No More Deaths urges boycott of Israel




The humanitarian aid group on the border 'No More Deaths' cites Israel's role in the militarization of the US/Mexico border, including the Tucson-based Raytheon Missiles, and Elbit Systems. Homeland security gave Elbit, the Israeli defense contractor based in Israel, the US/Mexico border surveillance contract in 2014. This includes spy towers on the Arizona border and the sovereign Tohono O'odham Nation. -- Indigenous Resistance

No More Deaths is an organization that believes that when governments fail to uphold fundamental human rights, it is the responsibility of people of conscience to work openly and in community to do so, through non-violent, direct intervention.  Despite internal debates we’ve long held that commentary on the Israeli occupation of Palestinian lands was best left to other organizations.  But given the urgency of the present moment we’ve reached a collective decision that we can—and should—no longer remain silent.
