Witnessing at the entrance to DSEI as arms dealers arrive!

A coalition ‘the big one’ are successfully blockading the main entrance to the Excel, causing arms dealers to have to queue around to a back entrance, planting the seed of the idea that there is another way.

Our pilgrims are passing familiar sights as they draw closer to DSEI arms fair!

Some words from pilgrim Rachel Parkinson surrounding peace, war and nature. Let us all be reminded that:
“War does not just affect human beings. The land too is blitzed, bombed, mined, destroyed. Wildlife is swept up in the conflagration of human hatred”

The pilgrims have spent their rest day at the Catholic Workers Farm:

“A place where people, so much more in need than ourselves, can have a chance to mend, surrounded by beauty, with caring, dedicated hosts.

We are all part of a whole. We are unity. We are community.“

The pilgrims are grateful for the hospitality of the Wesley Methodist Church, High Wycombe as they set off on their third day! ☮️

Our pilgrims are preparing to embark on their journey to the DSEI arms fair, in witness against a system that profits off destruction and cruelty.

Gets deep into the underlying narratives motivating mainstream Israeli (and Jewish-American) society.

Unbelievably Telford hosts an annual arms fair, selling death and destruction to anyone who wants. Not what our world full of conflicts needs. But happily plenty there to resist it. #stopsdsc #stoparmingisrael

In court, the government admitted UK-made F-35 parts risk being used in violations of international law & Israel isn’t committed to complying to international law.

Yet the government has continued arms exports, breaching legal obligations & exposing itself to criminal liability.
