Yesterday, it was confirmed that an Elbit Systems site was shut down following popular and community pressure using a variety of tactics for over a year, in a first of its kind victory in the US. This comes a few days after reports indicated that the site was vacated.
BDS Boston, one of the groups that mobilized to shut down Elbit, published the following statement. Attached are photos of the statement and some of the persistent actions that took place at the now closed site.
—
Elbit Systems has been forced to vacate 130 Bishop Allen Drive, Cambridge MA, the site of their "Cambridge Innovation Center" that was launched in 2021. This is a testament to our collective power.
Elbit's departure from Cambridge is the result of a year-long campaign of diverse tactics including weekly community pickets and property destruction. Sustained pressure from BDS Boston, Palestine Action US, Palestinian Youth Movement, students, and anonymous community members made Elbit's presence in Cambridge untenable.
Our work to eliminate Elbit's presence in our community is not done. We will fight to prevent Elbit from moving its "Cambridge Innovation Center" to another location. We will fight to sever Elbit's ties with MIT and other actors in the Boston area.
We are not acting alone. Community members from Florida to South Carolina and across Turtle Island are bringing this fight to Elbit's remaining U.S. facilities. Elbit's presence anywhere must be met with fierce resistance. Collectively, we can make it impossible for Elbit to sustain its operations.
Inspired by the courage of the Palestinian resistance in the face of genocide, we are more committed than ever to dismantling Elbit Systems and its collaborators. Our work is not done. We will not consider ourselves victorious until Palestine is free.

🚨 A leadership source in the Palestinian resistance to Al-Mayadeen:
—
The Doha meetings failed, and the negotiations are on the brink of collapse.
The Doha meetings failed to deter "israel" from insisting on staying in the "Philadelphia" corridor.
The Doha meetings failed to lift the veto on 65 Palestinian prisoners sentenced to life imprisonment.
The negotiations are heading toward collapse due to "israel's" refusal to respond to the mediators' proposals to resolve the outstanding issues.
Hamas asserts that the negotiations in their current form will not lead to an agreement.
Mediators are deeply frustrated by "israel's" intransigent positions and see it as the only obstacle in the negotiations.
The mediators say Washington is not applying enough pressure on "israel," despite knowing its positions are unjustified.

In the Name of Allah, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful.
"Rejoicing in what Allah has given them of His bounty, and they receive good tidings about those after them who have not yet joined them - that there will be no fear concerning them, nor will they grieve."
This is the Truth of Allah, the Almighty.
With the highest expressions of pride and honor, the Al-Aqsa Martyrs' Brigades, the military wing of the Palestinian National Liberation Movement - Fatah, exalts to our steadfast Palestinian people and to the free people of our Arab and Islamic nation:
The heroic martyr and fighter, the brother of martyrs: Mohammed Bassam Arabi
From the fighters of the Al-Aqsa Martyrs' Brigades in Jenin
Who ascended to the Highest as a martyr during Al-Aqsa Flood battle, on the morning of Thursday, 25th of Safar 1446 AH / corresponding to 29th August 2024, while confronting the brutal zionist aggression against the city of Jenin and its camp in the northern West Bank.

The Brigades also emphasize that their valiant fighters, who demonstrated heroism yesterday in their confrontations, battles, and explosive devices against the invading zionist forces on various axes in all cities and camps, will continue to be the shield and support for our people alongside their fellow fighters from various resistance factions.
