In Britain, police arrested two people Wednesday as they held a protest on the roof of a factory that supplies hardware to Israel’s biggest weapons producer, Elbit Systems. The activists reportedly sabotaged parts inside the GRiD Defence Systems factory before climbing to the rooftop and unfurling a banner reading “GRiD and Elbit — Blood on Your Hands.”
Palestine Action activist 1: “We are just regular people who oppose genocide, who oppose companies on U.K. land selling weapons that are used to kill children. In the past month alone, we have seen babies with no heads, children’s bodies blown apart.”
Palestine Action activist 2: “Bodies, dead weight, literally flying from the sky from how powerful these bombs are that are obliterating entire neighborhoods. We cannot stand back and just do nothing.”
