Cut the genocidal supply: Join the BDS Global Week of Action against Elbit Systems | BDS Movement
The Palestinian-led BDS movement calls for global days of action from April 20 - 25, targeting Elbit Systems and its complicit supply chain. Elbit Systems is Israel's largest weapons manufacturer and primary supplier to Israel’s genocidal army. It develops, manufactures, and sells weapons, surveillance technology, and military equipment. These are used in Israel's ongoing genocide against Palestinians in Gaza, in its apartheid system against the entire Indigenous people of Palestine, and its ongoing criminal aggression against the peoples of the region.
Elbit Systems has been a primary target of the BDS movement’s Military Embargo campaign since 2007, and remains a priority target for BDS pressure and divestment campaigns. BDS-affiliated activists have peacefully occupied or blocked Elbit Systems factories in the UK and Brazil, including in a precedent-setting case near Birmingham (UK) in 2014.
Elbit is not just a weapons company — it is a cornerstone of Israel's military-industrial complex, directly profiting from and enabling Israel's apartheid regime and ongoing genocide against Palestinians. The company's drones and surveillance systems enable Israel’s precision bombing of residential areas, and its military vehicles and weapons systems are used in attacks on Gaza. Elbit’s border control technology enables Israel’s siege of 2.3 million Palestinians, and its training systems prepare Israeli forces for carrying out ethnic cleansing operations.

Trump’s budget for 2027, a breakdown - by Stephen Semler
Trump’s budget for 2027, a breakdown - by Stephen Semler
"The White House’s recent budget proposal outlines how the president wants to spend the public’s money next year. The gratuitous cuts to civilian agencies suggest the goal is smaller government. But that’s not the case — next year’s budget would still be $361 billion larger than last year’s. Trump’s concern isn’t the size of government; it’s what the government does and who it does it for.
So what does Trump want the government to do in 2027? More war, more (militarized) policing, and less of everything else. Based on his budget request, Trump sees little point in government outside performing those first two functions. War and policing receive record funding; funding for all other government functions is cut by $300 billion."
