Message from pro-Palestine actionists on the one year anniversary of Israel’s brutal genocide in Gaza. Over the last 365 days, Congressman Adriano Espaillat has been loud and proud about his support for Israel’s slaughter of an estimated 200,000 Palestinians.
Last night, a group of uptown Jewish constituents painted his office red to symbolize the blood of those murdered by Israel in its ongoing genocide against Palestine, and now Lebanon. While Espaillat is bought and paid for by the Zionist lobby, our action speaks louder than their blood money.
The paint will wash off your office, Congressman, but the blood of thousands of martyrs will forever stain your legacy. Anti-Zionist Jews say free Palestine, end the occupation, and stop arming Israel!
“During BournemoutH Air Festival, actionists sent the message that incursions of military equipment and the glorification of the arms industry into spaces of nature will not be tolerated, by splashing a battle tank, a display helicopter, and army recruitment boards with red paint. This action was taken in solidarity with Palestine and all other peoples and land under occupation, and those under the long shadow of British colonialism, with the hope of disrupting the normalisation of the UK’s continuous involvement in war and genocide, and that others will also act against all targets of oppression and domination wherever they see them. It’s true that at first it felt like an intimidating task to go unnoticed in a makeshift military village with military personnel, police and stewards patrolling to protect the equipment, but with the sound of the waves and the darkness of the beach acting as our accomplices, we were able to leave our mark and disappear again. There was no media coverage of our action which we assume to be because of the deep and burning embarrassment caused to the armed forces, security, police and the council who paid for this debacle and trying to keep it secure.
Our message to everyone reading this is that any expression of domination can be a target, and that we are not unique or better equipped to cause trouble to our oppressors than you are. Don’t be inhibited by the idea that something should be impossible – go and see for yourself if you can make it possible. Take every precaution you can, stay ready to change your plans, and know that those who want to stand in your way are not infallible in the way propaganda would have you believe. In testing the boundaries, we so often find how unprepared oppressive forces are for any form of resistance because they expect us to remain passive, and we can start to free our own minds from these artificial cages and empower ourselves and others to act in ways that pursue life with more freedom.”
To mark one year of genocide against the Palestinian people, an autonomous group visited the homes of two University of Michigan leaders, President Santa Ono and Chief Investment Officer Erik Lundberg. They also decorated the offices of the Jewish Federation of Detroit and the Michigan Israel Business Accelerator, organizations that are deeply entrenched in the apartheid state. From businesses to universities, we reject all financial support for the Israeli regime.
Early Monday morning October 14 before the start of the work week the offices of local weapons manufacturers Ghost Robotics was targeted with a message for Ghost Robotics and their backer the University of Pennsylvania: Ghost Robotics and Penn, THERE’S BLOOD ON YOUR HANDS!
The UPenn run campus known as Pennovation in the Grays Ferry neighborhood where Ghost Robotics has its offices was coated with a mix of red paint, broken glass, nails, and messages from Philadelphians to Ghost Robotics and their landlord and backer UPenn: no business as usual for evil fucks who make murder tech!
Ghost Robotics AI-enabled machine-gun-armed robot dogs have been used against Palestinians in Gaza and have been sold to the Department of Homeland Security for use in the US borderlands. Philadelphians won’t stand for the manufacture of killing machines in our backyard with our stolen tax dollars. Across the city people are taking action against Ghost Robotics, demanding an end to the manufacture and distribution of weapons of apartheid. We want Ghost Robotics out of Philadelphia, out of Palestine, and out of the borderlands. As long as Ghost Robotics exists and keeps peddling their killer robot dogs, there’s blood on all of our hands. We will not stop targeting Ghost Robotics and their backers. If you profit off of genocide, you are on notice.
As we cross the threshold of one year since the people of Palestine took a bulldozer through the apartheid wall, we must reflect on how far we have come, and how far we still have to go to see the liberation of Palestine and the liberation of all people from colonialism, militarism and imperialism. This last year of resistance to apartheid and genocide has mobilized millions, and support for the people of Palestine is stronger than ever before. Even still, the US and Israeli backed assault on the Levant carries on, with escalations in the West Bank, Lebanon, and Iran, and doctors estimating that 200,000 people have been killed. If the US government won’t stop sending weapons to Israel, we hope people will do what they can to stop the weapons themselves.
So long as Ghost Robotics exists and until Palestine is free, people in Philly and around the world will continue to fight against agents of genocide. Revolution until Liberation. Free Free Palestine!
House —
On the morning of October 10, an autonomous group targeted the home of Gavin Kenneally, co-founder and CEO of Ghost Robotics. The group painted “Funded By Genocide” across his garage, and “I Make Killer Dogs” on the sidewalk, threw paint at the door and ring camera, and smashed windows. We firmly say — we don’t want your dog shit in Philadelphia! And we don’t want it anywhere!
