In late May, an anti-Israel campaign, calling itself “Global Intifada,” published a database of factories, ports, and shipping routes it accuses of arming Israel.
“They’ve all been mapped,” the group wrote. “So you can find your way in.”
The banner, titled “Genocide Supply Chain,” reads, “Together, we can disarm the genocidal entity.” Every location is assigned a confidence score indicating how strongly it is linked to Israeli military supply chains.
The catalog targets a broad range of entities beyond Israel’s defense contractors. A British manufacturer of F-16 drogue parachutes received a 95 percent confidence rating based on reported sales to Israel, Greece, and Turkey. A Glasgow shipyard is listed with a 65 percent confidence score for contributing to a so-called “global naval design and technology ecosystem.” A Washington signals-intelligence vendor made the list despite having no Israeli contracts, based on speculation that American technology could ultimately reach Israel.
The group urges supporters to form picket lines and pressure dockworkers into refusing suspect vessels. It also directs them to join Palestine Action for “direct action” against manufacturers. Palestine Action is known for tactics that have included vandalism and facility incursions.
Promotional material recasts “intifada” as legitimate resistance against what it terms “the violence done to Palestinians,” listing house demolitions, child arrests, the Gaza siege, and settlement expansion. Backers draw parallels to anti-apartheid struggle and decolonization movements across the Global South.
“We need to reclaim the word, honor it, join forces, and act now,” the website reads.
