Israeli arms producer Elbit Systems closed its site in Bristol, UK, after years of protests by Palestine Action, The Guardian reported on 6 September. The facility at the Aztec West business park appeared deserted when the daily visited this week, with only a security guard present outside. Elbit Systems UK, a subsidiary of Israel’s largest arms manufacturer, has leased the site since 2019 under a contract running until 2029. The company did not comment on the status of the facility. The site had been the focus of repeated protests, including one on 1 July, just days before the UK government banned Palestine Action under the 2000 Terrorism Act.

      Maybe. Manufacturing facilities have a lot of very large, heavy, expensive machines. Getting them in or out often means removing entire sections of wall, if the whole building wasn’t built around them.

    Probably just started another without attention on them. Labour is such a shit show, fascist nhilists they believe in nothing.

    Any symbolic moves are to placate those with consciouses, giving them another 6 weeks to wrap up the starvation phase of their final solution for gaza or they will do something thay changes nothing, while making protesting de facto illegal and locking down the internet connecting all ip’s to faces and id’s in a database political leadership could access without warrant or nat sec assent.
