
However, it is clear that Israel also operates an innumerable number of other, smaller drones, including quadcopters that are often fitted with armed capabilities – such as grenades and mounted snipers. In mid-2024, an investigation by Declassified UK revealed the UK MoD’s purchase and testing of new small drones built by Israeli firm Xtend, fitted with AI capabilities, and operated via virtual reality headsets – which make launching strikes “just like a game”, according to the firm’s co-founder. Declassified describes the drones as ‘battle-tested in Gaza’ – but there is every possibility they have also been deployed in this most recent West Bank onslaught. The UK has also procured several other drone systems – including the Elbit Thor mini-UAS, and the Elbit Magni-X micro-drone – from Israeli firms in recent years.
Majority of Brits support sanctions against Israel, new polling finds
Date: 5 June 2025
Campaigns: Palestine
The majority of Brits would support the UK putting economic sanctions on Israel, new polling has revealed. The polling, commissioned by campaign group Global Justice Now and carried out by Yonder Consulting, found that more than 3 in 5 Brits (62%) would support sanctions being imposed on Israel as a means to exert pressure on it to stop its attacks on Gaza. Just 11% said they would oppose sanctions. The polling also found that: Almost 7 in 10 Brits (65%) would support banning all arms sales to Israel until it ends its attacks on Gaza, with only 11% in opposition.
The Stop the War Coalition (StWC) was founded in September 2001 in the weeks following 9/11, when George W. Bush announced the “war on terror”. Stop the War has since been dedicated to campaigning against and ending the wars in Afghanistan, Iraq, Libya, Ukraine and elsewhere.
Stop the War opposes the British establishment’s disastrous addiction to war and its squandering of public resources on militarism. We have initiated many campaigns around these issues.
We are committed to supporting Palestinian rights, opposing racism and Islamophobia, and to the defence of civil liberties.
Since October 2023 we have been part of the national Palestine coalition of six pro-Palestinian organisations organising regular national marches in London and local actions in towns and cities around the country, in demand of an end of the genocide in Gaza, and end to UK arms sales to Israel and a free Palestine. Despite attempts by ministers and police, our demonstrations have seen well over a million people on the streets opposing the British government’s complicity in genocide.

L4P also seeks to raise awareness and stimulate discussion about the Palestine-Israeli occupation within the realms of international law and human rights. This involves presenting diverse viewpoints and establishing a comprehensive system to collect and record all developments and materials related to international law and the Question of Palestine.
