Port Elizabeth Protest on Arm Shipments to Israel

On Friday Oct. 3, shortly before dawn, 100 protestors disrupted Maersk’s and ZIM’s operations at the port of Elizabeth, New Jersey. This site exports weapons used by Israel to kill Palestinians in Gaza, shipped by Maersk and ZIM. In addition, it is one of the largest weapons exporters on the East coast. Supplying these weapons for Israel’s genocide is a blatant violation of the U.S. War Crimes Act, the Leahy law, The Foreign Assistance Act, Arms Export Control Act, and The Genocide Convention Implementation Act. John Amidon of Veterans for Peace and Pax Christi talks about the event.
