www.craigmurray.org.uk Palestine Action Supreme Court Hearing Day 1 [UPDATE: this article is now complete; I published just the start yesterday.]It was a remarkably mild early November morning at 6am as I left the Chelsea Cloisters hotel to get the tube to Westmin 💢On October 18, a Saudi-led coalition aircraft dropped a US-supplied 500-pound MK-82 bomb on a home sheltering 28 people in Saada, northern Yemen, according to a New York Times investigation.
Nine members of the al-Qahm family, including five children under the age of 10, were killed, and another 19 people were wounded, according to witnesses. The death toll and victims’ identities were corroborated by a casualty list provided by the Health Ministry in Sana’a.
The Times analyzed footage from the scene and satellite imagery, finding no evidence of Ansarallah forces or fortifications within half a mile of the family’s home. Yet a spokesperson for the Saudi-led coalition accused the family of “directly supporting the war effort.”
Ansarallah’s military spokesperson announced today that Saudi airstrikes and missile strikes have reached 4,264 since the latest escalation began.

NEW: Keir Starmer declared last year that the “peace dividend” was over, promoting the myth that Britain’s military spending has declined since the end of the Cold War.
Our latest report shows this simply isn’t true. 🧵View quoted post on X

Sanctioning settlement dates while shipping F-35 parts. That's the UK's policy in a nutshell. Yesterday Miliband announced a settlement trade ban — a genuine step. But when Victoria Derbyshire asked a simple question on Newsnight — will you stop arming Israel? — the minister's answer wasn't policy. It was "antisemitism." You can't sanction the occupation at breakfast and fuel its war machine at dinner. Either settlements and ethnic cleansing violate international law, or they don't. You don't get to pick and choose which parts of genocide to oppose. End the arms trade. All of it. Now. 🇵🇸View quoted post on X
