LONDON — Global Intifada published a 'Genocide Supply Chain' map identifying arms-related facilities and transportation routes allegedly supporting Israel, including factories, ports, and vessel movements. The map features a banner stating: "Together, we can disarm the genocidal entity."
The map includes facilities owned by Israeli defense firm Elbit Systems due to their direct connections to Israel’s military industry. It also lists a UK-based manufacturer of F-16 drogue parachutes, citing a 95% confidence score for its connection to Israel based on reported shipments to Israel, Greece, and Turkey. A Glasgow shipyard appears on the map with a 65% confidence score, not for building vessels for Israel but for its role in the "global naval design and technology ecosystem." Additionally, a Washington, D.C. company is included for providing signal intelligence and cyber expertise to U.S. defense agencies, though the map notes no known Israeli contracts.
Global Intifada expressed concern that U.S. technology could reach Israel through shared supply chains. In a Tuesday Instagram post, the group stated: "They’ve all been mapped — the factories, the ports, the movements. So you can find your way in. This chain is global. So must be our resistance."
The group encourages dockworkers to refuse to handle vessels it deems suspect and urges activists to form picket lines. It also proposes that supporters join groups like Palestine Action to conduct "direct action" against manufacturers, which the group associates with vandalism and sabotage raids.
On its website, Global Intifada addresses the term "intifada," writing: "The western world has turned the word [intifada] into a synonym for terrorism — so you'll look away from the actual violence. They want you to fear it. They want to distract us from the violence done to Palestinians — the house demolitions, the child arrests, the siege of Gaza, the settlement expansion eating the West Bank." It adds: "But intifada means resistance. Not terrorism. Resistance. The same resistance that threw off apartheid in South Africa, that broke colonial rule across the Global South, that every occupied people has exercised as a human right. We need to reclaim the word, honor it, join forces and act now."
No independent assessment of Global Intifada’s claims was available.
