Protesters chanted 鈥淕enocide starts with weapons parts鈥, outside Nupress on December 4. The company makes parts for F35s, the fighter jets Israel is using in its genocide in Gaza.
Spokesperson Regan Dubois said: 鈥淲e have spent a year watching things we never thought could happen.
鈥淭he other day I saw an exhausted Palestinian rescue worker explaining that the dozens of children flattened in an apartment block wouldn鈥檛 count among the official death toll because their bodies could never be retrieved.
鈥淗aving a factory here supplying the planes that cause that destruction is really concerning.
鈥淥ur message to Nupress is clear: We鈥檒l stop protesting and picketing when you stop making parts for weapons.鈥
He added that Nupress could do 鈥減lenty of positive things鈥 in the areas of medical technology, green energy and infrastructure. That would mean it would not be breaching international human rights law, and workers would not have their involvement in the weapons industry 鈥渨eighing on their conscience鈥.
The group plans to keep picketing Nupress until it stops making parts for F35s.
