‘Stop Arming Israel!’ Scottish Pro-Palestinian Activists Occupy Israel-Linked Arms Factory In Glasgo

[Purveyor]

Pro-Palestinian activists in Glasgow have gained access to the factory of a leading multinational defence company with links to an Israeli drone manufacturer.

Thales UK is working with Elbit Systems to make the next generation of Watchkeeper drones, a contract worth £1 billion.

Around 15 activists from the Glasgow Palestine Action Network (GPAN) attended the protest, with around five people climbing on the factory doors, while others blocked the factory doors during the early hours of Tuesday morning.

The roof’s occupiers hung banners from the factory, condemning UK involvement in trading and developing arms with Israel.

“UK Gov. Thales Elbit: Complicit in Genocide” read one banner, while another said “Stop Arming Israel"

5. Britain close to joining U.S.-led air strikes against Islamic State

Prime Minister David Cameron may announce as soon as Wednesday that Britain is ready to join air strikes against Islamic State in Iraq and that he plans to seek parliament's approval for such action, government sources said on Tuesday.

Cameron is due to set out his position in a speech to the U.N. General Assembly in New York on Wednesday night at which he will call on the world to unite to destroy Islamic State (IS)militants, whom he has warned are planning to attack Britain.

The decision to strike in Iraq would be at Baghdad's request.

Cameron has not yet decided whether Britain would take part in strikes against IS targets in Syria because of legal issues, one source familiar with the matter said, and any announcement on Iraq would be to join strikes in principle and not herald immediate action.

6. I hope there's no collateral civilian deaths.

Let's all hope these air strikes are 100% surgical.
