Palestinian Rights Demo Watervliet Arsenal Sept. 14

Hudson Mohawk Magazine

On Saturday Sept. 14 at 2 PM, Palestinian rights groups will hold a protest against weapons manufacturers at the Watervliet Arsenal. Israel's attacks on Gaza and the occupied West Bank over the past 300 days have resulted in a confirmed death toll of at least 40,000 people. The United States has supplied Israel with funding and weapons. As recently as 2017, Watervliet Arsenal was the designated manufacturer for Elbit’s $103 Million direct contract with the IDF for mortar weapons systems. Eyad Alkurabi of the Queer Palestinian Empowerment Network talks to Mark Dunlea of Hudson Mohawk Magazine about the event.
