In the early hours of July 13,  activists took direct action against a Raytheon Technologies warehouse in 838 55 Ave NE, AB, Calgary, in strong opposition to the company’s role in the ongoing Israeli genocide on the Palestinian people.

The vandalism includes smashed windows, a fire set within the warehouse and “Let Gaza Live” spray painted in red across the exterior.

The action was done in service of the global revolution against imperialism and in solidarity with the people of Gaza who even before October 2023 have suffered incremental genocide by decades of siege, dispossession and periodic bombing campaigns, and since October 2023 have been subjected to one of the most atrocious campaign of mass annihilation the modern era has ever seen.

Actionists are demanding the Canadian government to impose a 2 way arms embargo on Israel and to restrict Canadian facilities from producing components sent to Israel via intermediaries such as the United States.

Raytheon (now part of RTX Corporation) has been identified by international human rights organizations as a key supplier of weapons and technologies used in Israel’s genocide of the Palestinian people — including air-to-surface missile systems used with F-15 jets, bunker-buster bombs, and F-35 fighter components (under Canadian subsidiaries including Collins Aeropace, and Pratt & Whitney) which is the primary fighter jet used to bomb Gaza.

Actionists renew demands for a 2 way arms embargo on Israel and urge other activists in the imperial core to act against arms manufacturers and argue that facilities like the Calgary warehouse are part of a global supply chain fueling the holocaust in Gaza.
