On July 16, nearly 600 people joined us live for the launch of #ElbitOutofCanada, the next phase of the multi-year Arms Embargo Now campaign that World BEYOND War Canada co-founded alongside Palestinian Youth Movement, IJV Canada, CJPME, Labour for Palestine Canada, Palestine Solidarity Network, and Labour Against the Arms Trade.
Elbit is Israel’s biggest arms manufacturer and the industrial arm of the genocide in Palestine. No company is profiting more, and no company is more necessary for Israel’s ongoing military violence – not only in Palestine, but in Lebanon and Iran.
And yet, two and a half years on, dozens of Canadian suppliers across the country continue to send parts directly to Elbit’s Israeli factories. Meanwhile, the Canadian government continues to purchase arms from Elbit. Elbit subsidiaries are lobbying our politicians and Elbit representatives are visiting our cities to hawk their weapons.
We say: Enough is enough. Not one more part. Not one more dollar. Not one more ounce of legitimacy to the engine of Israel’s war machine. Elbit OUT of Canada.
On the July 16 mass call, we introduced our two-pronged strategy to make this happen. Now, it’s your turn to take action.
ADOPT YOUR LOCAL ELBIT SUPPLIER
Across the country, there are dozens of companies with ties to Elbit systems, including many sending ongoing shipments of Canadian components to Elbit factories in Israel. We are inviting you to adopt your local Elbit supplier and take action to pressure them to stop all business with Elbit Systems. Your task will be to make your target supplier’s connection to Elbit (and, through Elbit, to Israel’s genocide) so undeniable, so inconvenient, so politically toxic, that they are forced to stop sending parts to Elbit. We will stop the flow of Canadian components to Israel’s largest arms manufacturer, one factory at a time.
ACCESS THE TOOLKIT. ACCESS THE SUPPLIER MAP.
DEMAND THAT CANADA SANCTION ELBIT
Elbit Systems is the engine of Israel’s genocidal war machine. The federal government must sanction Elbit now. Sanctions on Elbit would block anyone in Canada from doing business in any way with Elbit or its subsidiaries: no trade with Elbit, no supplying parts to or receiving parts from Elbit, and no financial services to, support of, or investments in Elbit. Send an email now to your MP and key Ministers.
If the Carney government thought that doubling down on militarism and arms exports would stop our efforts to cut off the flow of Canadian weapons to Israel, they couldn’t be more wrong. We are taking an arms embargo into our own hands – and we’re starting with Elbit Systems.
We hope you’ll join us (on the streets, at Elbit suppliers, and online — in case you missed it, we just launched a new Instagram account too).
Save the Date: Our next big national moment will be a Put Elbit On Notice Day of Action on August 13th.
