A recent YouGov poll commissioned by Action For Humanity reveals strong public support for halting all British arms transfers to "Israel", with the widespread belief that "Israel’s" actions in Gaza amount to war crimes.

A recent poll by YouGov, commissioned by the aid agency Action For Humanity, shows continued support for ending British arms transfers to "Israel", despite partial measures from the Labour-led government, which are aimed at reducing only 10% of arms sales.

Conducted between October 16 and 17, the poll found that 76% of Labour voters still back a full halt to these transfers, a slight increase from 75% in April.

Nationally, fewer than 1 in 5 Brits oppose the ban, while around 3 in 5 support it. The poll also found that more than half of Brits across political lines and a significant 3 in 5 Labour supporters believe "Israel's" actions in Gaza amount to war crimes.

On his part, Charles Lawley, director of communications and advocacy at Action For Humanity International, explained that a majority of the British people reject any claim that there are no war crimes being committed by "Israel" in the Gaza Strip.

Lawley argued that "the overwhelming majority of the public demands that the UK government immediately cease all arms transfers to Israel, not just 10%, and take all actions to bring about a sustainable ceasefire," adding, "We believe that, unless the UK government stops ignoring the public, they will at best be impotent in the atrocities being committed in Gaza and Lebanon, at worst be complicit in them."

The UK government issued a halt on 30 out of 350 weapon export licenses in September after it was found that the weapons were potentially being used by "Israel" in attacks that violate international law in Gaza.

Humanitarians and human rights experts have slammed the UK for what has been described as a "half-measure" and an effort in "gesture politics".

UK offers 'Israel' psy-op tactics, arms, spyplanes: Declassified

Earlier last month, Declassified UK reported that leaked documents revealed that the United Kingdom had assisted Israeli occupation forces with psychological warfare techniques.

The British Army's 77th Brigade, primarily tasked with psychological warfare, discussed "strategy and tactics" with Israeli occupation forces, according to the report. 

The 77th Brigade's activities include cyberattacks, propaganda, and other online operations, which include social media activities. 

Meanwhile, the Israeli military command has heavily focused in its war on Gaza and aggression on Lebanon on spreading false information, fabricating narratives, and sowing strife among peoples of the region. 

Such operations can be conducted through social media accounts, officials, military statements, and most famously via the Israeli military command's spokespeople.

The 77th Brigade and the occupation's military had at least two exchanges, both of which took place at the Hermitage Barracks, in Berkshire, in the Brigade's headquarters. 

According to Declassified, the exchanges happened between 2018 and 2019, preceding the war on Gaza.
