„The move ahead of the Milipol expo next week breaks with the policy set by Paris last year to ban companies involved in the war in Gaza.“
Our Westminster maladministration were never going to listen to to experts or the public. In this case vested interests, ‘Friends of Israel’ go in first. Expect other proscriptions on the benefit of fossil fuel companies, the arms industry and AI companies.

Africa: African Govts Complicit in Russian Recruitment of Young Women Into Its Arms Industry: [Premium Times] In the past six months, a team from ZAM and NAIRE, in seven African countries, including PREMIUM TIMES in Nigeria, investigated the Russian recruitment exercise--asking why so many young Africans take the chance to go, sometimes even after being warned. http://newsfeed.facilit8.network/TMyp3C #Africa #RussianRecruitment #YoungWomen #ArmsIndustry #ComplicitGovernments
Excellent work by Naomi O'Leary of the Irish Times showing the millions of euros in grants to Israel's war machine, some of which are Horizon grants not meant to be for military purposes.

…which envisages relocating the production of gearboxes for Israeli tanks to the USA. From a German perspective, the company has "the responsibility to ensure that Israel can maintain its deterrent capability", Sagel is quoted as saying by the FT. "This is necessary not only in Gaza, but also on other borders." Sagel did not specify how many transmissions were involved for Israel.“

Stop Israeli weapons from entering the port
Stadhuis Rotterdam, donderdag 26 juni om 18:30 CEST

🚨 STOP ‘ISRAELI’ WEAPONS FROM ENTERING THE PORT OF ROTTERDAM
Mayor Carola Schouten is ignoring the voices of thousands of Rotterdammers who have been demonstrating for weeks against the arrival of the Maersk ship ‘Izmir’. So, organisations from outside Rotterdam are joining forces to increase the pressure!
We demand that the Mayor don't let the Izmir dock in Rotterdam on Friday, June 27. In this ship are wings for the F-35 fighter jet that ‘Israel’ uses to bomb hospitals, schools, tents and other civilian targets in Gaza, Lebanon, Yemen, Syria and Iran. We will not let our city's port be misused as a link in the genocide of Palestinians. Therefore, come to the EMERGENCY-DEMONSTRATION on Thursday (June 26) 18:30 at the CITY HALL in ROTTERDAM! Also make sure to bring friends, family and colleagues! Together we will put an end to our city's complicity in genocide.
ROTTERDAM IS SAYING NO TO GENOCIDE!

Noise demo @ Maersk HQ

‼️ LOCATION CHANGE: BLAAK, ROTTERDAM 🥁‼️
📣 Noise Demo against Maersk
🗓️ 24 June
⏱️ 13:00
📍 Maarten Toonder Statue, Blaak, Rotterdam
🥁 bring pots & pans!
Maersk is feeling the pressure! After our protest was announced, the Izmir went off the radar for hours, then its arrival in Rotterdam got delayed until the 27th of June.
📛 We will still be protesting on the 24th! This gives mayor Carola Schouten two additional days to honor our demand: deny all ships carrying Israeli weapons entry to the port of Rotterdam. Stop the Izmir!

„The exports show how Israel is pursuing new markets as its forces battle on multiple fronts.
Israel sold more weapons to other countries in 2024 than ever, government officials said on Wednesday, even as it fought on multiple fronts in the longest war in its history.
Israeli producers signed contracts to export about $14.8 billion in weapons last year (…).“
