    Whilst the people of Gaza have been slaughtered in their homes, schools and mosques world leaders have stood by and done nothing. Israel is committing war crimes. We can choose to stand by and do nothing or take action to stop this massacre. All over the world people are out on the street protesting. In Greece the ports refused to handle US arms shipments to Israel. Israeli companies are reporting that orders for their goods are being cancelled as international civil society takes action to boycott the brutal apartheid regime in Israel. We can all do something to support the people of Gaza. Well done to the 'decommissioners' for the contribution they have made.
    I agree with everything you say - apart from the last sentence. How is it EDO's fault what the Israelis are doing in Gaza?
    If you take your argument to its logical conclusion, you should be attacking all the factories that make anything to do with weapons and bombs - down to the nuts and bolts, but I don't see anyone doing that.
    Indeed it could be argued that the guidance systems that EDO manufacture parts for actually decrease civilian casualties because they allow the bombs to target more accurately.
    Attack the REAL enemy, not the easy targets."

Break-in at controversial factory

An arms factory was broken into overnight.

Police said the trespassers caused "extensive damage" at EDO MBM Technology in Moulsecoomb.

They were called at 1.50am today.

A spokesman for Sussex Police said: "A number of arrests have been made and inquiries are continuing."

The factory has been the focus of regular demonstrations since 2004 by the Smash EDO group, which aims to close the factory down.

The campaigners claim the firm makes components used by Israel in its conflict in Gaza.

Two protests last year ended in violent confrontations with the police.

Police are asking anyone who saw anything suspicious at the factory in Home Farm Road, Moulsecoomb, this morning is asked to call Sussex Police quoting Operation Potato on 0845 6070999 or Crimestoppers anonymously on 0800 555111.
