Dear friend
ON THURSDAY, OVER A THOUSAND TRADES UNIONISTS UNDER THE BANNER "WORKERS FOR
A FREE PALESTINE", BLOCKED FOUR ARMS COMPANY SITES LINKED TO THE
MANUFACTURE OF THE F35 WAR PLANE, IN:
- Dorset
- Lancashire
- Glasgow
- Brighton
They were joined by CAAT supporters and others in solidarity with
Palestinian people.
THE F35 HAS BEEN USED BY ISRAEL TO BOMB GAZA, and the picketers wanted to
ask workers and fellow trades unionists on these sites to end their
complicity saying,
"GENOCIDE AND WAR CRIMES: NOT IN OUR NAME"
If you would like to join Workers for a Free Palestine on future days of
action, you can find the link to sign up and for the solidarity fund on the
Workers for a Free Palestine website [1].
You can find out more about the UK's arms exports to Israel by downloading
CAAT's latest fact sheet, "Gaza and UK Arms Sales to Israel [2]" which
gives details of what is manufactured where.
If you would like to organise a demonstration yourself, we can help let
other CAAT supporters in your area know about it: just get in touch by
replying to this email.
Thank you for your continued support and resistance to the deadly arms
trade.
