  • Disruption at Port Elizabeth: “The Nonviolent Way to Stop a Genocide Is to Stop the Shipment of Weapons”

    “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. To uphold these laws and prevent unlawful weapons shipments, protestors peacefully came to uphold all U.S. and international laws pertaining to genocide.”

  • * Israel Illegally Attacks Flotilla * Italy: Mass Strike

  • Nuclear Threats 80 Years After Hiroshima and Nagasaki

    “While we have succeeded in preventing the direct use of nuclear bombs since World War II, Daniel Ellsberg and others have highlighted that the U.S. government has used nuclear weapons repeatedly since 1945, like a thief uses a gun.
