November 20, 2025 Chris Hedges, Scheer Post. , , , , ,
Filmmaker, author and journalist Antony Loewenstein documents how Israel has used Gaza as a weapons showcase. Spyware, killer drones, robot dogs and other weapons are debuted in Gaza and field-tested on the civilian population, demonstrating their effectiveness to regimes around the world that await their chance to purchase them. Loewenstein joins host Chris Hedges on this episode of The Chris Hedges Report to chronicle what he has learned from writing The Palestine Laboratory: How Israel Exports the Technology of Occupation Around the World and producing The Palestine Laboratory, a documentary based on the book.

Sudan Urges London Halt UAE Arms Sales Over RSF Atrocities

October 31, 2025 News Desk, The Cradle. , , , , , , ,
Sudan has urged the UK to end arms sales to the UAE, following reports that a Dubai-backed militia accused of genocide in Darfur has been equipped with British weapons. Sudan said in a report provided to the UN Security Council that the Rapid Support Forces (RSF), an anti-government Sudanese militia, has received British small-arms targeting systems and engines for military vehicles. Reports have surfaced in recent days of RSF militiamen massacring some 2,000 civilians in El-Fasher, after taking control of the city in the Darfur region in southwest Sudan.

UAE Funnels British Weapons To Sudan Militia Committing Genocide

October 29, 2025 News Desk, The Cradle. , , , , ,
UK weapons and military equipment supplied by the UAE to the Rapid Support Forces (RSF) are being spotted on the Sudanese battlefield, according to a 28 October report by The Guardian. The report cites two dossiers of documents, which have reportedly been seen by the UN Security Council. Small-arms target systems and personnel carrier engines made by London are among the equipment being found in Sudan, the report says. The report has also highlighted the UK’s role in fueling the Sudan conflict. “Months after the UN Security Council first received material alleging that the UAE may have supplied British-made items to the RSF, new data indicates that the British government went on to approve further exports to the Gulf state for military equipment of the same type,” The Guardian notes.

New Yorkers Organize Against Weapons Components Manufacturer

October 28, 2025 Ananya Natchukuri, The Indypendent. , , , ,
On June 24, 2024, an Israeli airstrike targeted the Al-Daraj clinic in Gaza City, killing five, including key medical personnel. Recovered from the ensuing rubble was the remnant of a Hellfire missile, strewn amidst the chaos of destruction it unleashed on the clinic in moments prior. The AGM-114 Hellfire, a brand of precision-guided weaponry, is manufactured by Lockheed Martin, funded through U.S. federal contracts, and often purchased by Israel through American foreign military sales. While Lockheed Martin is the prime contractor responsible for manufacturing the Hellfire missile, it procures key components from Mini-Circuits, a company specializing in the manufacture of radio frequency (RF) and microwave components.

UK Exposed For Breaching The Nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty

September 27, 2025 The Canary. , , ,
A new legal opinion launched on the International Day for the Total Elimination of Nuclear Weapons has found that the UK’s plans to expand its nuclear weapons programme by purchasing nuclear-capable F-35A fighter jets from the US is in breach of its disarmament commitments under the nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty. The purchase means that the UK, for the first time since the end of the Cold War, will have two delivery systems for nuclear weapons and a renewed nuclear mission for the Royal Air Force (RAF) since it retired its sovereign air-launched nuclear weapons. The UK will deploy the F-35s under NATO’s nuclear Dual Capable Aircraft mission. They will be able to deliver both conventional and the nuclear B61-12 guided nuclear bomb.

Activists Launch Campaign To Expel Arms Company From Romania

September 26, 2025 Ana Vracar, People's Dispatch. , , , , , ,
A coalition of Romanian and international groups standing in solidarity with Palestine has launched the “Elbit Out!” campaign, aiming to expel Israeli arms manufacturer Elbit Systems from Romania. Elbit is one of Israel’s largest arms manufacturers and is present in Romania with three companies, the organizers explain. “There, it manufactures components for weapons that have been tested on Palestinians and are partly still used in Gaza today.” According to statements of Israeli officials, Elbit facilities in Brașov and Bacău, along with a production site in Măgurele outside Bucharest, made Romania the company’s third-largest manufacturing hub in 2021 – behind only Israel and the United States. The arms producer’s presence has been a constant for years, with early 2010s reports already highlighting its peculiar position in Romania.

SJSU Pro-Palestine Students Disrupt Career Fair With Silent Action

September 14, 2025 John Durovan, Fight Back! News. , , , , ,
San Jose, CA – On September 10, San Jose Students for a Democratic Society alongside various other SJSU students held a silent protest outside a career fair where Lockheed Martin, notorious weapons manufacturer and supporter of the Gaza genocide, had a table. San Jose State University held the “Business, Financial Services and Logistics Job and Internship Fair” at 11 a.m. in the Student Union Ballroom. The career fair on the school’s website claims to attract over 600 students. Lockheed Martin was present at the event, intent on recruiting students to participate in what they call “defense,” which is in fact the design and manufacture of warplanes, helicopters and munitions which are used by the Israeli military to bomb and murder thousands of Palestinians a month.

