Dozens of arms companies supplying weapons to Israel will be attending the DSEI arms fair. This includes Elbit Systems, which supplies the Israeli military with a range of weaponry essential to carry out its genocide, including armoured drones, bombs and artillery shells. Israeli arms companies, like Elbit Systems and Rafael, develop and test their weapons through Israel’s atrocities against Palestinians, before using events like DSEI to market them to other repressive states as ‘combat-proven’.
This year, despite the ban on Israel’s official delegation, these companies will exhibit at DSEI alongside other arms companies such as BAE Systems, which produces essential components used in Israel’s fighter jets used to bomb Palestinians in Gaza.
Join us as we create a wall of noise as the arms dealers leave the event. Assemble at the Western Gateway, E16 1AU on Weds 10 September at 5pm.
