Early in the morning of August 23, the Heritage Village Scotiabank branch (111st & 23ave) in Edmonton had its doors glued shut and windows spray painted with the message “SCOTIABANK FUNDS GENOCIDE”, calling out the bank for its illegal investments in Elbit System, Israel’s largest privately-owned weapons manufacturer. Elbit provides up to 85 percent of the land-based equipment procured by the Israeli military and about 85 percent of its drones. To any inconvenienced by the actions taken to disrupt the flow of weapons, consider moving your money to a credit union that will not invest it in genocide. It is all of our obligation to impose material costs on all entities that enable and profit from genocide. Let no bank or branch be allowed to carry on with business as usual while they profit from the slaughter of Palestinians. From the river to the sea, Palestine will be free. Take action, take care.
