SUMMARY:Resist DSEI - Stop Arming Israel Demonstration
DESCRIPTION:ASSEMBLE 1PM // 12.09.2021 // FOREST LANE PARK\, E15\n__\nThrou
 gh DSEI\, London will play host to delegations from a range of human right
 s abusing states\, who will look to buy and sell repressive military techn
 ology.\n\nThe Israeli state is a seasoned attendee of the fair. Israel ope
 rates an oppressive regime of military control over the Palestinian people
  in the territory it illegally occupies\, as part of a system of racial di
 scrimination over all Palestinian people. A range of scholars\, legal expe
 rts and human rights organisations\, including Israel’s largest NGO B’
 Tselem\, and Human Rights Watch\, have noted that this system amounts to t
 he crime of apartheid under international law.\n\nPart of this system incl
 udes subjecting Palestinians in besieged Gaza to regular indiscriminate bo
 mbardments\, including during May this year\, in which Israel bombarded th
 e population of Gaza for 11 days\, killing 270 Palestinian civilians.\nExh
 ibitors at DSEI will include companies supplying Israel with weapons and m
 ilitary technology to carry out their attacks. Such as Elbit Systems\, Isr
 ael’s largest weapons company. Elbit’s killer drones are used on the c
 ivilian population of Gaza. During Israel’s 2014 aerial bombardment and 
 ground invasion of Gaza in 2014\, 37% of Palestinian fatalities were kille
 d using drone strikes\, including 497 civilians and 164 children.\n\nA hos
 t of other arms companies supplying Israel will also attend the fair.\n\nW
 e must speak out against the fair! Share the Facebook event and march with
  Palestine Solidarity Campaign and others on the Sunday before DSEI starts
  in solidarity with the Palestinian people.\n\nThe assembly point for the 
 demonstration is Forest Lane Park - you can arrive by public transport usi

 yland Railway Station (13 minutes walk)\nWanstead Park Overground (17 minu
