Palestine Action protest council's failure to evict an Israeli arms manufacturer

PALESTINE supporters left a council headquarters with smashed windows and covered in red paint in protest at its failure to evict an Israeli arms manufacturer.

Volunteers from Palestine Action mounted the attack on Somerset Council’s County Hall building in Taunton on Monday.

Palestine Action said the council rents premises in Bristol to Elbit Systems, Israel’s biggest arms manufacturer, and had failed to implement a council vote to evict the company.
