441365-thumb

On Friday, 6th November, pro-Palestinian activists carried out a blockade at Carmel Agrexco's depot in Hayes, Middlesex. The activists locked themselves to oil drums filled with concrete and positioned themselves to block the two access roads to the depot.

At about 6 o'clock this morning a group of London students and international activists, including members of the International Solidarity Movement (ISM), blocked the two gates leading to the depot. The activists seek to raise awareness of the UK's continued role in the purchase of goods produced in Israel's illegal settlements in the West Bank as well as Carmel Agrexco's role in the sustenance of Israel's illegal expansionist activities in Palestine.

A "poster has been distributed to homes across Hackney, and appears to advertise "The Knife Show, an exhibition of the latest knife and personal defence technology [which] promises to be a must for anyone who is concerned for their safety." It clearly targets youngsters, displaying a photo of a "stab-proof uniform" flanked by two knives. The leaflet advertises the "show" as being at a "prime London exhibition space" from September 8 to 11, the same dates as the Defence Systems and Equipment International (DSEi) exhibition - the largest defence and security exhibition in the world - at ExCeL in Docklands."
