Last summer’s assault on Gaza, which killed over 2,200 Palestinians, was one of the most brutal effects of Israel’s ongoing occupation and colonisation of historic Palestine. The massacre was carried out using drones manufactured by Israeli arms company Elbit Systems. In response, activists occupied Elbit’s factory in Shenstone, causing its operations to grind to a halt and costing Elbit over £100,000.
On 6th July, to mark the first anniversary of the assault on Gaza, groups and campaigners from across the UK are going back to Elbit’s factory to demand that the UK stops arming Israel. Join us for a day of creative action in solidarity with Palestine!

The protest has been endorsed by numerous groups and organisations in the UK and around the world – including BHPSC. We have booked a minibus and really want to fill it up. We are also keen to recruit drivers for the minibus. To book your place on the minibus, or for further details, please use the contact link at the bottom of the page.
