DOWN WITH THE ARMS TRADE! - Demonstration
4.7.2025
15.00 - 16.30
Keskustori, Tampere
Demonstration against arms deals with Israel. The demonstration will gather at the Central Square.
Did you know that in Tampere money is being made by supporting the genocide in Palestine? Let’s put an end to it! Finland’s relationship with Israel has been built in decades of cooperation and trade in weapons manufacturing. The richest family in Finland, Herlin, collects big money in the occupied Palestine, and the whole Finnish imperialism supports Israel and the oppression of the Palestinian people to its own benefit.
The Finnish state and the enterprises behind it are politically and economically, especially through arms trade, partners-in-genocide. Among those partners-in-crime operating in the Tampere area, the biggest are Patria (half-owned by the Finnish state) and Nammo (half-owned by Patria).
The most known recent arms deal with Israel is the surface-to-air missile system “David’s Sling”. The software company Insta Advance Oy which operates in Tampere, is in a key position in its adoption. The purchase of the “David’s Sling” means hundreds of millions of euros funding for the Israeli arms industry, all against the Palestinian people and the neighbouring peoples rising in resistance. Insta Advance Oy is expecting to get its share, a prize for the shedding of the blood of the Palestinian people.
As part of the Palestine solidarity movement, we have condemned the criminal partnership of the Finnish imperialism in the genocide, and more widely the role of imperialism behind Zionism. Still, we should not only condemn all who have Palestinian people’s blood on their hands, because we also need to cause harm for those profiting from the occupation and the genocide. They must be hit where they feel it, seeking for weak points in the cohabitation of imperialism and Zionism. In Tampere we want to expose the role of Insta Advance Oy as a subcontractor and partner-in-crime in the genocide in Palestine supported by Finnish imperialism.
With the pressure of the masses in solidarity with the Palestinian resistance, we can make the arms trade less beneficial. It’s a step in turning the bloody profits into losses, on the road towards the expropriation of the Finnish monopoly capital and thus cutting off its connection to Zionism. Therefore we call all friends of Palestine in Tampere to protest the operation of Insta Advance Oy. Join our demonstration on Friday 4th of July at 15:00. Punish the genocide profiteers!
