[News] Logistics giant drops Israeli weapons maker Elbit Systems

[Anti-Imperialist News]

*LOGISTICS GIANT DROPS ELBIT*

In an email to Palestine Action, logistics giant Kuehne+Nagel declared 
they've ended all ties with Israel's largest weapons firm, Elbit 
Systems, and will not be working with them again.
This victory comes after an extensive direct action campaign, which 
first involved activists from Palestine Action breaking into the K+N's 
Leicester offices, smashing windows and spray painting the inside on May 
12th 2023.

Then, in a double action, actionists struck the company's Milton Keynes 
branch and their cargo insurance firm in London. This involved the 
smashing of their branches' windows, buildings covered in blood-red 
paint, and messages left calling for the transportation firm to "cut 
ties with Elbit".

With the logistics company being one of only six companies licensed for 
the secure collection, delivery and disposal of firearms and weapons in 
Britain, this move will significantly reduce the options available for 
the transportation of Elbit's weaponry.

This victory comes after the sole recruiters, iO associates, the 
property managers of Elbit's Shenstone factory, Fisher German, and the 
website hosts for Elbit's Leicester factory also dropped all ties with 
the Israeli weapons maker.

This pattern - of companies rushing to end their links with Elbit 
Systems after a targeted campaign by Palestine Action - further 
validates the strategy of striking all those associated with the Israeli 
weapons maker.