Brooklyn Activists And Residents Are Banding Together Against Genocide

September 6, 2025 Joseph Mogul, Mondoweiss. , , , , , ,
Most New Yorkers are not aware that companies contributing to Israel’s genocide in Gaza operate in their backyard. That is, unless they happen to walk, bike, or drive down Flushing Avenue outside the Brooklyn Navy Yard on a Wednesday afternoon, as I did a month ago—in which case, they are absolutely aware. The campaign Demilitarize Brooklyn Navy Yard (DBNY) organizes weekly noise demos and pickets, demanding the eviction of two companies from the city-owned industrial park on the East River, where 550 businesses are located. Protestors bang drums, blare airhorns, picket, chalk sidewalks, fold zines, and hand out flyers reading: “MEET YOUR NEIGHBORS, EASY AERIAL & CRYE PRECISION, LOCAL WEAPONS MANUFACTURERS IN OUR BACKYARDS.”

Labour Just Banned Israel From The UK’s Biggest Arms Fair

August 31, 2025 The Canary. , , ,
The Labour Party government has now confirmed that it has decided to bar Israel’s official delegation from taking part in the UK’s largest arms fair. Israel had been planning to attend the Defence and Security Equipment International (DSEI) in London this September. While campaigners have welcomed the news, they’ve also slammed the UK government for its “cowardly” handwringing – since it was actually the Israeli government that pulled its country pavilion from the event. The Defence and Security Equipment International (DSEI) opens at London’s ExCeL centre on 9 September. DSEI takes place biennially. Its website has been indicating the presence of a dedicated Israeli country pavilion.

Pentagon Authorizes DC Guard Contingent To Carry Weapons Of War

August 24, 2025 Jacob Crosse, WSWS.org. , , , ,
On Friday, President Donald Trump threatened to extend the current military occupation of Washington D.C. to other major US cities, including Chicago, San Francisco, New York and Los Angeles. His threats to essentially impose martial law on major American cities came the same day the Pentagon confirmed that the over 2,000 National Guard soldiers currently occupying D.C. would begin carrying weapons of war. Speaking first at the Kennedy Center and again inside the Oval Office, Trump, wearing a red hat with the phrase “Trump Was Right About Everything,” said he was receiving calls “from politicians begging me to go to Chicago, begging me to go to New York, begging me to go to Los Angeles.”

A Direct Action Group Is Taking Up Palestine Action’s Mantle

August 12, 2025 The Canary. , , ,
On both 10 and 11 August, a direct action group called ‘DISMANTLE’ targeted two companies which enable Israel’s genocide of the Palestinian people. In the early hours of 10 August, the group targeted Stemmer Imaging of Tongham, Surrey. Stemmer are a key supplier to Teledyne, who supply the Israeli military with vital equipment, including parts for the F-35 jets, which are central to their offensive air capability. In a short video posted by the DISMANTLE group, an activist uses a traditional shepherd’s sling, as used in Palestine for centuries, to hurl projectiles at the Stemmer Imaging premises. DISMANTLE concluded with a short statement.

Pentagon Paves Way To Reclaim Ukraine-Bound Arms To US Stockpiles

August 9, 2025 News Desk, The Cradle. , , ,
A memo written by the US Defense Department’s policy chief will allow US weapons and equipment earmarked for Ukraine to be diverted back into US stockpiles, CNN reported on 8 August. According to four people who have read the memo, the policy represents “a dramatic shift” that could see billions of dollars of weapons redirected to shore up dwindling US supplies. The memo was written last month by US Undersecretary of Defense for Policy Elbridge Colby, but has become public ahead of US President Donald Trump’s planned meeting with Russian President Vladimir Putin. The meeting is tentatively scheduled for next week. Items desired by Ukraine’s military that are in short supply in the US include interceptor missiles, Patriot air defense systems, and artillery ammunition.

Brooklyn Navy Yard Has Palestinian Blood On Their Hands

July 29, 2025 Emmy, Workers' World. , , , , ,
New York City - The Brooklyn Navy Yard is a manufacturing complex that is heavily involved in military research and technological development. Originally a shipbuilding facility for the U.S. Navy, BNY now aids and abets the genocide of people living on Turtle Island and West Asia. Hidden among art studios and food vendors, the Navy Yard leases space to two companies that directly supply military equipment and tactical gear to the Israel Occupation Forces: Easy Aerial and Crye Precision. Founded by Ivan Stamavski and former IOF soldier Ido Gur in 2015, Easy Aerial is an Israeli-U.S. drone manufacturer that supplies autonomous unmanned aerial vehicles to the IOF for use across West Asia.

Charleston Speaks Out Against Israeli Weapons Factory, Arms Shipments

July 26, 2025 Fight Back! News. , , ,
Charleston, SC – On July 22, members of the Elbit Out of South Carolina Coalition (EOSC) spoke out at a Charleston County council meeting against Elbit Systems America, a subsidiary of Israeli weapons manufacturer Elbit Systems. Elbit provides 80% of Israel’s land based weaponry and 85% of its drones. In the summer of 2023, Elbit built a facility in Ladson, South Carolina which produces the SIGMA Next-Generation Mobile Tactical Cannon – a massive 150mm vehicle-mounted gun – for the Israeli military. “Make no mistake, there will come a day when everyone, including members of this council, act as if they were always against the genocide, just as people now act as if it was obvious to oppose Jim Crow or South African Apartheid,” one speaker told the council.

Israel’s Genocide Is Big Business

July 23, 2025 Jonathan Cook, Scheer Post. , , ,
The Financial Times revealed this month that a cabal of Israeli investors, one of the world’s top business consulting groups and a think-tank headed by former British prime minister Tony Blair had been secretly working on plans to exploit the ruins of Gaza as prime real estate. The secret consortium appears to have been seeking practical ways to realise US President Donlad Trump’s “vision” of Gaza as the “Riviera of the Middle East”: transforming the small coastal enclave into a playground for the rich and an enticing investment opportunity, once it can be ethnically cleansed of its Palestinian population.
