A magnificent movement of solidarity with Gaza is rolling out across the country.

Chanting "shame on you", some 100 antiwar protesters blocked a meeting that was going to be addressed by Israeli colonel Geva Rapp last night.

There has been widespread criticism of Israel and its assault on Gaza – but where do its weapons come from? Israel buys arms from around the world as well as manufacturing many of its own. And it has strong links to Britain’s arms industry, currently the world’s second largest after the US.

The US and its close allies have been engaged in an offensive on several fronts since 11 September 2001. Their aim has been to entrench the global dominance of US imperialism. Barack Obama has entered the White House at a key moment in that offensive.

Israel has reduced Gaza to a wasteland. It has killed over 1,300 people, around a third of them ­children. Thousands more have been left injured, homeless and traumatised. The United Nations describes Gaza as a site of "utter devastation".
