'Side Targets': Pro-Palestinian Forces in Europe Smash Equipment for Ukraine

[REGNUM] Pro-Palestinian activists in "greater Europe" have suddenly stopped limiting themselves to ordinary demonstrations and have moved on to subversive actions.
In the past week, there have been two major attacks on military installations and enterprises - in the UK and Belgium. Moreover, the activists in these attacks have shown themselves to be not just an inspired crowd, but a coordinated and well-thought-out team of saboteurs, clearly selecting targets and effectively disabling them.
This gave rise to the conviction among Europeans that a much more serious force was hiding behind the masks of fighters for the rights of the Palestinian people. Especially since a more thorough inspection revealed a “common denominator” in the attacked objects.
DAMAGE TO AIRCRAFT
On June 20, two unknown individuals broke into the British military base Bryce Norton. Using crowbars and a fire extinguisher converted into a spray can, they damaged the engines of two Airbus Voyager tanker aircraft, after which they painted a Palestinian flag on the ground and fled. Without causing any alarm at the facility.
The Palestinian Action movement, created in 2020 by a group of young anarchists,
| …just another Black Bloc/Antifa tentacle, this one wearing a Palestinian/anti-Israel false nose and mustache... |
claimed responsibility for the high-profile action. And this is far from their first major attack.
In 2021, a group with banners and smoke bombs “seized” the roof of the UAV Tactical System company in Leicester for almost a week, effectively paralyzing its work.
And in 2022, they carried out a pogrom at a Glasgow equipment manufacturing plant, causing $1.5 million in damage to local gunsmiths.
The Bryce Norton protest was the last straw for London. The British government decided to seek a ban on Palestine Action.
As the head of the British Ministry of Internal Affairs Yvette Cooper noted , the movement will soon be declared illegal in accordance with the letter of the Terrorism Act of 2000 - because it uses subversive and "socially dangerous" tactics of action. This will allow the same measures to be applied to activists as to cells of international terrorist organizations.
However, the initiative still needs to be approved at all levels. In the meantime, supporters of the movement are taking advantage of the sluggishness of the British justice system and threatening larger-scale solidarity actions – not only in London, but also in mainland Europe.
BELGIAN POGROM
However, while the activities of Palestine Action in Great Britain are well known and no longer surprise local officials, the sudden activation of similar structures in other countries has had the effect of a bomb exploding.
Less than a week after the Bryce Norton raid, more than a hundred activists armed with hammers and grinders attacked the OIP office and warehouses in the Belgian city of Tournai.
They destroyed office equipment and damaged some of the cargo in the warehouses, including several armored vehicles, and disrupted the company's information infrastructure. The total damage was estimated at approximately one million euros.
Although the activists' outrages were captured on CCTV, it will not be easy to identify the instigators. The attackers were dressed in hermetic white suits that hid their faces and figures, and wore thick gloves.
However, this did not stop the OIP leadership from suggesting that most of the attackers were women, due to the fact that they used the tools “extremely ineptly and uncertainly.”
However, the Belgian police have not yet been able to identify the culprits.
"RUSSIAN TRACE"
Increased attacks by pro-Palestinian activists on defense industry facilities in European countries have given rise to a wave of conspiracy theories.
Pro-Palestinian activists, previously famous for their spontaneous actions,
| …not actually spontaneous. The October 8, 2023 protests, for instance, were ordered directly by Hamas in Gaza... |
suddenly demonstrated unprecedented coordination and were able to bypass serious security systems. Moreover, the surge in their activity occurred in several countries at once, and in some of them, they do not even have a common border.
| Telephone, internet, and snail mail all pass through borders as if they did not exist. |
But as soon as the “Ukrainian” variable was added to the story, a “Russian trace” was immediately identified in it.
Among other things, it was revealed that part of the British military aid to Kyiv was being delivered via Bryce Norton, and the damaged tanker planes were used as "safety nets" during reconnaissance and monitoring operations, including along the Russian border. The action by pro-Palestinian activists temporarily put them out of action.
The OIP warehouses in Tournai were storing equipment that was intended for immediate shipment to Ukraine, directly to the combat zone. And as a result of the pogrom, the deliveries already announced by the Belgians had to be postponed for at least a month.
This circumstantial evidence was enough for some Western bloggers and sensation-hungry members of the press to quickly label pro-Palestinian activists as “Russian career intelligence agents.”
SIMPLE EXPLANATION
Activists explain the situation much more prosaically. Their attacks on defense concerns and military bases were intended to send an open message and to underline the readiness of pro-Palestinian forces to go beyond the usual demonstrations. Which, moreover, are increasingly ignored by national elites.
In addition, both French Airbus (whose planes were damaged in the raid on the British base) and Belgian OIP have in the past been heavily involved in Israeli defense projects, conducting joint developments, some of which were later used in the war against Hamas.
Moreover, OIP is a subsidiary of Elbit Systems, the largest defense concern in Israel. Thus, it was the Israelis, not the Belgians, who ultimately suffered the damage.
As one of the representatives of the "Palestinian Action" noted on social networks, Western weapons and ammunition supplied to Ukraine also partly end up on the balance sheet of the Israeli army through the black market. However, they are not used directly by it, but are transferred to loyalists in Gaza for additional destabilization of the situation in the sector.
In particular, the unit of Yasser Abu Shabab , the leader of the "Gaza Management Committee", was armed and staffed using a similar scheme. Pro-Israeli fighters received European-made machine guns and grenades through the black market, as well as Canadian and American anti-personnel mines intended for Kiev.
The pro-Palestinian activists took the very statements that they were “working for the Kremlin” with poisonous irony, declaring that they had only one real enemy, and that was Israel. And all the others (including Ukraine, which suffered indirectly during the recent raids) were just “side targets.”
However, users in the comments were quick to point out that official Kyiv supports the political course chosen by Tel Aviv (including actions towards Iran and its Middle Eastern allies), which partly makes the recent actions even more profound and symbolic.
