Statement from Heba Muraisi

I knew that in order to win this fight, we had to engage the enemy’s main force, and here in the UK, that would be Elbit. It wasn’t a recruitment, but rather a conscious incorporation from my part: I became Palestine Action.

And now, from behind these steel walls and sensors, I will continue the fight and to resist. This is for the mothers who can’t bury their children, for the fathers who had to bury all of theirs. For the children who have no family left and too young to understand why. And for my family – who I don’t even know if they’ve made it out of Rafah.

I will not compromise until all demands are met. Long live the intifada.

Statement from Jony Cink

My whiteness and class status protect me from the worst of the British prison system. I often think of Palestinian prisoners in zionist torture dungeons, of my comrades punished for their faith, with imprints of fascist tendencies, that mature in British prisons, on their skin. We stand united by our desire for freedom. Shared, collective freedom, One that can only be achieved through relentless struggle. One that demands nothing short of justice.

It is with these principles in mind that I join a collective, open-ended hunger strike demanding cessation of all operations by Elbit Systems UK; immediate unconditional bail for all Prisoners for Palestine imprisoned before trial; right to a fair trial which can’t be conducted without the disclosure of all foreign and political interference in our cases; complete end to the use of terrorism legislation against those acting to stop a genocide; and an immediate end to censorship of all communication to and from prisons.

Third prisoner joins Prisoners for Palestine hunger-strike

On Sunday 2nd November, Balfour Day, 20-year old Qesser Zuhrah and 30-year old Amu Gibb launched the Prisoners for Palestine rolling hunger strike by refusing food at Bronzefield prison. They have now been joined by Heba Muraisi, who is being held on remand at New Hall prison.

Heba, originally from Yemen, with family in Gaza, refused food, at breakfast time today, Monday 3rd November, becoming the third prisoner to join the national Prisoners for Palestine open-ended hunger-strike, alongside Qesser Zuhrah and Amu Gibb.

Heba Muraisi has been imprisoned without trial since being remanded into custody on 19th November 2024. She became one of the Filton 24, after being violently arrested in a dramatic dawn raid, by counter-terrorism police, in what was the third wave of arrests in relation to a Palestine Action raid on Israeli arms maker, Elbit Systems‘ Research and Development Hub at Filton, Bristol, in August 2024.

Palestine Action ‘shut down’ Elbit Systems HQ and subcontractor

Palestine Action said its activists occupied the rooftop of an Elbit Systems subcontractor as well as blockading the entrance to the arms manufacturer’s UK headquarters in Bristol.

The direct-action group said the occupation “successfully halted operations at Guardtech”, a subcontractor which it said “provides essential clean room services” to Instro Precision, a subsidiary of Elbit Systems, Israel’s largest arms manufacturer.

The group published footage on X of its activists blockading the only entrance to the company’s Bristol headquarters.

“Just a reminder we, Palestine Action, we are not the terrorists,” an activist said in the video.

„Elbit are the real terrorists”.

Deutsche Rüstungsexporte nach Israel und die Region

Auch Technologien von Rheinmetall, beispielsweise Panzerkanonen, sind in Israel präsent. Die Munition in den in Gaza eingesetzten 155-mm-Panzerhaubitzen werden von General Dynamics in den USA und Rheinmetall hergestellt.[8] Das Unternehmen ist außerdem an der Entwicklung von ferngesteuerter Präzisionsmunition gemeinsam mit dem israelischen Munitionsproduzenten UVision sowie an der Entwicklung und Herstellung von Radhaubitzen gemeinsam mit Israels größten privaten Waffenhersteller, Elbit Systems, beteiligt.[9]

Seit Jahren liefert das Augsburger Unternehmen Renk Schalt-, Wende- und Lenkgetriebe für die aktuelle Version des israelischen Merkava-Kampfpanzers (Mk IV).[10] Das Unternehmen MTU mit Sitz in Friedrichshafen stellt Motoren für israelische Kriegsschiffe und Panzer her, u.a. für den oben genannten Merkava-Panzer Mk IV. Auch der Rüstungs- und Sensorikhersteller Hensoldt mit Hauptsitz in Bayern ist ein wichtiger Liefer- und Handelspartner des israelischen Militärs. Laut einem Bericht der Süddeutschen Zeitung gibt es verschiedene Kooperationen zwischen Hensoldt und der Israel Aerospace Industries sowie dem israelischen Staatsunternehmen Rafael Advanced Defense Systems.

Israel revolutionized Azerbaijan’s drone arsenal. Are the weapons working?

(21.07.2020)

The Orbiter 1K is what is known as a “loitering munition,” or kamikaze drone. The drone behaves like a drone, hovering around, until it finds a target and then slams into it like a cruise missile. In February 2019, Aeronautics reportedly completed new sales to Azerbaijan. The country has a hunger for Israeli kamikaze-style drones. The Washington Post reported in 2016 that it used an IAI (Israel Aerospace Industries) Harop against Armenians as well. Armenia has complained about the 2016 incident.

Will defense ties increase between Israel and the Ukraine?

Israel has been selling military equipment to Ukraine for over two decades, and with the election of Jewish comedian and novice politician Volodymyr Zelensky, there is a good chance to increase defense ties between the two countries.
