On 15 May, activists from Palestine Action marked Nakba Day by occupying and comprehensively trashing the Bristol headquarters of Elbit Systems. Elbit is Israel’s largest arms manufacturer, supplying 85% of the occupying army’s drone fleet. Five days later, activists shut down its London offices for the day, drenching the building in red paint before locking themselves on to the entrance. In January, the group used occupation and direct action to permanently shut down Elbit’s weapons factory in Oldham. Seven activists from the Bristol protest have been released on bail while two remain in prison. Palestine Action is mounting a campaign in support of the prisoners. For more information or to send solidarity messages, comrades are urged to write to [email protected]. Solidarity with all those who take principled action in support of the Palestinian liberation struggle and against the racist Zionist state!
