TUCSON, Ariz. — Pro-Palestinian protesters blocked an entrance to a Raytheon plant on Tucson’s Southside Thursday morning.The protest lasted for an hour and a half and no arrests were made.
“We believe that Palestinians deserve to be free and are in solidarity with the struggle of Palestinians," Alex, the group's spokesperson said. She says Raytheon profits from defense systems sold to Israel, which is why they blocked oen of the entrances to one of the plant. “We wanted to show you just can’t come in and out of work without some accountability. Raytheon has to know the people of Tucson are not okay with genocide," she said.Overone-thousand Israelis were reported dead after the October 7 attack.
Since then, thePalestinian Health Ministry has claimed over nine thousand people have died in Gaza as Israel retaliates.“We are not here to make moral indictments on how the people of Palestine choose to defend themselves after 70 years of occupation," Alex said.Another demonstration is scheduled for this Saturday at Catalina Park in Tucson, according to the group's Facebook page.Adam Klepp is a reporter for KGUN 9.
