Sheffield Palestine Action Workshop:
Operating with the full complicity of the UK and other Western powers, the Israeli arms trade is near the centre of an expansive system in which technologies are developed to repress populations.
The drones that are used to drop bombs and white phosphorous on Palestinians are then exported for use elsewhere.
These manufacturers particularly Elbit Systems, despite frequently violating international law, continue to operate with the full support of our governments.
Palestine Action activists as they explain how the Israeli arms trade operates, how we are engaging in direct action – and how you can involve yourself in our struggle to uproot this system of repression.
