Palestinian protesters blocking the entrance to the BAE Systems factory in Samlesbury, which they say produces components for F-35 fighter jets used by Israel in Gaza.
The demonstrators were holding banners reading “Stop arming Israel, sanctions now” and “Break the siege”.
“Every single time we shut down these death factories, even if it’s just for a couple of hours, we are causing them huge monetary [losses],” reads a caption on the post. “There will be no business as usual for those who profit off Palestinian suffering and arm the genocidal Israeli regime.”
According to the charity Oxfam the UK provides about 15 percent of the components used in Israel’s F-35 fighter jets, supplying parts produced by BAE Systems and other companies.
