London pro-Palestine protest target subsidiary of Israeli weapons company Elbit Systems
Pro-Palestinian protesters have gathered outside the office of the real estate consulting company “Fisher German” in London, demanding the closure of the company due to its ties with the Israeli weapons company “Elbit Systems.”
Protesters gathered in the British capital city on Wednesday to mark the International Day of Solidarity with the Palestinian People, calling for an immediate end to arms supplies to Israel amid the regime’s war in the Gaza Strip.
The crowd denounced Fisher German company for leasing properties to Elbit Systems and declared this Israeli company as the perpetrator of “committing genocide” against the people of Gaza. They demanded to “shut down” the company.
They were holding Palestinian flags and chanting pro-Palestinian slogans, such as “Free Palestine” and “From the river to the sea, Palestine will be free.”
Similar protests took place across the UK, in Birmingham, Manchester, and Liverpool as part of a coordinated national action.
In Britain, Fisher German is the landlord for Elbit Systems, Israel’s largest private arms company that supplies the Israeli military with 85 percent of the drones used against Palestinians.
The British government has been criticized for being “complicit in Israeli crimes” due to its relations with this company.
Two of Israel’s biggest weapons factories, Elbit and Rafael, both have operations in the United Kingdom.
