We’re fundraising for our 2026 book Making a Killing - exposing Western complicity and profiteering in the ongoing slaughter in Gaza and Yemen.
If you have the capacity, please support this work holding those complicit to account.

Please give only what you can
Let’s hold the arms industry to account. ✊
For decades, the arms trade has sold us the lie that war brings peace and weapons keep us safe. SWI is exposing how the horrors in Gaza and Yemen prove the opposite.
We’re creating a new book, "Making a Killing", led by Andrew Feinstein, bringing together global experts and people living with the impacts of these weapons every day - but we need your support to make it happen.

'I just don't buy it.'
Professor Anna Stavrianakis of @shadowworldinv1.bsky.social criticizes the UK government's position that it can't track parts for its F-35 programme with Israel.

Bear in mind the excruciating detail that civil society experts are required to give, to even make the case for considering restrictions on arms exports. But the state just gets to say “international peace and security” and the legal system and public opinion are supposed to just accept it
There is NO meaningful detail of ANY “alleged damage” to int. peace & security - it’s all in the closed papers. Only Special Advocates & judge can see those. Observers will scour the eventual judgment for insight. But this is carte blanche exercise of state power. What work is law doing here?
It’s hard to overstate this: the govt is saying that “the alleged damage to international peace and security” that suspending F35 parts might have was “a matter of such gravity … that it would have overridden” any serious breaches of IHL in Gaza
Anna Stavrianakis outside the High Court this morning as Al-Haq and @glanlaw.bsky.social challenge the UK government over the continued export of arms making their way to Israel. The judicial review spanning four days will focus on the carve-out for F-35 jet parts.
Norway’s ‘ethical’ wealth fund divests from Israel’s largest petrol station chain, Paz. A welcome move—but no smokescreen for its stake in half of the top 100 arms firms, many fuelling Israel’s genocide in Gaza.

Investments and spending on the arms industry in order to provide jobs and strengthen the economy is a complete fallacy.

The revelations of ongoing transfers by Germany of components for fighting vehicles, other arms & ammo to Israel comes just in time for the submission of the arguments to the ICJ on 21 July 2025 in the case accusing Germany of complicity in Israel's atrocity crimes and grave breaches of int'l law.
Israel stands accused of genocide. Every day, hundreds of people are being murdered in Gaza. Germany has an obligation under domestic and international law not to facilitate these crimes and yet it continues to send weapons. It's time to #StopArmingIsrael
Israel also imported millions worth of other arms and ammunition from Germany. Yet, this is not even the full picture as information that can be gathered from customs data is very limited.
Germany supplied fighting vehicle components to Israel every month except November of 2024.
By analysing Israeli import customs data, we were able to get a rare glimpse of some of the arms delivered to Israel last year.
For a few months in 2024, it looked like Germany had slowed down its licensing for arms exports to Israel. But at the end of the day, what matters are arms deliveries. And Germany does not publish what arms are actually delivered.
🔴BREAKING: SWI can reveal Germany supplied arms to Israel throughout 2024. This includes 3.7 million Euros worth of fighting vehicle components.

Open Secrets and @shadowworldinv1.bsky.social made a complaint to the JSC about the conduct of Judges Seriti and Musi in the infamous Seriti Commission into the Arms Deal, that deliberately whitewashed the affair.
