On Wednesday, for the third consecutive day, British and American warplanes carried out bombing attacks on Yemen. This came just hours after the Labour government of Prime Minister Keir Starmer and the Democratic Party’s Biden-Harris administration in Washington killed two people and injured five others in a bombing attack on a girl’s school near the city of Taiz, according to Yemeni media. The ongoing Anglo-American attacks aimed to punish and prevent the Ansarullah movement’s intervenion against Israel’s genocide in Palestine, highlight how London acts as the junior partner in the American empire. Joining us today to talk more about Britain’s role in the Israeli genocide as well as London’s increasingly draconian repression of activists supporting the rights of the Palestinian people is Matt Kennard. Matt is the co-founder and head of investigations at Declassified UK, a news website which focuses on British national security issues. He is the author of several books, including Irregular Army, which exposed neo-Nazis and other gangs recruited into the US military, and, most recently, Silent Coup, with Claire Provost, on how corporations overthrew democracy. Since its launch in 2019, Declassified UK has published many articles centering Palestine, including reporting on Britain’s Israel lobby and exposing the participation of British military and intelligence organizations in the genocide in Gaza. This is a segment from The Electronic Intifada's day 341 livestream. Ali Abunimah, Nora Barrows-Friedman, Jon Elmer and Asa Winstanley were joined by Matt Kennard, co-founder and head of investigations at Declassified UK, a news website which focuses on British national security issues.
