On June 11, around 200 demonstrators from Jewish Voices for Peace occupied Maersk Corporation's Manhattan lobby, demanding the company cease its alleged support for Israel's military through arms shipments, particularly components for F-35 fighter jets. Despite tensions escalating and resulting in 100 arrests, protesters insisted that Maersk should focus on delivering humanitarian aid to Gaza instead of contributing to military operations. This action followed a report highlighting Maersk's shipping role in Israel's military operations, sparking outrage and a coordinated protest from the Palestinian Youth Movement and its allies.
Maersk is not just a carrier of goods; it is a central player sustaining Israel's military operations. Gaza is in dire need of shipments of aid.
About two hundred demonstrators occupied the company's lobby, charging that Maersk has been helping deliver components for Israel's F-35 fighter jets used in Gaza.
