  • United Kingdom - [Note: no sound] Actionists put their bodies in the way and liberty on the line to shut down Israel's biggest weapons firm.

The article from MSN discusses a protest by UK activists targeting Elbit Systems, Israel's largest weapons manufacturer, due to its role in supplying arms used in conflicts, particularly in Gaza. The activists, part of a group called Palestine Action, have engaged in direct action by physically blocking the entrances to Elbit's factories and offices in the UK. Their goal is to disrupt the company's operations, highlighting their opposition to the UK's involvement in what they describe as Israel's "genocide" in Gaza. The protests have led to numerous arrests, with activists risking their liberty to make a statement against the arms trade and the ongoing conflict. The piece also touches on the broader implications of such activism, including debates over freedom of expression, the right to protest, and the ethical considerations of arms manufacturing and export.
