Five jailed for taking direct action against Israel’s war crimes in Gaza
Five Palestine Action activists have been jailed for at least a year each for taking direct action against Israel’s war crimes.
The activists had occupied a weapons factory in Glasgow belonging to French arms firm Thales.
The company has a contract with Elbit Systems, which produces 85 per cent of drones used by the Israel Defence Forces.

Israel and weapons capitalism... wombo combo, fuck the plebs.
Not sure these new Enid Blyton books capture the spirit of the originals.
Being more honest. 5 jailed for breaking in and occupieing a Glasgow weapons factory.
That shit gets you jail time no matter your cause.
When you take action like that you expect jail. And jail is part of your protest. Just like any illegal act done for a cause.
It's literally a breach of the law to be supplying weapons to a country engaging in human rights violations, war crimes and a possible genocide. That's why Lammy has buried the legal opinion which the Tories also sat on.
The government is the law breaker. The people going to prison are the ones upholding international law.
oh look I'm never going to Glasgow either.
These fascists are really saving me some money.
Huh?
Why are you righting one of the most ardently left-wing places in the country off exactly?
Just to clarify, which fascists?
