Activists standing in solidarity with Palestinians will attempt to shut down an Israeli arms factory in England next month, on the anniversary of Israel’s military operation ‘Protective Edge’, which caused ubiquitous destruction and huge loss of life in the Gaza strip last summer.
The ‘Block the factory’ action will reclaim the area surrounding the UAV Engines Ltd factory in Shenstone, near Birmingham, turning into a creative and positive space that meets the needs of justice and solidarity, and not the needs of Israeli multinational corporations that export death for profit.
In July last year, Israel launched a brutal seven-week assault on the Gaza strip, comprising of an aerial bombardment and land incursion. This attack on a densely populated territory killed over 2200 Palestinians, the vast majority civilians, with over 500 children murdered and thousands more injured. Over 100,000 people have been left homeless.
Similarly devastating massacres have been carried out by Israel in Gaza on two other recent occasions – in 2008-2009 and 2012. UN reports found significant evidence of war crimes in these attacks including the use of white phosphorus- a chemical weapon, and the killing of unarmed civilians carrying white flags.
