CAA called suspension of 30 arms exports to Israel ‘obscene’ and said UK’s decisions were ‘hostile to Jewish state’

The Charity Commission is assessing a statement by the Campaign Against Antisemitism in which it called the government’s decision to suspend 30 arms export licences to Israel “obscene”.

The review follows a complaint by the former shadow chancellor John McDonnell, who wrote to the commission asking how the blogpost was consistent with the CAA’s stated charitable objectives, amid allegations that it represents improper political activity.
