Activists in Vancouver came out to shame and expose Scotiabank for their investment in Israeli arms dealer Elbit Systems. Despite unusually cold weather, a large and spirited picket was held at the intersection at Broadway and Commercial during the busy rush hour. Under the big banner of “Israel bombs, Scotiabank pays”, the picket was highly visible and received great support from cars, buses, trucks and pedestrians. (Photos courtesy Michael YC Tseng)
We know that people are fed up with the support of both Canadian big business and the government for Israeli genocide and war crimes. Stay tuned for more actions coming up on Dec. 13/14!
