Just got off the phone with one of the @Pal_action activists holding a sit-in on the roof of the Shenstone factory owned by Israeli drone maker @ElbitSystemsLtd.
This small group has managed to shutter this death-factory for three days running now! Direct action works.

.@ElbitSystemsLtd market their weapons as “field-tested” on Palestinian civilians in Gaza
The activists are demanding "all Elbit Systems sites to be shut down in the UK, and an end to UK complicity with Israeli apartheid".

The activist told me that police have been illegally barring protesters gathering outside to express support for the sit-in.
Police have even harassed passers-by who beeped car horns in support! Pulling them over and "pushing and threatening cyclists".

The @Pal_action activists have been up there for three days running and are presumably running low on food and water. Police are baring access to food and water.
Support @Pal_action if you can!
