In 2005 the UK government licensed the sale of £22.5m worth of arms to Israel, more than twice the amount in 2004, and spent millions of pounds on 'battle-tested' arms from Israeli companies. British equipment licensed by the UK Government for supply to Israel includes weapon control systems, ammunition, components for rockets and missiles, and key parts for Israel's Apache attack helicopters and F-16 fighter jets.
These have been deployed against civilian populations in southern Lebanon and Gaza, as well as to maintain the illegal occupation of the Palestinian Territories.

We, the undersigned, call on the UK government to initiate an immediate embargo on both arms sales to Israel and arms purchases from Israeli military industry. We also urge other governments to do likewise. Sign this petition online at:  http://www.stoparmingisrael.org/statement
