Pledge: I Won't Buy Moto
GOODBYE MOTO! GOODBYE APARTHEID!
Join the New York Campaign for the Boycott of Israel (NYCBI) as we launch our city-wide boycott of Motorola!
Monday, March 30
7:45-9:30 am
Motorola's NYC Office
335 Adams St., Brooklyn
(A,C,F to Jay St./Borough Hall, 2,3,4,5 to Borough Hall, M,R to Court St./Borough Hall or to Lawrence St./Metro Tech)
Why Boycott?
In the wake of Israel's recent assault on the people of Gaza and the US government's complicity in the attacks, we as people of conscience in the US must challenge Israeli policies. Israel systematically violates Palestinian human rights through unrelenting checkpoints, surveillance, house demolitions, and military aggression. Hundreds of Palestinian civil society organizations have called on the world to work on campaigns of boycott, divestment, and sanctions (BDS) against Israel and New York is taking up the call! We, the New York Campaign for the Boycott of Israel, call for a boycott of Motorola until it stops profiting from and supporting Israeli apartheid.
Why Motorola?
We demand Motorola end its production and sale of fuzes to the Israeli military
Motorola Israel produces fuzes used in cluster bombs, 'bunker-buster' bombs, and a variety of other bombs. Cluster bombs, whose export was recently banned by the US government, are each composed of hundreds of exploding bomblets that spray metal shrapnel over a large area when they explode.
Cluster bombs are specifically condemned by an international consensus of human rights organizations, banned by many countries, and even the US government has voiced concern over their use, especially in civilian areas. Despite this, Israel has regularly used cluster bombs in the past few years.http://BoycottIsraelNYC.org
