Palestine Action Just Cherry Picked Their Latest Protest
On Saturday 15 March, Palestine Action returned to shut down Elbit Systems’ Bristol headquarters for the 17th time, using a modified cherry picker to damage the operational hub of Israel’s largest arms firm. The last time the group shut down the site was a matter of weeks ago.
To halt operations, stopping the Aztec West site’s contributions to genocide in Palestine, an activist locked-on inside the vehicle of the cherry picker, whilst others from inside the bucket began dismantling the factory. They sprayed red paint across the building and from their high vantage point; swinging a sledgehammer on rope to smash the windows of the weapons site.
