Stop Arming Israel Week of Action 1st – 7th July 2017
Arms companies around the world are profiting from Israel’s brutal occupation of Palestine. Along with the banks that invest in them, these companies are on our doorsteps. We can take action to stop them; join us for a week of action from 1st to 7th July 2017, on the third anniversary of Israel’s 2014 attacks on the Gaza Strip.
Palestinian civil society has called for a comprehensive military embargo on Israel. Now is the time to heed the call for effective solidarity.
