Info about recent solidarity actions in Bristol.

In the early hours of Saturday 24th November, a G4S car parked in a residential street in Bristol was covered in paintstripper, had its windows etched and tyres slashed.
The same night a Marks and Spencers store in Bristol was attacked and had all its windows smashed.
"Hands off Gaza" and "pricetag" were sprayed at the scene.

These actions were taken in solidarity with the Palestinian people who have suffered occupation and oppression by the proponents and supporters of Zionism for nearly 65 years.
These actions were also taken to send a message to all those multinational companies that support Israel, whether for purely profit driven motives or more ideological reasons. By aligning themselves with the oppressor, such companies as M&S and G4S are making themselves targets. Action will be taken against them!

Don't wait until the next major attack on Palestinians, act now!
The oppression of Palestinians is constant and ongoing. Prior to the recent attack on Gaza, Israel killed 65 Palestinians in Gaza alone during 2012. The day after the 'ceasefire' Israel killed a Palestinian farmer in Gaza.

NOTES

1. For detailed research on the complicity of (especially British) multinationals see:
 http://www.corporatewatch.org/?lid=4103
amongst other sources.

2. Extremist Israeli settlers take what they call 'pricetag' actions whenever a particularly illegal outpost or settlement is evicted. They attack Palestinians or their houses, mosques, vehicles etc. Causing sometimes extensive damage and spraying graffiti to make their motivations clear.
For example see:  http://original.antiwar.com/cook/2010/08/02/israeli-settlers-step-up-price-tag-policy/

This principle has been taken and applied instead to those who support Zionism.
