Podcast Ep 43: How activists are shutting down Elbit factories
On episode 43, Nora and Asa speak with Huda Ammori and Richard Barnard, the founders of Palestine Action. Palestine Action was started in the UK last year to take direct action against Israeli arms manufacturer Elbit Systems. Activists have carried out sit-ins and sabotage against Elbit premises, shutting factories down, smashing windows, damaging equipment, graffiting and splashing walls with red paint to symbolize Palestinian blood. Palestine Action has taken more than 70 actions against Elbit in its first year, including 20 high-profile occupations of sites and factories.
