6:30 this morning,
Palestine Action
activists have been
occupying the Elbit
Ferranti factory in
Oldham, Greater
Manchester. The
site, used for
production of a
range of Israeli
weapons
technologies, has
been blockaded -
with vehicles
obstructing
entrances and
activists locked
onto gates. The
factory building has
been scaled and the
site fully occupied,
as activists prevent
operations and the
production of arms
bound for Israel.</span></p>
<p style="margin: 0;"><br>
</p>
<p style="margin: 0;"><span
style="font-family:
"Century
Gothic",
Calibri, Helvetica,
Arial, sans-serif;">This
action is being
taken to undermine
the production of
weapons and military
components by
Israel's largest
arms company, Elbit
Systems, who market
their products as
"battle-tested" on
Palestinians.
Today's action
follows further
Israeli aggression
in Palestine - in
the past week,
Israeli raids into
the West Bank and
Gaza have killed
dozens, while
Israeli forces also
violently repress
Palestinian
civilians who had
been commemorating
the burning of the
Al-Aqsa Mosque. This
aggression against
protestors has
involved opening
fire on children,
with one 13 year old
in critical
condition after
being shot in the
head. The
technologies and
components thereof
used by Israeli
police for this
repression, as well
as the aircraft used
to launch subsequent
air raids on Gaza,
are often produced
by Elbit Systems,
Elbit Ferranti, or
any number of other
subsidiaries
including UAV
Tactical Systems,
IMI Systems or
others.</span></p>
<p style="margin: 0;"><br>
</p>
<p style="margin: 0;"><span
style="font-family:
"Century
Gothic",
Calibri, Helvetica,
Arial, sans-serif;">The
Elbit Ferranti site
in Oldham is
specifically used
for the manufacture
of specialist
military products
and technology -
including the SkEye
persistent
surveillance system
for Elbit's Hermes
450 and 900 drones,
both of which have
been used
extensively in
successive Israeli
bombardments of
Gaza. Ferranti
advertise the
manufacture of the
SpectroXR ultra-long
range imaging system
at the Oldham site -
which is again used
in Hermes drones.
The site is also
used in the
manufacture of
IronVision helmets
for use in battle
tans such as the
Carmel, which have
been designed
specifically for
operations in
densely built, urban
areas (Gaza). </span></p>
