Shut Elbit Down!

[i-am-aprl]

“I can't bare to be an onlooker anymore of the devastation we're seeing in Gaza" -an actionist locked on to shut down Elbit's Bristol HQ

[taviamoth]

🚨 The CEO of the largest zionist weapons producer, Elbit Systems:

—

We are beginning to face difficulties in obtaining parts from countries that ban security exports to "israel" following the ongoing war on Gaza.

We assume that the "Iron Dome" system alone will not be able to confront Hezbollah's missile arsenal, and we are working on accelerating the production of a laser system.

We are facing difficulties after some countries banned supplying weapons to "israel."

Exports to the United States and Canada declined during the last quarter of last year.

Our profits decreased after closing factories in "Kiryat Shmona" and "Sderot."

Our production declined due to the drafting of 2,000 of our employees into the army and the killing of 5 workers.

Our profits decreased by 22% after the war on Gaza.

We were forced to shut down operations of a subsidiary of ours in the United States.

Our sales have recorded a decrease in the United States and Canada.

We are facing difficulties due to the BDS movement's attack on us.

Take Direct Action for Palestine

Image description: A black red and white graphic that reads "Direct Action Training Day Manchester. Apply to join: www.palestineaction.org/apply. Sunday 18th February 10am - 4pm Location TBC. To the left of the text is a cannister with Palestine Action stencilled on it. End description. Text from post: Britain is home to several Israeli weapons firms, including Israel’s largest weapons firm, Elbit Systems. Elbit manufacture tanks, bullets, drones and munitions for the Israeli military and market their weaponry as “battle-tested” on the Palestinian people. The Israeli war machine is operating in Britain, and through direct action we can stop it in its tracks. The British government has been complicit in the colonisation of Palestine for over 100 years - protests and lobbying efforts has failed to change that. This refusal for the powers that be to end their participation in Israeli war crimes, and the presence of Israeli weapons factories on our doorstep, demands a more effective and direct approach - direct action. In the words of the late David Graeber: “Protest is like begging the powers that be to dig a well. Direct action is digging the well yourself and daring them to stop you”  Palestine Action is running training days across the country, to bring together like minded people for a day of talks, trainings and group discussions. All of which is geared towards harnessing the strength of the grassroots and directing it towards bringing down Israel’s war machine.  Training days: MANCHESTER [Sunday 18th February 10AM-4PM] BIRMINGHAM [Saturday 24th February 2PM-7PM] LONDON [Sunday 25th February 11AM-5PM] BRISTOL [Sunday 3rd March 11AM-5PM] Apply to join at palestineaction.org/apply

What have we become? Murderers, war criminals, fascists.

“As a matter of priority, Australia should suspend all arms exports to Israel until it complies with the UN ceasefire resolutions. Australia policy aspires to be a leading weapons supplier. We must be careful what we wish for because the supply of weapons that enable war crimes to a military action that has all the characteristics of a genocide make Australia complicit in those actions. Failure to prevent, or suspend these sales, shows contempt for the United Nations and contempt for the international rules based order upon which Australia endlessly pontificates.”

Palestine Action

Hundreds join the mass blockade of Elbit’s drone factory in Shenstone. It’s only a matter of time before the people shut down the Israeli weapons makers for good!

Now: Manchester joining the blockade ongoing at Israel's Elbit Arms Factory UAV Engines at Shenstone, Staffordshire, the biggest profiteers from Israel's genocide in Gaza that has murdered over 26000 people including 12000 children. After 75 years of Israel's occupation and ethnic cleansing of Palestine no Israeli Arms factory can function on our streets. We won't stop, we will grow until the biggest gunrunners and death merchants are run out of town

Palestine Activists Are Planning to Besiege an Israeli Weapons Factory

“On 1 April, Palestine Action (PA) was only half-joking when it served Elbit Systems with an eviction notice. On 1 May, the group plans to occupy the Israeli weapons company’s Leicester factory for the second time in just over a year. Founded in July 2020 by a pair of longtime pro-Palestine activists disillusioned with polite resistance – co-founder Huda Ammori quit her job at the Palestine Solidarity Campaign after tiring of the NGO model of political campaigning – PA has earned a reputation as one of the UK’s most militant direct action groups. Andrew Feinstein, a South African anti-apartheid activist, arms trade expert and PA advisor, called the group ‘undoubtedly the most effective campaign against a specific arms company I’ve seen anywhere in the world’.

“The group’s sole target, Elbit Systems, is Israel’s largest private weapons manufacturer, which happens to have a major UK manufacturing base. PA’s preferred tactics are raids and occupations; images of its activists in red boiler suits and black balaclavas scaling and spraypainting redbrick buildings have become fixtures across mainstream media. Since launching, PA has occupied all five of Elbit’s UK sites, one of which the company sold off last January after multiple rooftop occupations; the company also abandoned its London HQ in the summer after PA activists occupied and defaced it. The Siege, which starts on 1 May, will see PA return to the Leicester factory they first occupied two years ago (activists were eventually removed by police after six days).

“At a time when many activists are feeling burned out by intensifying crises and relentless repression, PA keeps upping the ante. How do they do it? Feinstein attributes PA’s success in part to its laser focus on one target. Just as activists in his home country targeted Barclays and Royal Dutch Shell for their engagement with the apartheid government, rather than attempting to pressure the entire banking or oil sector, he says that PA has chosen its target ‘very cleverly’.”
