Palestine Action Crash Black-Tie Arms Dinner

While weapons industry representatives, government figures and other arms-trade stakeholders convened in London for the TechUK’s ‘Defence Winter Dinner’, Palestine Action snuck themselves on to the guest list.

Six activists crashed the state of the prestigious venue to disrupt the event and expose the guests facilitation of death and destruction in Palestine and elsewhere. Once inside London’s five-star Landmark Hotel Grand Ballroom, activists took to the stage, raised the Palestine flag, set off smoke flares and stated:

“While you sip champagne, people in Palestine and Kashmir mourn the blood spilt from the weapons that you help to make. All of you here today, are literally making a killing-out-of-killing and we will not stop until you stop.” #ShutElbitDown
