[News] Palestine Action Blockade Elbit's London Headquarters Again

[Anti-Imperialist News]

Yet again, Palestine Action have struck at the heart of Israel's 
murderous weapons industry, locking themselves on to the 
red-paint-spattered building at 77 Kingsway in London -- home to Elbit 
Industry's headquarters in the capital


Four activists stormed the building, which still bears the marks of our 
previous actions: red paint to remind of the blood of Palestinian 
civilians, shed by Elbit Systems' weaponry in their quest to corner the 
market on mass murder. Elbit Systems is Israel's biggest arms company, 
with nine sites in the UK, and is deeply entwined with the UK weapons 
industry. Elbit's weaponry - mostly unmanned drones, deployed with the 
press of a button - has an almost total monopoly on bombarding and 
surveilling Palestinians, and has deals with the UK and other countries 
that mean its weapons have been deployed in conflicts worldwide. It is 
therefore almost singlehandedly responsible for the deaths of 
Palestinians of all ages in occupied territory.


Today's action is one of several against Elbit Systems this week. May 15 
was Nakba Day, which marks 74 for years since the Nakba or "catastrophe" 
since Israel began a concrete campaign of violence and ethnic cleansing 
against Palestinians. And yet the Nakba is far from over: anyone 
following the news this week, or indeed over the month of Ramadan, will 
be no stranger to the fact that the Nakba has not stopped for even a day 
since 1948. The state of Israel and its high-tech weaponry, courtesy of 
Elbit systems, continue to murder Palestinians (including press, as in 
the case of beloved journalist Shireen Abu Aqla, who was murdered by 
Israeli soldiers this week), and to engage in targeted land 
expropriation, mass expulsion, and the desecration of sacred sites such 
as the Al-Aqsa mosque.


We say: This ends now. Not a moment more. We are here to shut Elbit down 
and end British complicity in Palestinian deaths, once and for all.


If you're in London, get down to 77 Kingsway WC2B 6ST with flags, 
banners, signs, and anything you can use to make noise and let Elbit 
Systems know they are not welcome.


We will not stop our targeted action until Elbit is shut down in the UK 
and worldwide. As long as the long Nakba continues, so will we.


Join our workshop tonight to find out how to take direct action to kick
