John,
Despite the "ceasefire", Israeli forces shot at and crushed a 16-year-old Palestinian boy named Zaher Shamiya. A tank rolled over his body, splitting it in two.
Every week, shipping giant Maersk is funneling thousands of tonnes of ammunition and weapon components to carry out these atrocities, all while the world looks away.
But our pressure on Maersk is working. Earlier this year, we helped force Maersk to stop shipping goods to and from illegal Israeli settlements — a major step in cutting off Israel's occupation economy.
Now, with its Annual General Meeting approaching, all eyes are on Maersk's weapons shipments. Let's do what we did before and force the company to stop fueling Israel's war machine.
Tell Maersk: stop shipping military cargo to Israel.
Maersk, headquartered in Denmark, is one of the biggest shipping companies on the planet — and it works hard to project an image of responsibility and human rights. But behind its branding, Maersk is still the main transport company powering Israel’s war machine.
Brand new investigations uncovered that Maersk continues to ship Israel’s military Merkava tank parts, fighter jet components, ammunition, and armored vehicles across Maersk’s maritime supply chain.
Our movement has already shown that Maersk responds when people everywhere speak out. Earlier this year, we challenged the company at its annual shareholder meeting and exposed its role in facilitating Israel’s violence -- forcing its leaders into the global spotlight.
Because of that pressure and relentless global campaigning, Maersk shifted its position — it can shift again. If we come together now, we can push Maersk to finally break from this deadly trade.
Tell Maersk: stop supplying Israel’s war machine.
