In California, activists blocked all entrances to Lockheed Martin’s research campus in Sunnyvale, laying down in the rain to prevent employees from entering. Lockheed Martin is the largest arms manufacturer and supplies Israel with F-35s, F-16s, Hellfire missiles and other weapons used against Palestinians. At one point, a Lockheed Martin employee was filmed driving his car through a line of activists, nearly running them over, before lashing out and yelling, “Somebody’s gonna die,” while waving a knife. This is Christina Liu, an activist from the group Bay Area Palestine Solidarity.
Christina Liu: “We must stop arming Israel. There is no business as usual while Gaza is destroyed. Lockheed Martin enables another massacre every day in pursuit of endless military expansion.”
