A Staffordshire arms factory making engines for drones exported to Israel will be shut down by protesters on Monday 6 July, to mark the one year anniversary of Israel’s 2014 attack on Gaza. According to the UN, during its attack on Gaza last summer, Israel killed over 2,200 Palestinians including more than 500 children. Tory minister Baroness Warsi quit her post in the cabinet, calling UK government inaction over the Israeli attack on Gaza “morally indefensible”. Over 30 UK organisations and nine international organisations have endorsed the ‘Block the Factory’ solidarity action on 6 July. A 22 June 2015 UN report documented evidence of numerous suspected war crimes committed by Israel against Palestinians in Gaza in 2014.
