The people demand: no military cargo to Israel through the San Diego Airport!
The Palestinian Youth Movement (PYM), US Campaign for Palestinian Rights, and the San Diego for Palestine Coalition, have come together to call for an end to all shipments of military cargo from the San Diego airport to Israel and to demand a San Diego Arms Embargo on Israel. Research concluded that San Diego has played a central role in developing and transporting Military cargo to the Israeli Military. Shipments have been sent from San Diego to Israel over the past year. Research done in Oakland uncovered San Diegos role in transporting military cargo to the Israeli military. Key components for the F-35 Fighter jets are being developed and sent from San Diego to Israel multiple times this past year.
San Diego’s resources should prioritize our community needs, not enable ethnic cleansing of the Palestinian people.Public civilian infrastructure should not be used to facilitate daily massacres in Gaza.Our beloved county of San Diego should not be a facilitator of genocide in Gaza.
Our Demands:
1. Immediately cease all military cargo shipments from San Diego International Airport to Israel.
2. Implement an arms embargo through a permanent ordinance of ethical procurement that prohibits and restricts the transportation of military cargo and supplies through San Diego’s public finances and infrastructure.
3. Create governmental processes of accountability and transparency to ensure San Diego is not complicit with genocide worldwide.
