On the week of October 7th, marking one year into the genocide, St. Louisans took autonomous action, making visible the blood local war profiteers have on their hands, and demonstrating that these criminals are not welcome in our city.
St. Louisans targeted Leidos, a subsidiary of Lockheed Martin that works hand in hand with the IOF by providing screening technologies for checkpoints, providing system “modernization” to further the colonization of the Naqab, and is building prototypes for a high-energy laser weapon called the “Iron Beam.” The Leidos in Israel team themselves admit they are “embedded ” in the Zionist project and they have no home here in St. Louis.
St. Louisans also targeted ICL (Israel Chemicals Ltd), which processes and distributes phosphorus products mined by Bayer, sold to the U.S. Army to produce white phosphorus munitions, which are being illegally deployed in Gaza and Lebanon. ICL’s mines in the Naqab in occupied Palestine have repeatedly depleted and poisoned water resources; communities around the globe with ICL operations have experienced similar violations. Meanwhile, ICL has received $197M from the US government to expand operations in St. Louis.
The US war machine, in all its facets, is not welcome here in St. Louis. Inspired by the brave Palestinian resistance fighters and liberation movements across the globe, we will continue to fight these local props of US empire until the whole beast comes crashing down.