Gavin’s home is currently listed for sale for a whopping $1.9 million dollars. While his autonomous robots are shipped across the world to patrol and surveil Palestinians, Gavin awaits the sale of his lavish home he’s made with dirty money.
Other manufacturers of autonomous robots have stated their commitment to not arming robot dogs, but Ghost Robotics has positioned themselves as the dealer for these weapons. They clearly have no shame or concern about their robot dogs being used to surveil and kill people.
No genocide profiteer should sit comfortably in their home — we commit to draining funds from Gavin, to reminding him that his robot dogs are agents of U.S. imperialism, and to closing down Ghost Robotics.
Until all people are able to live safely and freely in the place they call home, we commit to fighting for our collective liberation.
In the night of 7 to 8th June, we burned two trucks inside the company premises of Jean Lefebvre, subsidiary of Vinci, at Castanet-tolosan.
The world military market, Eurosatory, is opening in ten days’ time in Paris while the massacres in Palestine continue and Macron drowns again and again in his speeches of total rearmament. The present war economy is condemning us to ever more violent austerity. In France, the interior and exterior war is based on territorial conquest whose infrastructures, military or civilian, of control and circulation, are destroying our living spaces.
BTP/TP and Vinci as one of the largest French companies, are profiting greatly from this permanent war, both in the grid of the cities, motorways, bitumining the countryside, as in future reconstruction projects, eyeing international markets where colonial devastation is taking place.
We want to participate in what is attempting to undermine this economic logic. And we also see in the Olympic Games an issue to counter them and struggle against everything we’ll get thrown at us afterwards. Because as following all the OG, beyond the State spectacle in these arenas that destroy everything in order to make them exist, austerity plans will follow. In 2004 in Greece the Olympic Games foreshadowed the austerity measures of 2008, and poverty, the scrapping of social assistance await us even more violently today after those of Paris. Faced with the ultra-determined neoliberal front, there are many attempts, various responses, actions and wild irruptions that continue in spite of the ongoingt repression and intimidation.
With or without flames, before, during and after the OG, let’s contribute to destroying the State that only serves the military-industrial interests of shit. We greet all those who are attempting to slow down the crushing of all resistence and all joy.
In the early hours of the morning on Valentines Day, Hudson Technologies Co. was redecorated by a gang of lovers.
The building and fuel tankers now bear love letters for Gaza and over hatred for Zionism. Wheat pasted fliers with pictures of Palestinian martyrs murdered by Israel line the facilities windows, and fliers against GILEE (Georgia International Law Enforcement Exchange) cover the doors. The access gate is chained shut. The locks are overflowing with super glue.
Hudson Technologies has a 5 year, $250 million dollar contract with the US Department of Defense for gas and fuel production. Part of this work is being done in Smyrna, at 5211 Industrial Ct SE. Between 2021 and 2026, Hudson Technologies will manufacture fuel for the US Army, Navy, Air Force, Marine Corps, and a number of foreign militaries, including Israel.
Over the last 4 months, 1.4 million Palestinians have fled to Raffah for safety and are now being carpet bombed. The senate passed a 14 billion dollar weapons budget for Israel this week.
Solidarity means attack. Hudson is complicit in genocide. Target every contractor, every point of capital that lends itself to Israel’s genocidal campaign against the Palestinian people.
“And now their are masses of people who are rising and breaking their shackles and chains. Eternal memory to you, oh brother, in the honorable struggle you have fallen.”
Armed with these verses, which come from our own 1940-49 era here in Greece and guided by the unity of the revolutionary achievements that are currently taking place in Palestine, we carried out an arson attack on the offices of the Israeli shipping company ZIM at dawn on Wednesday 17/01.
The Israeli company ZIM, since its establishment in 1945, has been actively involved in supplying the murderous Israeli army with military equipment for the Palestinian front. A process which continues even today, unhindered and frequently from the port of Piraeus. ZIM is one of the heavyweights of Zionist capital as it ranks among the ten most powerful shipping companies in Israel. Also, its targeting by the revolutionary Houthi guerrilla movement of the Yemeni people has exposed its active role in the genocide of the Gaza Strip.
A little over a hundred days. Days that are obscured by the sounds of artillery and buildings being demolished in an instant. Nights haunted by the explosions of aerial bombardment. Periods of time where minute by minute, street by street, house by house another magnificent chapter of the Palestinian resistance is written. Another magnificent chapter in the history of the Peoples’ Resistance against their occupiers, against their timeless oppressors.
On October 7, 2023, the combined action of the armed resistance organizations of the struggling Palestinian people achieved an unthinkable blow against one of the most powerful militaries in the world, the Israeli occupation forces. An occupation that has already counted seventy-five years of violence, persecution, arrests and imprisonment without trials, torture, executions, killings, murders of civilians and the continuous expansion of Israel into Palestinian territory in violation of all treaties. Aggressive expansion, with constant escalations, which has led millions of Palestinians to be uprooted or to live crammed into strips and patches of land under inhumane, suffocating conditions of military enforcement, surveillance, control, deprivation of basic human rights, basic goods and health care, on a thin line between life and death.
