UK Courts Fine Citizens While Israel Pounds Gaza with UK Parts
The story details court appearances for alleged supporters of Palestine Action, an organization that targets defense contractors supplying Israel. Meanwhile, mainstream media often fails to highlight the UK's complicity: 15% of components for F-35 fighter jets used by Israel are made in the UK. (Source: Campaign Against Arms Trade, CAAT ). That's a lot of 'support' for one side, but only citizen
protests seem to warrant legal action. One might wonder where the real disruption lies: in property damage, or in the enabling of conflict for profit? So, the UK government is busy prosecuting its own citizens for attempting to halt arms contracts with a nation widely accused of war crimes, while simultaneously profiting from those very war crimes. The optics are, shall we say, transparent. It's
almost as if 'law and order' applies vigorously to dissent, but rather loosely to, you know, genocide complicity.
