Brussels Airport staff boycott Tel Aviv flights in protest over Gaza war

Trade unions at Brussels Airport have called on their members not to handle flights to Tel Aviv. The move is in protest against Israel’s war on Gaza and the deteriorating humanitarian conditions there.

It comes amid growing dissent and disgust across Europe over the lack of urgent action to end the war.



Pro-Palestine activists in UK protest at BAE Systems aerospace factory

Footage verified by Al Jazeera shows pro-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.