In this suffocating context, the Palestinian people manage to organize themselves, overcoming immense difficulties and attacking the occupier who tries to break their resistance. The Palestinian Resistance organizations continue operations and achieve daily blows against the Zionist occupation forces. Even at this very moment, when the Israeli army has penetrated deep into the Gaza Strip, as it is attacking the West Bank and striking mercilessly and indiscriminately, slaughtering tens of thousands of Palestinians. For all its overwhelming show of force, the Zionist state of Israel is failing to achieve its key objectives, with international and domestic pressure to end the war and find a diplomatic solution mounting and political time running out for a viable way out for the far-right Netanyahu government.
In the context of these conditions, the Greek state, as an integral part of the imperialist mechanisms of NATO, as a proud distant outpost of the USA, declares its support for the Zionist aggressors and the massacre of the Palestinian people, diplomatically and also practically by facilitating the Israeli war machine through the provision of an uninterrupted supply of military equipment and also with military personnel as part of the NATO support forces off the coast of Palestine. This is also made possible through the great growth and profitability of Israeli capital with investments of tens of millions in the real estate sector, and the tourism and transport industries.
On Thursday, an armed militant took several employees of the Procter & Gamble factory in Turkey hostage, in protest against Israel’s ground operation in the Gaza Strip. The hostages were all employees of the American-owned factory.
The militant took the employees hostage around 03:00 p.m. in the factory located in Kocaeli province’s Gebze industrial zone.
In a photo published on social media platforms and local news outlets, the man can be seen inside the factory with his face covered with a Palestinian keffiyeh, and what appears to be an explosive device strapped to his body.
In another photo, he’s seen holding a gun in one hand and making a “V” sign with his other hand, next to a wall on which Palestinian and Turkish flags are painted with the caption “Gates will open. Either coffin rest or death for Gaza.”
Procter & Gamble, based in Cincinnati, employs about 700 people at three sites in Istanbul and Kocaeli, including the Gebze plant. The factories mainly produce cleaning and hygiene products for brands like Gillette and Oral-B.
The Turkish sites serve as a hub for operations in eight countries, according to the company.
As the United States bears direct responsibility for the ongoing genocide of Palestinians in Gaza, America’s capitalist industries, such as Procter & Gamble, will continue to be legitimate targets for anti-imperialist revolutionaries internationally.
The United States is the single largest manufacturer and distributor of armaments in the world. This means weapons producing facilities are all around us, yet seldom do anti-war/anti-colonial movements identify and target the private companies that profit and enable these wars to be fought.
In this particular historical moment, with a years-long land war in Ukraine depleting the global stockpile of munitions and armaments, any disruption to the supply chain related to the production and distribution of armaments and ammunition in the United States has an immediate and real world impact on the ability of forces to drop bombs, fire rockets, deploy mines or bombard with artillery.
Movements attempting to disrupt the live-streamed genocide by Israeli forces in Gaza for over the last hundred days have periodically managed to identify and disrupt the flow of arms from the United States to Israel by targeting facilities or blockading infrastructure such as ports.
In the spirit of free people’s taking matters into their own hands, of autonomous direct action and a refusal to wait for permission, salvation or the intervention of a higher power, we offer the following list of local area arms manufacturers.
As with anything you come across on the internet, we urge groups and individuals to do their own research and reconnaissance prior to engaging in any action.
Headquartered at 1500 Spring Garden St, Philadelphia PA, 19130
Family owned company that operates several major US Army ammunition plants, producing 155mm artillery rounds, 120mm tank rounds, mines, hand grenades and more. Does private security for US Embassy in Jerusalem.
Parent company of American Ordinance LLC, Kansas LLC, SOC, Mason & Hanger
Makes ruggedized displays for military application
Elbit systems is an Israeli arms manufacturer with operations in the US and contracts with Homeland Security for US Border security. It is the target of an international campaign by Palestine Action
have you heard of MTU? it’s a subsidiary of Rolls Royce, based in Germany (but also operate in turtle island). a quick review of the MTU Solutions website will reveal they manufacture diesel engines for many unfavorable purposes: oil/gas extraction, mining vehicles, yachts, and perhaps most notably– military use.
MTU engines power 80% of the Israeli naval boats, as well as their Merkava tanks and armored personnel carriers. additionally, Rolls Royce components make possible the F-35 warplanes that carry out the genocidal airstrikes on Gaza.
“what better way to remember Tort than to leave caltrops and wall/window messages for a MTU engine technician training center?”, we thought.
and did.
free Palestine
revenge for Tortuguita
make every war profiteer afraid
ps-
there is so much more to do.
some of the aforementioned engines are made in so-called Michigan.
