Brilliant teach out at @uos_encampment with @davidwearing and @StavrianakisA on history of British involvement in Palestine and the arms trade. British-made components maintain fighter jets over Gaza enacting collective punishment reminiscent of imperial violence through time.

"The arms industry helps to maintain status as a global power...you maintain that by selling arms and the Saudis are big customers." Saudi Arabia's strategic value to the UK has given Mohammed bin Salman special status, says David Wearing international relations expert.
