Palestine Action activists target Parker Hannifin offices

PALESTINE activists have struck another blow to the Scottish supply chain feeding the genocide in Gaza, targeting the Glasgow offices of military parts manufacturer Parker Hannifin.

Palestine Action Scotland (PAS) has held a number of actions at arms giant Leonardo’s site in Edinburgh, calling on the company to stop supplying parts for the F-35 jets used by Israeli military in its onslaught on Gaza.

But now PAS have turned to one of Leonardo’s suppliers in their efforts to halt the Israeli war machine.

At Parker Hannifin’s site in Hillington, on the outskirts of the city — described by the company as “state of the art” — activists daubed signage and walls, interior and exterior, with red paint “symbolic of the Palestinian blood on the hands of the company.”

The direct action group warned that the company would “remain a target until it cuts its ties to complicit companies.”

A PAS spokesperson said: ”We are sickened that the continuing genocide is made possible by companies based in Scotland that are happy to profit by designing, making and selling products that result in the mass murder of Palestinian people in Gaza.

“Every company that chooses to be part of the supply chain to Israel’s military, including Parker Hannifin, shares responsibility for and profits from the shredding of children’s bodies in Gaza and we will not rest until they cut all their connections to that chain of brutality.

“In taking this action, we have been inspired by and acted in solidarity with our friends and comrades in Gaza and throughout all of Palestine, from river to sea.

“We look forward to celebrating the liberation of Palestine with you in the near future.”

Parker Hannifin was contacted for comment.
