Has Britain Drafted A Law To Protect Israel’s Weapons Makers?

ust this week, it was confirmed that Israel’s top weapons exporter Elbit Systems is closing down its offices in London.

The decision follows numerous protests against Elbit and Jones Lang LaSalle (JLL), the letting agent for those offices.

It is the second time that Palestine Action, the group organizing the protests, has compelled Elbit to quit a site in Britain – a country identified by the firm as a priority for sales and investment.

Earlier this year, Elbit confirmed it had sold Ferranti, its subsidiary based in Oldham, near Manchester.

Palestine Action’s protests – which often involve smashing up weapons facilities – have angered Israel and its supporters.

One of Israel’s most influential backers in Britain is Priti Patel, the home secretary.

She has effectively declared war on Palestinian solidarity activists by claiming that the boycott, divestment and sanctions movement is racist – without presenting any evidence.
