Anti-Israel activists splash paint across office building in Jewish neighborhood in Manchester
Add ToI as a Preferred Source on GoogleRed paint was splashed across an office block in a Manchester neighborhood, home to a large Jewish community, with the words “Happy Nakba Day” painted on the building yesterday morning, the Manchester Evening News reports.
The anti-Israel Palestine Action protest group claims that the landlords of the office building, Rico House, are from the Israeli arms company Elbit Systems.
Greater Manchester Police are investigating the incident, the Manchester Evening News says.
After a targeted campaign, Somerset Council "relinquished" their ties to Israel's biggest weapons firm by selling off Elbit's Bristol HQ.
