Unbowed: May Day action shuts down Israel's ‘sponsors of genocide’
Protesters blockade the Department for Business and Trade, the department is responsible for licensing arms export contracts to Israel

PRO-PALESTINE activists, workers and trade unionists took down the “sponsors of Israel’s genocide” on May Day today as they targeted numerous sites across Britain.

International Workers’ Day this year marked the 208th day of Israel’s bombardment of Gaza in which more than 34,000 Palestinians have died in the Strip.

The actions were part of a national wave of “People’s Arms Embargoes” amid failure by government ministers and MPs to stop weapons sales and funding for Israel.
