Protest Israeli War Criminals @ IODSC – No Profits for Genocide!

As part of this conference, Israeli weapons company Rafael systems will be doing a presentation about their “precision strike technology”. This presentation is specifically pitched as drawing on “Rafael’s recent contributions to facing challenges defending Israel’s population in light of the attacks the country had to face”. So – it is directly about the contribution Rafael has played in helping Israel slaughter over 37,000 Palestinians.

Students for Palestine WA will be protesting this specific event to voice our opposition to Rafael Systems being promoted and selling their weapons to more imperialist powers at this conference. This will be occurring at 12pm Thursday 25th July.

Curtin University is a major sponsor at this conference so students have to voice our active opposition to a conference promoting death and destruction.

Be there as part of the rolling protests happening against IODS starting from July 24th, 7am.

Rafael’s active role in the Gaza genocide:
“The new “Nizoz” (Spark) surveillance drone manufactured by Rafael, a state-owned weapons contractor that forms the Big Three of Israel’s arms industry with IAI and Elbit, has reportedly now entered the current Gaza war. Rafael has an order backlog which currently stands at $10.1bn. Al Jazeera approached Elbit Systems, Rafael Advanced Defense Systems and IAI for comment but the firms were yet to respond before time of publication.”
