Join us on Sunday 5th March 3-5PM at The Warehouse, 54-57 Allison St, Birmingham, B5 5TH

Every day Palestinians are under siege they face constant surveillance, every move is monitored, homes demolished, their families killed in the streets, and their freedom deprived. 232 Palestinians were murdered by their occupier last year alone. The repression of the indigenous population of Palestine is facilitated by Western nations: none less so than Britain.

The zionist colonial forces manufacture their arms out of Britain, and our role is therefore clear and urgent: to take out their weapons factories. Israel’s largest arms company, Elbit Systems, maintains 8 sites across Britain – including arms factories which ship weapons directly to Israel. Elbit's weapons are also sold on to Western nations - arms they market as 'battle-tested' on Palestinians. The people of Palestine, Kashmir, Afghanistan, Iraq and Yemen have all been the targets of Elbit's 'tested' weapons.

Petitions, lobbying, and all appeals to the British establishment to end their century-long complicity in the colonisation of Palestine have failed. But we know, and Elbit knows, that they are vulnerable when people take action. Through direct action, Palestine Action has cost Elbit their arms factory in Oldham, London Headquarters and over £280million in contracts with the Ministry of Defence.

In 2023, we're ramping up this campaign, and we'll need to take along every person who stands in solidarity with Palestinians in their struggle for liberation. Are you with us?

To find out how you can join the campaign to shut Elbit down and lay siege to Israel's arms factory in Leicester, attend our talk on Sunday 5th March 3-5PM at The Warehouse, 54-57 Allison St, Birmingham, B5 5TH. We'll be joined by Rapper and activist, Lowkey, arms trade expert and former ANC politician under Nelson Mandela, Andrew Feinstein, and Palestine Action representatives.
